Rig Rundown: Buddy Miller

[@aarontfoulkes]

This is the first time I have seen an interview with Buddy Miller. I admire how humble he is. A tremendous artist...!

[@jaceyhorvath5704]

No offense to the other interviewers on the Rundowns, but this fella did an outstanding job with an outstanding musician. One of in not THE best RR's. Thank you for this!

[@arnaupericas8626]

totally agree man

[@organjoe]

Yes - Agreed - WAAAAY better IMO.

[@JaceEverettTV]

Totally agree. It helped that he knew Buddy's new music. Great way to ingratiate yourself to an already open and gracious man. Buddy is THE MAN!!

[@billedwards2657]

If you listen to buddy’s music over his career you get a hint of why everything he touches turns to gold. This was the most necessary rig rundown in all Nashville

[@andygodby729]

Yes I can’t put finger on why, but it felt easy. Relaxed

[@jupitermoongauge4055]

Buddy is the only country guy I listen to. He takes all the bullshit out of country music and puts beauty and soul in its place, an incredible feat.

[@buddymiller3723]

Thanks for you love and support for my music aspirations and never giving up on me🌹. How long have you been a fan?

[@spyderlogan4992]

"I listen for a living..." Boom, there it is...The first time I heard Buddy was on the Emmy Lou album, 'Spyboy' and 'Deeper Well' was the cut that sold it for me...what a sound and musical force. Thanks PG for this one. Well Done~!

I'd like to say I've known about Buddy Miller forever but it's only been a few years since I became aware of his presence in so much of the music I like. Now I look for him in everything I hear/see. I have been interested in that (Italian) guitar of his ever since the first article I read about him and his music. I have learned what a genius he is and I have now confirmed to myself what I have always suspected with this interview that he is a genuinely good guy. I will listen with even more appreciation from this day forward. Great interview guys!

[@bobperry5037]

What a wonderful interview!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Buddy is just one of the best guitar players ever! I've learned a lot from listening to him play.

[@hwinc]

He had the pleasure of talking with Buddy Miller several times on the Cayamo cruise over 12 years. He is an outstanding player, but also a sweet and modest guy. He is very approachable and genuine with fans and love to talk about music.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Maybe one of the best people full stop? So it seems anyway.

[@kerrynoble9609]

What a refreshing interview and commentary. Buddy is such a fine guitar player, everything he works on and records, has his signature sound and a feel ,all his own....really admire his humble ,down to earth attitude .....just a great interview...Kudos to the interviewer, as well....a pleasure to watch and absorb all that musical history....Thanks...

Beautiful playing, beautiful tone as always, wonderful interview… And jeez does Buddy seem humble. Can tell he’s in it for the music and nothing more

[@davidp158]

Buddy is one of my faves; great song writer, great singer, great guitarist, great producer/engineer. His presence has graced some of my favorite music, so thanks for featuring him. Regarding position markers with capos, it would be sooooo easy to add LED position markers to the side of the neck that could be easily shifted to accommodate a capo. Just sayin'

[@chrisevans1546]

This is a rig rundown. 3 years old or not - this is who you interview, and this is the right interviewer for the job. Fantastic.

Great interview- I’ve been a fan of Buddy and Julie since their days of living in East Texas in the early 80’s. He was the guitarist at a church I went to. He was as nice then as he is in this interview. 🙏He’s a musician’s musician!

I must compliment Buddy on his good taste in amps, I have that exact same Swart Atomic Jr., 5 watts of pure tube bliss and reverb to die for.

[@mannishboy1]

Best rig rundown ever! How about a thin LED strip down the side of the neck that's switchable to "move the dots" when you capo? You could put the switch on the battery box and tape or velcro it on the back of the headstock. That's the only way I can think of that doesn't involve modifying your instruments. It would also help you see in low light situations. Just a thought!
