The country-music legend details three of his prized acoustics.
A decade ago, Vince Gill and Paul Franklin recorded Bakersfield, a tribute to the raw-boned country music that came out of the rough-and-rowdy clubs patronized by oil-field hands and agricultural workers in the ’50s and early ’60s-packed with songs by Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. And we visited with them for a Rig Rundown then.
Now, just for the good times, these two legends of modern country music-the real deal kind-have recorded Sweet Memories: The Music of Ray Price & The Cherokee Cowboys. Price was known for his warm, baritone approach to melody, which is a perfect springboard for Gill’s and Franklin’s nuanced approaches to their own instruments.
If you don’t know Gill’s work, it’s about time you got informed. He has won more CMA Awards than any performer in history, plus 21 Grammys. He’s also sold more than 21-million albums and is currently in the Eagles, where his sweet tenor voice and skill with harmonies makes him a perfect match. (You can also hear Gill talk about his work on Cory Wong’s Wong Notes podcast, from November 2020.)
Although Franklin spends his time over the pedal steel, this artist is no slouch. He’s played on more than 500 albums, has been named Best Steel Guitarist by the Academy of Country Music multiple times, and is in the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame and the Musician’s Hall of Fame. Franklin is the most nominated artist in CMA history. He is also a member of Grammy-winning outfit the Time Jumpers.
Along with the PG video team, I met them at Gill’s Nashville studio, where they recorded Sweet Memories. The goal: to get a close-up look at Franklin’s steel rig and some of the incredible acoustic guitars Gill used on this album.

Vince has to be one of the nicest human beings alive. Being a great musician is just a bonus.

@mikelistman5263 8 месяцев назад

I can't stop listening to him talk about guitars, strings, and picks.

@neightmorris 10 месяцев назад

Man if Vince had a podcast I’d listen all day

@joelhughes6272 10 месяцев назад

I appreciate so many guitar players but there is something so different & special about Vince Gill. He is so humble, soft hearted and his love and joy for the guitar is untouchable....

@drew004jc 10 месяцев назад

Vince Gill is a national treasure.......and I'm a punk/metal guy saying that

@sixslinger9951 10 месяцев назад

Vince Gill has to be one of the nicest entertainers around. He seems like a very gentle and kind soul. Plus, he flat out can play and sing like no other.

@joebowers3636 10 месяцев назад

I ran into him at Rudy’s Guitars in NYC in 2018. Had to take the chance to introduce myself and tell him I was a fan. He acted like he had all the time in the world and chatted with me. Very classy, kind guy.

@TWC6724 10 месяцев назад

Gosh, those tones melt my ears. Awesome

@GNJ1118 10 месяцев назад

Love Vince's playing. That last bit on the 00 was sweet as can be.

@commentking1591 10 месяцев назад

Yup. That's the one. The 12 fret.

@druchumley4571 10 месяцев назад

Those 12 fret guitars always sound the best.

@glennfoster7318 10 месяцев назад

I watched this gentlemen play at the Maui arts and cultural center 29 years ago and man he inspired my playing so much. Vince is an absolute class act, that plays and sings from his heart. Gods anointed him definitely ❤

@kevinjennings962 10 месяцев назад

I could listen to Vince all day. Saw him in concert many years ago and he played what must’ve been a 10 minute solo at the end of Nothing Like a Woman that just kept getting better and better. I was in hog heaven. It was before smart phones and I’d give anything to have been able to record it. Best solo I’ve ever heard in my life. Those guitars are in worthy hands.

@gtr1952 10 месяцев назад

Boy, I'm a big sunburst/shade top fan, those Martins are the 'holy grail' of Martins for me! I met a guy in a bar in PA one time and he told me a story about naming them. He said they made 10 prototypes of the square shoulder flat top. They decided to use #8. One would be Mahogany and Two Rosewood. That's how they named D18 and D28. Well, the numbers added up and it made sense at the time. LOL What an awesome collection, and an awesome person Vince is!! Thanks much guys!! --gary

@saijunmak5792 10 месяцев назад

Such a cool clip. That D28 sounded huge and just raaaang out.... That 00 has just about the best parlor tone I've ever heard on a clip 😮

@commentking1591 10 месяцев назад

Completely unsurpassed tone quality. Just incredible overtones.

@cziprick 10 месяцев назад

Vince Gill! One of my favourite Entertainers of all time.

@user-ex5vq5tb2w 10 месяцев назад

He is the best country music singer in the world

@twopoms 10 месяцев назад

This is a great clip. Vince is obviously a top player and vocalist. Top songwriter and genuinely nice person. Despite all his talent and success he still keeps it real. Long may he prevail. I may not have the money and collection Vince has but I can get the same strings at least. He shares some useful information without being patronising or condescending. I also appreciate that he is a loyal supporter and customer of goods and services and values those relationships. A proper stand up guy!

@jimbobshambles 10 месяцев назад

I’ve always been a Vince fan. Great guitar player.

@adamturner8732 10 месяцев назад

What a great guitar and a great man and player

@paulsharkey6673 10 месяцев назад

I used to be a pick master until one day I couldn't find a pick. That ran into the next day and the next day. I haven't used a pick for over a decade. I prefer the warmth from the flesh. It just changes the whole game.

@Snarkapotamus 10 месяцев назад

I keep nails on my picking hand on everything but my thumb. The way I see it is the bass end played by the thumb shouldn't ring, but the treble end should...

