    I LOVE THIS! I'd love to see more videos like this! It's so interesting to hear how guitar techs keep these instruments going and keep their artists happy. SO COOL! Great work Ben.

    we need more of these videos, behind the stage, with the crew going through measurements and tools etc.. this is like a whole series of videos right here with a different band featuring in every video..

    Ohhh I feel cheated!! Not even a glimpse of Avril. So cool to see her over that Limes disease thing and back on stage. The new mature sound is awesome. Was kinda hoping to hear that guitar on the big speakers or even thru the board at sound check.

    What an experience! God I can’t imagine being able to concentrate on that with everything around you. Id want to just sit and observe and if they had time to geek out on gear, go full on geek! Lol. Kudos to you for testing your adhd. I don’t have adhd and I’d be totally distracted lol.

    Nice BTS video. I would like to be a guitar tech for about a week! Then I couldn't take it anymore. I'm surprised they don't have a "be a guitar tech for a day" packages along with all the other stuff they sell on these tours.

    Can we suggest other bands that you can go - chat to about their instruments while you give them a once over before a gig? It’s a great format.

    I have a -90 PRS with absolutely horrendous condition original frets. They are all dented and flattened. Still, it plays nicely. Until it doesent, one day.

    It's funny to see how guitar nerds can talk guitar at the drop of a hat.
