Same, except been following him since the Byte The Bullet days...! ;) Then: Southgang, Marvelous 3, Floyd's Funk Revival...his career before getting famous was already extensive. Great dude, great video - thanks!
Butch may be an absolute BEAST on stage... but he very much is the most down to earth dude you'll meet. Also, he puts on the best show you'll ever see live with energy that doesn't stop at just him, but will infect every inch of the venue he's gracing. If he's playing with a full band within 150 miles of you, buy the ticket now. If its a venue of under 150 people, buy 3 and take friends. You won't be sorry.
Butch seems like such a good, laidback grown up. Everything I've seen of him is consistently that. Absurd talent on top of all that. Great rundown. Thanks.
this guy is my mirror in the usa.loved when he said learn to run before walking.ive said identical things when i moved to LA in the 90s..even the pet dogs can shred then.but the path of writing and melody is so much more rewarding..you start to feel way more..great stuff.and john is just awesome in his approach . and im now on a 335.gotta love the struggle makes you stronger
Great episode - Butch is really entertaining, and as with all his interviews JB always lets the guests shine. The man's a guitar encyclopaedia but he wears it very lightly, always makes it about the guests.
I had my first Guitar lesson from butch when i was fifteen at Strings and Things in Cartersville, Ga. then he moved off to LA and got famous, lol. Wish i could write some tunes with him now!
Thanks to everyone involved for putting the spotlight on Butch's rig. I've always loved the different tones he brings to his recordings, and it's nice to see what takes out with him. Just saw him recently in Chicago and it all sounded great.
What a great guy. Can’t say enough good things about Butch. And not to pile on (but I guess I am), but LOVE his work with August is Falling. 100% GOAT status.
Now that was a great interview…Butch is a ball a fire that’s burnin hot as hell. Damn he can play that thang like nobody’s Fukien business…thanks guy’s for doing what you all do.
Butch is such an amazing, awesome and nice guy. I got to see him several years ago during his Letters tour at the Exit/In in Nashville. After the show, he jumped off stage and took every photo and signed every autograph to whoever wanted one. After my friends and I got photos and signatures, we walked across the street to the Gold Rush to have a few drinks when one of my friends said, “Dude, we should invite him to hang with us.” Yeah right, I thought. But since it never hurts to ask, we turned around and asked him. Before answering, he simply got on his phone and asked (I’m assuming his tour manager) “what time do I need to be on the bus? 3? Okay.” “Yeah guys, let’s go!” I can proudly say I bought all of his drinks that night. Again, such an awesome guy. If anybody reading this is not familiar with his work, I highly recommend checking him out if you like beautifully written and catchy as hell songs.
@@jessemontagnino the best night! Butch is an absolute hero of mine, so the opportunity to spend even two seconds with him would have been awesome. Hanging with him for a couple of hours was surreal. Such a nice person, not to mention, an unbelievable musician.
@captaintrips8651 That sounds next level. He truly is an awesome musician. Perhaps one of the most underrated of our time. I was a Marvelous 3 fan... as in I had the Hey cd. Loved it. Listened to it a lot. Forgot about it after a few years. Vampires in love got into my head a few weeks ago. I looked up the band and learned all about Butch Walker. I quickly learned he's been responsible for nearly all the music I've listened to over the last two decades. I've been listening to all his solo stuff and watching videos like this one. His evolution as an artist is amazing. He inspires me to become such a better guitar player. I hope to run into him now that he lives in Nashville.
Great rundown Butch built my 31st guitar 2 weeks ago a 51 telecaster reissue great idea with the dimarzio twang kings pups going to have to check those out for that build they sound great again great rundown thanks.
Great musician! Marvelous 3 used to play in NC all the time so I saw them countless times and met/spoke with butch many times back then also. Super nice dude and was very nice to me despite me asking annoying teenager guitarist/songwriter type questions. Lol
Great rundown guys, fun to listen to unpretentious people enjoy music and gear, that was refreshing. And John, thanks for always being such a good host with comments like "structural damage to the building" love it! The next gig I play I'm going to give the sound guy a small 2x4, lol ---- Thanks guys, that was light and fun to watch.
Wow! This was great! Been a fan for almost 30 years now and had opportunities to se M3 and Butch solo. Incredible shows. The “band on a boat” in Philly was by far the most unique. Wonder if Butch remembers that one?
i have never noticed too much of a difference if i use a budget or a boutique kind of booster or distortion peda in front of an already distorted amp, but that changes a lot if you reduce the gain and the pedals own sound becomes more present 😎😎
i am not a guitarist and i never had that "magic guitar" that i'll be crying about (thanks God), but i can say this => EVERY GUITARIST wants to be interviewed by John....he brings FUN to Every Guitarist's Face, bcs he's a REAL CAT and he Speaks CAT :) maybe, JUST MAYBE, one day he will interview ME hahahaha...it will be NICE, even tough I AM NOT a guitarist :), but i can play few chords here and there :) Thanks John for ALL FUN Interviews...Best Wishes...Always )
I know he likes to downplay his "shred" days, but even back then, his playing had a certain character that set him apart. Yeah, it was flashy, but the phrasing was great and never came across as ostentatious. It would be fun to see him revisit that style some day.
These are the videos I dislike. “You know…(insert massive riff)” “It’s just like…(insert massive riff)”. FINISH YOUR DAMN SENTENCE WITHOUT IRRELEVANT CHOPS.
So cool to see him on here! I got the opportunity to shoot some video for him a while back- such an incredible show! ruclips.net/video/0tv2d8oU40w/видео.html
Its been a year and you still can't get over the fact that it happened LOL The only pathetic thing is streaming services and venues taking abysmally large cuts so that touring bands who lost money in the last 2 years can't make a living anymore
Incredible isn't it? Wasn't it the job of the artist to hold up a mirror to society? So few who have actually been politically relevant over the last three years.

