Only had 2 guitar lessons ever. They were from this man. He was unbelievably patient with me. Very kind soul and an amazing player, singer and storyteller.

[@TommyB-e8r]

Was that at galaxy music by chance. ?

[@josephestes7076]

@user-cg9sc3us1v actually, it was at his house in Decatur, but i did hang out at Galaxy all the time. I bought a relatively low quality gibson sg there one time. It actually played great for the money. I set it up for slide and back then I couldn't play slide to save my life. So I gave that guitar to a young up and coming kid. Can't remember his name, but he was great.

To all of you bitching about the tone of that Guild. Go and check out the Wood Brothers live, preferably in a smallish venue. It'll change your mind.

[@jordanb9511]

100%

[@surfraf65]

My favorite Rig Rundown ever. Oliver is such a great player and so articulate. I learned more from this episode than probably any other. Amazing!

[@brechtloyens3892]

This got to be my favorite rig rundown ever. Didn t knew the wood brothers, but dammm

[@gravyboatsnc]

Saw The Wood Brothers perform in a small radio studio about 10 feet in front of my face, and I've never heard a sound that huge coming from three dudes before or since. Still boggles the mind.

[@jonnybeck6723]

The way "quirky" relates to the others in the band is surely MAGICAL! Thanx for another great RR & cheers

[@DeepFriedHallelujah]

Glad to see this. Been a huge fan of the Wood Brothers for over a decade. Such a talented crew.

[@mccloskeyjamie]

I'm a longtime Wood Brothers fan. Oliver is a true artist. Love seeing into his funky toolbox - everything with purpose and intention. Great player, cool dude!

[@bwa_8]

Great gear, great sounds, great player 🔥🔥🔥

[@musicforyou2010]

Thank you, PG, for another great episode!!!!!! Greetings from Germany.

[@scottdenney6475]

Oliver wood is one of my absolute favorite guitar players ever

[@realgoodmind]

Don’t know how I just saw this for the first time….love Wood Bros.

[@howlinthewilderness]

I love this pedal board 30:51

[@matthewcasey4795]

I've found that playing dry (with no reverb or delay) and using guitars with less sustain has made me a better rhythm player. It forces you to improve your timing and to control your fingers on both hands to get some sort of sustain/ ring from what is essentially a dead instrument.

[@eddie3064]

Probably the least resonant guitars I've heard in a rig rundown and I loved every sound Oliver got out of them. Talk about vintage! Damn, you literally feel like you're listening to somebody in the 1950s. Anyway, I discovered the Wood Brothers about 7 or 8 years ago and I've been a fan ever since...

[@TrevorPeachMusic]

So cool!

[@christopherkelley3185]

So excited to see someone else who gets the Kay 703 amp! These things are great and cheap. Be careful - some need to be modded with an isolation transformer so you don't get shocked. Such a wonderful, versatile amp!!

[@jipes]

One of the best Rig Rundown lots of tasty tricks and tips and of course the huge talent of Oliver Wood. Touching story about Sean Costello which was a real blues gem check out Live at Jazzbones on You Tube you're in for a ball !

[@MrZyphose]

I love his crazy sound! I sometimes wonder if some folks are just pulling your leg. He is for real doing it on purpose to great effect..

[@benlogan430]

Tone for freakin days and days! Excellent rundown for certain. Gonna check this guy out indeed.

[@mattflickinger8151]

Funny, his sound is like everything i try to avoid on my rig! Too dark! Fits their music though...

[@chrisholbrooks412]

That guild comes to life when he puts a slide on his finger.

[@nathanmorgan2124]

RIP Sean Costello!! Amazing Atlanta guitarist

[@STRATMAN1969]

I loved this ,and found it very helpful .I've been messin' around with slide lately while doing the rhythm chord thing ,and will for sure be coping that half G tuning trick, and for all you young bucks I will be sayin' "I'm tuning down to D"ha. I also use my middle finger for the slide ,and thought it was just a bad habit acquired from my first slide ( a bic lighter ha! ) now I'm thinking it might just be an old guy thing : )

[@kwsailer1]

Sean Costello was a MONSTER TALENT! He is missed!

[@TheDizzack]

Its all in the hands, perfect example.

[@brianblase5573]

Guy could play a shoebox with rubber bands and make it sound like gold. The sound IS in his fingers.

[@joescarecrow]

Thanks for getting Oliver on. The wood brothers are my favourite. Can't wait for his new album

[@StandbyCymbalist]

Oh good, I take it this means Chris Wood gets his own double episode Rundown!! Woods Bros + MMW

[@xeverettx2564]

Wow totally let this dude here slip under my radar....not sure how! Can’t wait to start listening to some stuff. I’m sure I’ll like if it’s anything close to what he was playing in this video. I have I very similar dogma about small amps and quirky catalog guitars from way back. I play a Gretsch Special Jet with the DeArmond 2000 pick ups and super dark tobacco burst, Gibson Melody Maker, and a 1951 Silvertone f-hole acoustic. My “big amp” is a VHT Ultra Special 6. It’s 15w class A and can go as low as 1w. I usually play on 7watts with all six knobs cranked with only the tone selector between 6-7ish on the clean channel with volume booster pulled up on the volume knob. If it’s a big venue I will do 15 watts instead. And in conjunction with that amp I have my “small amp”a 1930 something-ish Masco with a 7” speaker 4watts classA one knob only and it’s a volume knob cranked at 10. That setup also screams when you play some blues harp Little Walter style!! Yeah I have all kinda of big equipment but for the band I play in now that small rig is heaven so good on ya Oliver Wood!

[@andywaldrop5113]

Such an amazing unique sound. Where is Oliver's National Resonator?

[@jensschettler1732]

Using no pedals bedides that boss trem?

[@toonzboss]

Apparently Oliver is no longer with King Johnson? Is King Johnson still working?

[@josephestes7076]

Negative

[@amberwoodstudio]

Oooooo yummy. I get so tired of guitarists trying to convince everyone how special their stat or lp is. Ha ha.

[@snotbog]

different sound

[@kevinolear6717]

Sean Costello

[@teddnagurski5583]

Everybody knows boxers have better tone than tighty whities.

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

Gotta use tone cotton

[@STRATMAN1969]

I heard if you want authentic 50's tone you gota use Rayon ; )

[@jralanmorgan]

Anybody else getting Scott from JHS Pedals vibes?

[@accidentals_hacks]

The beginning was supposed to be good tone? Asking for a friend.

[@andredegiant3876]

I agree, but that’s D’Addario for ya 😉

[@benlogan430]

So, I’m guessing that you didn’t enjoy his tone? 🤷🏼‍♂️🦖

[@joshuamoshpitmarler2804]

That guitar sounds like crap

[@josephestes7076]

Thats the point. His music is pretty rootsy and he is all about that dumpster fire tone haha.

[@wrenchhead4378]

Wow.. really? Your squier sounds better?

[@accidentals_hacks]

It sounds like interesting crap. That a 150 star caster won’t sound like. Different kind of dead, unresonant, etc.

[@613brownie]

Your crap

[@accidentals_hacks]

@@613brownie Kinda like honky-tonk beat up piano also sounds like crap, but it's got its own mojo.
