Great interview John Do one on Vince Gill, Gregg Martin , and many more

[@cliffdykes1171]

That is awesome playing!!!

[@jennifer6833]

Premier Guitar can you interview view Vince Gill, Marty Stuart or Brad Paisley next on the country side

[@paultalon4414]

pro tip : watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

[@trentondylan1281]

@Paul Talon definitely, have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :)

[@gair1944]

This was my favorite Rig Rundown EVER. What a GREAT human being. So humble and kind. So talented. Playing is so fluid and his guitars, pedals and amps all make perfect sense. John Bolinger was clearly in awe of Wariner's chops. And John is such a warm, genuine guy too. MAD PROPS!!! Well done. Bravo

[@sooparticular]

great comment Gary!! I love your channel and as they say great recognizes great!!! I love Steve!!!

[@billyrouse4813]

My dad used to own a sewing machine shop in Murfreesboro, TN. One day a guy came in to buy a machine, and my dad looked up when the guy said hello. He found himself face to face with Steve Wariner himself.

[@climbtibet]

Simply the the most humble and kick ass icon guitar picker I ever seen; simply the coolest - mega respect and salutations to Steve! 💪🎸🤟

[@climbtibet]

Gotta have a part two; just too much guitar and music stuff to cover. Steve has so many “awesomeness” stories that need to be covered and documented! ❤ loved the interview !

[@stringtheoryguitars4952]

This is more than a Rig Rundown. This is musical history.

[@SyntagmaStation]

I saw Steve play at Grand Ole Opry in ‘97. Never heard of him because I didn’t like country and got dragged there. I about crapped my pants! He could do it all. Incredible singer, amazing player, electrifying performer. Made a convert out of me.

[@leafamania1]

This guy could make a shoe lace sound great.

[@tjrox]

I love the EV V2 ribbon mic in the back. Looks like the one my pops gave me he used in his band in the late 50’s.

[@damagedbyus]

One the the absolute best guitar players you’ll ever see that’s under appreciated for his unbelievable skill! Love SW

[@brentboere5304]

Many country guitarists have seem to gone under a lot of radar and they were/are really over the top or even with the top players others think of. Glen Campbell, Roy Clark and Jerry Reed were some of the very best ever. Vince Gill, Brad Paisley and even Keith Urban are others as well.

[@sinnertrain7405]

Fantastic rig down! Steve Wariner is an amazing musician and very humble too.

[@masonvincent2446]

This one was really Special. Some of these are great but this one is EXCELLENT!!

[@Buffalobulltofta]

This is wonderful, thank's PG. (And Bohlinger needs to do all rig rundowns, but that's old news).

[@aaronpowell6053]

Steve has to be the nicest person ever.

[@NoQuadsNoMasters]

I am a metal kid but grew up on 90’s country. I saw Steve at a county fair when I was a kid and this dude smokessssssssss that geetar

[@michaelparson-mcnamara782]

That's probably my favorite John Bolinger interview, enjoying himself as a fan and co-gear head and Steve.... Well I had some fun for this weekend! Merry Christmas to both and all of us in the audience!

[@Chaomhainn]

I am impressed that finally Premier Guitar has a interview with a great player like Steve Warner . Never did I think that an event like this would be done. Rock and Metal players and their skills , all are good . But a player like Steve Warner and the likes of the country players , are more than top notch . Especially giving a honorary title by Chet Atkins . These old guys for my love of music rock as good and better than anyone alive today .

[@zundap100]

This is a good Rig Rundown, thanks Steve Wariner.

[@davidjessee7701]

Saw Steve in concert several times in RS ky.. one time I saw Steve with Chet Atkins in concert at my old high school.. and Terry....

[@billmusician]

It's a pleasure to watch someone who loves what they do

[@sugarlife485]

YES JOHN REALLY DOES

[@nicko6710]

What a champ. Gentleman and humble. Nice work as well John.

[@kendallruff8090]

This guy is a great interviewer..never gets in the way

[@lj61south]

I played at several telethons in Kentucky where he played. IMO one of the most underrated guitar players ever but also one of the nicest guys ever. Phenomenal player AND person.