@NickBishop 10 месяцев назад

I use a blue chip pick or a thumb pick or nothing usually nowadays. I really enjoy the metal banjo thumb picks, and will use it to flip between flat picking and finger picking. I had a similar thing where I was away and didnt bring anything with me but the one thumbpick and just didnt really go back

@user-qn6dn1ht4j 6 месяцев назад

Was never a flat picker, I did use finger pics for thirty years, now just fingers,

@GK-vj9dz Месяц назад

wow. after decades of playing with the rounded edge of picks (and thinking it was inherently wrong), it's nice to hear that someone as accomplished as vince does the same thing. it allows me--personally--to get a better grip, and the pick to string distance is more suited to the way i play. and that sb d18 is gorgeous. it is puzzling why martin didn't do more of those finishes way back when.

@davidbrennan3613 10 месяцев назад

Vince is brilliant and he doing a great job performing with the eagles

@The_YouTube_Critic 9 месяцев назад

I could listen to him play and talk for hours.

@ultimatebasses 10 месяцев назад

Those 30's Martin guitars really belong with a stellar talent like Vince Gill so we can experience the beautiful tone they have and not stuck in a collector's glass display case. Mind you, those guitars have become incredible investment pieces.

@joeriffanucci 10 месяцев назад

Vince is a treasure(with lots of treasures) thank you so much!

@mikegallagher4388 10 месяцев назад

@rod9525 10 месяцев назад

I wish, just one day in my life, I could play like Vince Gill.

@tdz69 10 месяцев назад

First time I saw VG was in a small local venue. I was raised on rock and blues but have loved country as well for a long long time. Vince, hands down, was one of the BEST shows I have been to in my entire life. It was a total experience. He was generous with the audience and interacted and told stories behind his songs and also some humorous tales from the road. But he and his band were beyond incredible. They sounded BETTER than the recordings. As a musician I was in awe of how tight and polished they were. I hope to get the chance to see him again and see him on his own. If you haven’t and get the chance, you won’t regret it.

@snapfinger1 10 месяцев назад

Vince might’ve given up his bad habits & his ‘67 Red Corvette but you have to draw the line with your pre war Martin’s.

@weevilsnitz 10 месяцев назад

omg the Spinal Tap reference from Vince, beautiful

@allenhayesmusic 10 месяцев назад

Wow! So amazing!

@anthonyoresteen4767 9 месяцев назад

Fantastic! I love Vince & those guitars. For the record those 30's Martins do have a truss rod in the necks. There is a steel T-rod (changed to a square rod in 1967) in the neck to keep them straight. It is just not adjustable. Martin started putting ADJUSTABLE truss rods in their necks in 1985. The adjustment is done at the heel of the neck, accessed through the sound hole.

@christianboddum8783 10 месяцев назад

Jeff becks harmonics sounded so strong because he used his fingers, it was quite the revelation when i tried it! I can't play like Knopfler but it sure sounds more correct when I ditch the pick for Sultans...

@johnl.6930 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for this! Vince dispenses beautiful music and information effortlessly. He’s a gem!✌️❤️

@alansimpson8962 10 месяцев назад

@richardgrier8968 10 месяцев назад

@NickBishop 10 месяцев назад

I use those same d'addario xs strings on my old dreadnaught and archtops and they are incredible. Also not usually a fan of coated strings, but these ones don't really feel like coated strings. Nice to see someone I look up to like him using a similar setup like that.

@richardgrier8968 10 месяцев назад

Me too. I kept a set of mediums on my Taylor 710 for about 4 years and they sounded great.

@davidmahoherrezuelo 10 месяцев назад

@user-yq8os2dn2h 10 месяцев назад

The guitars are amazing but it's a monster player showcasing thems....😊

I think it was Chet Atkins, who once said that it takes at least 20 years for guitar to figure out that it’s not a tree anymore.

@thunderbugcreative7778 6 месяцев назад

@michaelmullins1290 10 месяцев назад

Any thing Vince and his guitars. I'm watching. A friend of mine has a 28 shaded top. I'm thinking around 50's. It had a smell he couldn't get out. He traded it to a Gibson snakehead mandolin.

Well, I guess if somebody is going to hog pre-war Martin's, Vince is the best guy for it. You know they will get the best handling and storage.

I can listen to Vince play rubberbands on a cigar box guitar .

@simon-oy6um 10 месяцев назад

I like dunlop 88's as a pick you can play it soft or give it a twist and sharpen up the sound 😊

@sniffableandirresistble 9 месяцев назад

We love you Vince, we are here because we care, but also we are concerned, about why you need so many guitars ... lol 😂

After buying and selling around 25 Martins over the years I ended up with a 25 year old D35.

@richardmorton2744 10 месяцев назад

I have one just like this

@christopherw3221 10 месяцев назад

I remember Vince saying that all his acoustics have been farted in the sound hole to give it that extra sweet tone, something he's been doing since the 80s

@RadioFreeJoe Месяц назад

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to give all mine the Vince Gill spice.

@alanpecherer5705 10 месяцев назад

Geez, that first D-18 is a cannon.

@leifcoburn 10 месяцев назад

It takes wood 90 years to accept that it is now a guitar and not a tree. The tension in the curves and joints settle down and allow the guitar to ring.

@ecman1986 4 месяца назад

As an FYI, actually, they do have truss rods. :)

@billdedrick1914 7 месяцев назад

Vince was wrong when he stated the XS have less tension than non coated D'Addarios.. They in fact have less tension (EJ17 186lb vs XS 13's 180lb)..Also the host stated these pre war Martin's did not have a truss rod.. Wrong...They have a reinforcing rod but they were not adjustable.
