Work/Shop: LeVan's Guitar Services Workshop x D'Addario

[@emilybalcerak7861]

It's always inspiring to see someone so knowledgeable willing to pass their secrets on to the next

John is great. Super humble guy and super friendly. The first thing I hired him for was a fret replacement. He now does all my guitar work. He’s also very good at explaining what he wants to do but runs it by you first without any surprises. There’s a lot of people, many well known, that he has done work for but he doesn’t brag and really doesn’t talk about them, he’s there to serve your needs. Great video John. What a career you’ve had!

We're so glad you've been able to go to him! One of the best!

I was self-taught when I had my guitar biz and you are bang on when you note that learning ow to do proper repairs first is the way to start. Doing a lot of experimentation was vital too and working on upgrades. Once I started designing and building my own guitars, I had the conidence to be successful at it, My preferred brand of strings is also D'Addario--I've been playing guitar for 59 years and it's the only brand I use after trying all the others.

Love that John is willing to pass his knowledge on to others

[@daddarioandco]

That's the sign of a great teacher!

[@swervature]

Very cool. I love that he's paying it forward with the knowledge he has. Good call, D'Addario =)

[@daddarioandco]

We love that, too!

Thank you! I love teaching. Working with companies like D'addario & Taylor Guitars has been a great experience. Cudos to Andy Pitcher and his crew for all their hard work and making this experience so much fun!

[@daddarioandco]

John, it was an absolute pleasure!

[@MatthewPeskay]

He even sounds a bit like Bob Taylor - great to hear this story and even more about Bob's legacy and the impact he'll continue to have on guitar making forever.

[@daddarioandco]

Thanks for tuning in!

Nursing rule for learning: 1. Watch it being done. 2. Do it yourself. 3. Teach it.

Nice video. What is he doing with the cello?

[@scribemike]

So, we're just gonna blow past that "Home of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest" shit, then? Nothing to see here.....

Hard to hear audio AND THEN the distracting music. Nice video after I pushed the mute button and just used the closed caption.