Really love that Butch made it on Rig Rundown. Been a huge fan of his work since August is Falling.
that band got me through some tough times.
Same, except been following him since the Byte The Bullet days...! ;) Then: Southgang, Marvelous 3, Floyd's Funk Revival...his career before getting famous was already extensive. Great dude, great video - thanks!
My wife and I were the Boise couple in the original August is Falling video
AIF rips!! Slept on for sure 😴
August Is Falling saved my life!!!
Besides having an incredible studio, Butch just seems to love all things music and his passion is absolutely infectious. Seems like a great dude.

I don't think I've ever seen a more enthusiastic participant on Rig Rundown. Which was frickin' awesome. Thanks.
Great episode - Butch is really entertaining, and as with all his interviews JB always lets the guests shine. The man's a guitar encyclopaedia but he wears it very lightly, always makes it about the guests.
This has to be one of the best rundown episodes ever. Very well done
This guys work on august is falling is absolutely excellent, he’s the kind of legend an equally legendary band like that deserves
:'(

This guy is my hero. He's a musicians musician and can just rock your socks off💥
Saw this guy play with August is Falling at Woodstock, epic
never came across this fella, he is truly a blast !!!!
This man's vibes are immaculate.
Maybe the most educational rig rundown ever!
9:20 I love how you can hear the strings ringing above the nut in between his riffing. That kind of subtle thing makes a guitar sound unique
the most underrated and not nearly known as well as he should be musician of all time
man, I love this show.
Great job John, it's good to discover players I've never heard of and their music.
What a great guy. Can’t say enough good things about Butch. And not to pile on (but I guess I am), but LOVE his work with August is Falling. 100% GOAT status.
Really enjoyed this rundown. Butch seems like a really nice guy, great storyteller, and awesome player. Thanks, John for another excellent rundown.
This was great! Love the rig rundowns. Always a fan of Butch, I still love Freak of the week
Now that was a great interview…Butch is a ball a fire that’s burnin hot as hell. Damn he can play that thang like nobody’s Fukien business…thanks guy’s for doing what you all do.
What a cool guy! what cool gear! what a great rundown!! Thanks John!!
Really enjoyed this episode. Happy Holidays!

