Make’n Music – Chicago
While in Chicago this week to see Robbie McIntosh play with John Mayer at the United Center in Chicago, I got up on a Saturday morning, got ready and called Make’n Music to see if it would be a good time to come by for a visit and Teddy (the owner) said it would be great. I took a cab from downtown to the shop and honestly all I could think when I opened the door was…..WOW! Without a doubt, Make’n Music is one of the top 3 pro shops I’ve ever seen. They have the GOOD stuff there! Tyler Guitars, Anderson Guitars, Suhr Guitars, Fuchs Amps and Duesenberg Guitars just to name a few. Teddy was kind enough to show me around the shop and while there, I spotted one guitar that I just had to play; the Copper Patina James Tyler guitar that is the first picture in the gallery below. What an awesome guitar. I played this guitar through a Fuchs Overdrive Supreme and it killed! I couldn’t tell if it was a great guitar or a great amp, but it was one of the most sophisticated overdriven tones I have ever heard and the guitar just played flawlessly. I really need (read want) to get another Tyler so bad!
John Mayer – Chicago
Many of you might know that in addition to running Jackson Ampworks I am also a corporate pilot. Well with that in mind, I got the call a few weeks ago that I would be flying to Chicago and spending April 9-12 there so some of our passengers could attend a sales convention that was being held there over the weekend. I didn’t think much of it since I’m used to getting calls about places I’ll be flying, but the week before the trip as I was lying in bed the thought crossed my mind, “I wonder if John Mayer would possibly be playing Chicago that weekend.” Using my iPhone, a quick check of johnmayer.com revealed that they were in fact playing at the United Center in Chicago on Saturday April 10, 2010 and it was to be the final night of the US Stadium tour for the Battle Studies album!
John Mayer – Dallas
Tuesday March 9, 2010 was a huge milestone for me both personally and professionally. Here is the back story. I have been a fan of John Mayer and Robbie McIntosh for years, and two years ago when John Mayer performed at the Coca Cola Starplex in Dallas I mentioned to my wife that I want my amps to be on that stage the next time I see them.
New beginnings.
Well after many months of work the new site is complete. We went through several iterations of it before we settled on the current design and I have to say that I could not be more pleased with it. Special thanks to our good friends at Church Media (most notably @ismaelburciaga and @yuristar) for their help and creativity! Very special thanks go out to @BrownAaronM for his incredible photos and videos used extensively throughout this site!
James Tyler Shop Tour
Well my week started with my dad and I flying to Lancaster, CA. (we’re both corporate pilots for a company in Dallas) to take some of our company’s sales guys to a meeting and a job site to review its progress. After spending a few hours in Lancaster, we packed up and flew to Bakersfield so the sales guys could go to another meeting and while there is dawned on me that since we would be spending the night in Van Nuys, CA, I should get in touch with Tyler Guitars and see if I could get a shop tour since I’m a huge fan of their guitars.
