As a guy who’s been playing guitar now for 39 years, some of that time, professionally, I can’t tell you what a blast it is to be involved with creating the Strings Attached Tv show - a show that’s centered around a great bunch of guys, that are rapidly turning into a great cast of characters, that just happen to build custom guitars and basses for celebrities and working musicians- what more could a life long guitar player like myself, ask for?
This has been a learning process from the start, with Amazon and various other camera companies making regular deliveries to our office, dropping off cameras, lenses, lighting equipment, tripods, mobile camera rigs, audio components….the list goes on and on, and the further we get into this, the more we learn and the more equipment shows up on our doorstep. It’s been a lot of work and there’s been a huge learning curve, but our hope is that each episode is getting better, both with content and with the quality of production.
Along the way, I’ve had more than a couple of surreal moments with some of the celebrities that I’ve been able to “rub elbows” with - guys I used to see on MTV in the 80s and 90s, and those from before the days of video - back to the pages of Cream Magazine, or Guitar Player - back to the days of vinyl and cassettes, maybe even 8-tracks…..it’s been great fun, and I hope you all come along with us on this journey. Let’s see where we end up.