Incredible tones
Great rundown Butch built my 31st guitar 2 weeks ago a 51 telecaster reissue great idea with the dimarzio twang
kings pups going to have to check those out for that build they sound great again great rundown thanks.
DIG IT!!!
Great musician! Marvelous 3 used to play in NC all the time so I saw them countless times and met/spoke with butch many times back then also. Super nice dude and was very nice to me despite me asking annoying teenager guitarist/songwriter type questions. Lol
That 60s Tele Custom is sick.
Always love these gear shows , John's seems like a very nice genuine guy also

Love Butch.
Ha! I love Butch sneaking in the Matthias Jabs shout out.
First time I heard butch was M3’s cover of reelin in the years and I’ve been a fan ever since dude has tone
Pure joy!
Marvelous 3 should have been as big as Aerosmith… love that Butch is playing an Explorer, I have a 2021 and it’s a blast to play!
Mad Respect for Butch. 🤙🤙
Such a killer player and awesome guy
i have never noticed too much of a difference if i use a budget or a boutique kind of booster or distortion peda in front of an already distorted amp, but that changes a lot if you reduce the gain and the pedals own sound becomes more present 😎😎
The curse of being Butch Walker is to be more talented than any of the artists you work with.
@Butch Walker love you man!
i am not a guitarist and i never had that "magic guitar" that i'll be crying about (thanks God), but i can say this => EVERY GUITARIST wants to be interviewed by John....he brings FUN to Every Guitarist's Face, bcs he's a REAL CAT and he Speaks CAT :) maybe, JUST MAYBE, one day he will interview ME hahahaha...it will be NICE, even tough I AM NOT a guitarist :), but i can play few chords here and there :) Thanks John for ALL FUN Interviews...Best Wishes...Always )
The best description of BW live is "academy award winning facial expressions". He is my all time favorite artist.
The light in the banjo head was to keep it from rotting out.
Great rig…just let Butch go…love it
Awesome!
Well done. Great tones. Thanks John and Butch !
Love Butch ❤
just wow.
Ronnie's Rock Cafe lives forever!!!! Byte The Bullett!!!
I don't know this guy.... but seems like he could be Dana Carvey's lost brother.
we ❤ butch
That Explorer give me MAJOR Early Van Halen
I know he likes to downplay his "shred" days, but even back then, his playing had a certain character that set him apart. Yeah, it was flashy, but the phrasing was great and never came across as ostentatious.
It would be fun to see him revisit that style some day.
1926 banjolin! Wow that's 102 years old! 🤔
It all makes sense.... John Bohlinger is from the future!
Came here for this- such a funny swing and a miss. John aint here to do math!
@@andycunningham3303 we all love John, he's the best interviewer on rig rundown ✌️
I'm sorry I have no idea who he is, but I'll have to find out now. I love his mindset, I love his gear and I love his way of thinking. 😎
Listen to the marvelous 3 albums. Great stuff
so fun to watch these two. great interview
Butch he is a really good guitar player
Rig Rundowns Rule
YOU Rule!
You’ll never see Zac Bagans and Butch Walker in the same room!
Man that's gotta be who I'm thinking of.Coudnt remember his name.
Rig rundown with «Pantera», now!
Wow!😳🎸😳🎸
Explorers Fly!
Love it Milk it ... Super Fun Guy from a Guy who Hates Baseball Bat Tele's .
isnt john just the most awesome host
Vert tasteful sounds
50 vintage guitars?... Gah-lee...
What I like most about his tone is that everything he uses was given to him 😂😂😂😂
Butch is one of the BEST to ever do it! 💯 I just wish he would have kept his politics to himself 🤦♂️
Super Slinkies are .9s I believe
Power Slinkies are .11s
@Butch Walker I use them myself 😀 Great rundown. I'm a big JHS fan myself. That RR makes me jealous.
These are the videos I dislike. “You know…(insert massive riff)” “It’s just like…(insert massive riff)”. FINISH YOUR DAMN SENTENCE WITHOUT IRRELEVANT CHOPS.

He talks about his custom shop tele the same way I talk about a $100 Amazon guitar
It's pathetically ignorant of touring bands to make excuses for the Scamdemic.
Its been a year and you still can't get over the fact that it happened LOL
The only pathetic thing is streaming services and venues taking abysmally large cuts so that touring bands who lost money in the last 2 years can't make a living anymore
This is guitar and gear land.
Incredible isn't it? Wasn't it the job of the artist to hold up a mirror to society? So few who have actually been politically relevant over the last three years.
@@ileutur6863 "streaming services and venues" ...
that mafia con-yay has been talking about lol 😆 😂 🤣
The 5 speed!😂😂😂😂😂😂
