These are some of the most strangely relaxing videos. It's like a PBS show from an alternate universe where rock still mattered and the promise of the 60s was never quite extinguished. Just a couple of guys very, very slowly restoring Mike Bloomfield's guitar. (Powerful metaphor in its own right for never giving up on the music, I think.) I just woke up and my iPad was on the floor, my headphones were wrapped around my face. I had fallen asleep. I picked up the iPad and unlocked it: "Oh. Right."

NutritionalZero I was just thinking it’s like This Old House but with guitars. There are a lot of channels on youtube all about restoration and such. They are very relaxing as you said. Something about competent people fixing things and solving problems is something the world needs more of.

I've watched all these Bloomfield tele videos, just because I'm in awe that it was his tele. It's not right that he ain't still with us. Some people are destined to never get old and he was one of them. A tortured soul who gave the world so much and took so little in return. I hope wherever he is, he's at peace. I'm in my 20's, and this man still inspires generations and always will.

I had forgotten for a second that I was watching a short(ish) Stew Mac video and that I wasn't watching a full how too video... When the guitar showed up at the end finished without getting to see the in between steps I was really disappointed, and then I remembered, "Oh yeah, this was free and WAY longer than a regular Stew Mac video". Then I was grateful for what I did get to see... Thanks for sharing Dan!

Well he can literally say it’s the guitar that started his love of blues. To be able to work on a guitar like that and be able to have such an extensive look is an honor all these years later. You can still apply the information to your own work. He’s taking us on that journey with him.

My goodness this is one of the most fascinating youtube tutorials I have ever chanced upon. Beautiful careful accurate considered work. Who ever knew so much precision went in to an electric guitar lovely equipment, materials and technique knowledge and experience - it is a great watch. Those of us with no musical ability look on with great envy. How wonderful it must be to pick up a guitar play a recognised tune perfectly and entertain people - a great gift coupled with a lot of hours of work and practice. Here in UK some of my favourite players are Hank Marvin Chris Rea Jet Harris, John Barry, Duane Eddy and a whole host more . Superb films keep it going