[@ronnieking1025]

Thanks Uncle Jimmy

[@robd7182]

Very cool! It's awesome how much respect he has for his son!

[@Sellarmusic]

Every time I watch one of the John's rig rundowns I think it's the best one yet but they just keep getting better and better. As of today, this has to be one of my all time favorites. Great questions for one of the most gifted guitar players ever. What a great guitar and amp collection.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

this is what i call a christmas present!

[@hhattingh]

Really a good choice. Agreed

[@Billywagner22]

One of my musical heroes. Thanks guys!

[@bp7152]

Had the honor to meet SW back in the late 90’s and he was just as sweet as he is in this interview. Well done PG.

[@cojohnso80]

Every once in a while you hear someone talk and it's like you knew the person your whole life and you would trust them with everything you own. I am so thankful that I stumbled on this R.R. because I just became a fan of Steve Wariner the human.

[@EzyDzy85]

Ok so I have a new item on my bucket list... to visit this room!!!

[@stonebay2111]

Best rig rundown by far

[@DKentization]

love the tip of the hat to...Burton, Reggie Young and Clarence White!

[@caleshtcincredibles]

As a country picker Steve has ALWAYS been at the top of my list for inspiration ! Great video and interview!

[@tedadlington1777]

I don't have words, what do you say? Every time I watch this it just amazes me. What a man

[@cumminsman4670]

WOW that B bender is SICK....Steve is the best....

[@darrelde8160]

Thank you SO MUCH for this John and PG. Probably the best RR I've seen yet. Had no Idea Steve Wariner was such an awesome person AND an absolute monster player!!!

[@harrypalmer7169]

This is what you get when love and passion of their craft meet.

[@joeldowdy404]

One of my guitar hero's!! Love Steve's music and playing.

[@danielbrown6961]

Simply fantastic. One of the best rundowns ever

[@Babillonia]

A great interview. Thanks Premier Guitar and Steve Wariner.

[@fatbeat251]

C.G.P. Certified Guitar Picker

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

One of six that Chet deemed to be such. What's awesome to me is how incredibly humble he comes across. I think when it all comes down to it we're all just a bunch of really enthusiastic nerds and he has that in spades and I mean it as the highest possible compliment. The dude is the real deal.

[@VonBluesman]

Great interview with a Legend. Since Steve mentioned James Burton several times, John I wish you would go to his home in Shreveport and interview him, it sure would make for some great stories and some cool looking guitars. Thanks. Merry Christmas.

[@fiddlefolk]

One of my all time favorite singers in the world and a bad ass guitar player! He helped change country music to be what the 90's were to country! Check out Life's Highway and so many more....

[@realgoodmind]

What a legend. Amazing to have 40+ min with him. ONe of the best rig rundowns ever.

[@TheThinker39]

This is one of my favorite Rig Rundowns! Steve is a fantastic player! Beautiful chords, beautiful everything! Thanks.

[@brandonray2139]

PG, you knocked it out of the park with this Rundown. Mr. Wariner is everything you hope your guitar hero is. Thank you for a great Christmas gift, John.

[@davidjessee7701]

I live in the same town in Kentucky as Steve's brother Terry... We are very good friends... I knew Terry's Uncle Jimmy also.. Great family... Sano

[@EricCPOP]

That was a great Chet impression! 😂😂

[@donaldgosling]

I didn't know who Steve was until I saw this video... I want to be adopted into this wonderful family ! fantastic !

[@grewejames1]

What a treat! Thanks!!!

[@papasmamas1]

I looooove the long rig rundowns of people who have really amazing guitars.

[@keflim6661]

I have loved Steve's music since the day I heard " By Now" . I learned all his songs and seen him live many times. Unbelievable talent and one of the nice guys. Really enjoyed this show.

[@sempercompellis]

seems like a real nice guy and a great player no doubt!!

[@tommaycock5459]

What a wonderful interview and rundown! Nice job John, and a great job recording this one. It was a treat to see Steve play these great guitars and hear his stories.

[@toastoftowne1076]

Thanks PG. thanks John. Such a nice guy, such a great player. My best Christmas gift this year. Wishing you’ll the best. Aloha

[@robbyag0ny]

This might be the best rig rundown I’ve ever watched. It really opened up my eyes to how cool Steve is!

