Rob McNelley | Truetone Lounge | Part 1 of 2

Rob McNelley is one of the very few "first call" session guitarists in Nashville, TN. In part 1 of 2, Rob discusses with Truetone's Zac Childs his musical upbringing in Ohio, move to Nashville, working as a touring guitarist, and how he began to get called for studio work. McNelley recalls how his playing on Lady Antebellum's chart-topping hit, "Need You Now," single-handedly launched his recording career. Rob also shares how performing with his own band locally, and touring with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Bob Seger, helps to keep his musical ideas fresh and vital.

[@sharongibbons3701]

Became a fan when I saw you playing Like a Rock with The Silver Bullet Band, Bob said he hadn't played the song in 20 years or more because he didn't have a slide guitarist. A great choice you made of going on the road with Bob.

[@brian91145]

You guys have to have Tm Bukovac on!

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Geez, you'd have thought he could have bought a newer guitar along rather than that rough old Les Paul. :-)
