      Ben Jammin' , how do you keep track of all those pedals :) Cool setup!

    • @BenSparaco
      @BenSparaco 4 месяца назад +6

      ⁠@@ChristoStromit’s not as many pedals as it seems haha. I was just turning on/off + recording some drones with the Hologram Chroma Console to make some cool synthy pads at the beginning of the jam. I was also tapping my delay which sends tempo to the Chroma. That’s probably the most pedal tapping I do ever lol

    This channel is really going to blow up, this is amazing watching Broadway instead of just hearing about it we now know what it is about!! Your format of discussing gigs, pay and how things work is so very important, and to disseminate the information like you do in a very valuable asset to a lot of people wanting to get into the industry! Plus the fact you actually play a lot of guitar as well, just makes this channel awesome and I am very glad I found you!!👍👍👍👍

    Thanks for the tour. The guitar solo by Ben Sparaco was a treat. I played along with him (mostly in G Phrygian). Love the ambience. Saw the Dead in Madison, Wisconsin way back in the day. The only concert I fell asleep in. Not a bad thing at all - the music was long and drifty - so was I. Best to ya.

    We live near Alpine Valley and for many years the Dead would come and play. The Deadheads would be camped everywhere. Fun times. Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube.

My wife gets tired of it after a day or 2 because she comes to my gigs on the weekends 😂😂😂 but after I'm in Nashville for a few days I get reinvigorated to get home & playing again!.... BTW anyone reading this that plans on going to Nashville you have to go to the Johnny Cash museum!

    This musician from California visited a few years ago and I saw so many good bands all in a row in one night, it was mind blowing. There was one girl singer that we saw in three different bands! Lots of guitar players with their travel cases and drummers with their snares and sticks hoofing it to their next gig! What a scene!! I had more questions than answers on how all of that worked! Now I know!

    I got a video recommended yesterday by the algorithm from a place called "Nudie's Honky Tonk". It was 12 hours long, that showed 3 different bands. Like you said on a previous video, seems they were playing 3-4 hours straight thru, with no pee breaks! And the guitar players were all great, but seemed to me, vocals were the weakest parts. All were like rock cover bands mostly. Hard work for sure. At the end of one's set, the girl singer looked at her phone and commented she had to go do another gig after they were done. I also noticed the club had a basic drum set, but each drummer had to bring their own cymbals. Pretty much how you said gigs worked there in the BNA!🤣

    Tim, you're right about this band. Like I said before, I watch a live stream from Broadway on YT & I've never heard or seen anything to do with the Grateful Dead. The amount of tourism in Nashville is crazy. I remember when it was a teeny tiny mid-size town. I bet the traffic is horrific now. How are they gonna fix that especially with so many people moving there? Oh, I also watch a live stream of Dee's Lounge. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Wish more bars would live stream. Years ago, I used to watch Tootsies but they took their web cam down. Keep doing what you're doing. Take care....

    In Texas, in Austin on 6th street - it used to be like this. But these days, it’s bands playing cover songs. Cover songs. That, or a DJ after 10pm. So many Austin songwriters are playing other cities nowadays. It’s a shame. I’ve spent a few nights on Broadway, even playing in downtown Nashville during NAMM. At least Nashville is still promoting original music. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Texas. 🙏

    I think that Dead band is at Acme. And there's like no one there lol. I recently lived in Nashville for two years, and there really are some awesome cover bands. The overall quality of the musicians is very high. I remember one little group was a guy on keyboards covering Justin Bieber songs, apparently that's a popular thing, and they just blew my mind. The musicianship, vocals, everything wsa full of spirit and on point. I rarely went to Broadway, but it was always good music.

      Your most likely talking about Printer's Alley which is located off Church Street between 3rd & 4th Avenue North, a couple blocks off Broadway. My guess would be that you were either at Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar or Skull's Rainbow Room. Just thought you might like to know for your return trip.