[@southernflight1]

Steve Wariner is one of the nicest guys in music today. He has nothing to prove. He has won many music awards, yet his whole persona is humble and just good. I have always admired his guitar playing and singing. Great video Steve and John!!

[@HC_GUITAR]

What an awesome, humble and off the scale talented guitar player! Great rig rundown.

[@dyamariv3628]

Love seeing John doing these Rig Rundowns!!

[@poodleguiderpeyes7388]

wow, enjoying this very much!

[@stratonut]

best interview yet. thanks for the vid

[@jodyg5648]

Great show ! Thank you

[@MWallis2]

I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't familiar with this cat before watching this episode, but he's got a new fan. This has been my favourite episode so far. What a sweetheart, and a monster player. Could listen to him tell stories all day.

[@MDLAV8R]

Steve is awesome as usual and that signature Gretsch sounds and looks amazing. I still have his Secrets of a Hot Nashville Picker VHS tape from back in the day.

[@guitareveryone]

Boy that was truly cool. Steve is one of my guitar idols.

[@nikolaibarbarich7887]

Seems like all these pros are the most down to earth guys. Then you read the comments and realise pretty much all musicians are down to earth humble people. Rock on guys !

[@michaeleaster1815]

Fabulous! This is great stuff

[@jongauthier9289]

Awesome!! Steve is a fantastic player!! Good job on this one!!

[@Bamagolfandguitar]

I love players that stare down the interviewer while they rip off ridiculous shit 😂😂😂

[@StratTones]

This was such a wonderful video with an amazing man! Wow, I love the stories and just what a life Steve has lived🙌🙏💙

[@jeffboyd5299]

Gretsch guitars are so versatile. Great to see they are still experimenting.

[@dennisp3314]

Excellent Rundown John !

[@raynewbold5574]

Wonderful interview

Really enjoyed this Rig Rundown beautiful guitars and amps

[@buraktulbentci1787]

Great episode :) I love Steve Wariner

[@badkatrising3918]

So glad you put this on my radar

[@JackTheSkunk]

Steve....it's way past time for you to record a CD or 2 (or 12) with Vince Gill. Two of Nashville's finest talents....great singers, phenomenal pickers on one CD? I can only imagine the music they would produce.

[@eduardoprieto5267]

Tone master baby.

[@leftchicago]

Rally enjoyed this. What a nice guy.

[@CastleRockSprinklerService]

Steve seems like such a likable guy. So enjoy his playing.

[@WaRLoKWYATT]

This is one of my new favorites. That guy can rip!

[@kcsatchell5202]

Great Rundown...great player, great instruments...and I want John’s Shirt!

[@TomMarvan]

Enjoyed every microsecond of this video. Thank you, PG.

[@blackdotpatrick]

Best rundown ever.

[@DogDaze66]

Master player

[@simpsimpson5175]

I enjoyed this..Great gear..top playing

[@danielbarker3459]

Awesome. Would love more country guitarists on rig rundown.

[@donlaporte9322]

when the aliens come and want the best guitar player ever known to mankind. I will send them to Steve.

[@marknorris3769]

[@SiggyMe]

What a tasty amazing interview man all those guitars just killing it really thanks made my day!

[@sgmarshall3]

That's great tone, and I love his stories

[@rabbirelax]

Such a great player!

[@victorgreen2758]

Have always admired the pickin country sound. I honestly have never heard of Mr. Steve, but man this guy is a god on guitar. I really enjoyed this rundown. Makes me want to go sit on the curb and throw dirt in the street. I like when John does the rundowns. The others are good, but John has a certain air about him that makes me feel like I did when I was first learning. His enthusiasm, he always seems sincere. Great job.

[@michaelbutler2312]

as others have said, this is one of their best interviews. steve=cgp

[@doovie101]

John Bollinger should be a star. Great personality and good interviewer.

[@nigman2023]

all I can say is Wow!!!!! Excellent rundown

[@carlypearce1367]

Thanks for the likes and comments🎶 and how how long have you been my fans💕?
