The Greatest Guitar Festival on Earth

Jimmy seems like a really sweet dude, so cool when he said Matthew's keeping vintage guitars alive and he certainly is.

We need that part 2!!! Thanks again Matt for allowing me the opportunity to hold the camera and play some of the guitars at jimmys booth for the channel!!!

The sheer quantity of amazing vintage instruments under one roof... Bet you enjoyed that day thoroughly. Fantastic video. One of your best.

‘Take a look at that gunk”….. “That’s what you want”. I attended this festival about 8 years ago. It’s truly an amazing experience. I love the fact that the guitar heroes playing on stage are walking around the event just like everyone else. I met Andy Timmons, Greg Koch and Johnny A. Highly recommend going. A true walk in the clouds.

When he posts it’s a good day

That ‘54 strat, Esquire, and p bass is a dream line up. A mortgage sitting on that table.

When I was a kid there were lots of old Gibsons and Fenders in every pawnshop, the good ol’ days… Nowadays, vintage means 30 year old Ibanez bolt-ons! Boy, I’d love to stroll around this gathering for a few hours, too much fun!

Wow. Jimmy is such a nice guy. Humble and so straight from the heart. Love this man. Great guitars. Goosebumps

I for one would love to see a part two...and a part three.

Thank you for taking us along,Matt!! This is just fantastic!!

Thank you Matthew! I was honored to have you at the festival! Looking forward to next year! 🤘

That ‘44 J-45 sounded amazing even through my phone speakers. Wow ! Awesome video. Thanks

I had a great conversation with Jimmy Wallace by phone about a month ago- truly a pleasure and ended up purchasing the guitar we spoke about. It’s wonderful to speak with a true historian . More than just selling- it’s all about the story ! Thank you for taking the time and the Custom is getting well used !

Matthew, I can’t express how much I enjoyed watching you going through the Dallas show. I’ve wanted to attend for years, and seeing you walk through and play some great vintage guitars make it seem even more enticing. I appreciate your solid playing, and think that you’re one of the nicest young players around. Keep doing a great job bringing us quality content.

Man not only your love for vintage guitar shows but your playing also has the old spirit, guitar playing these days have become too refined and pretty, you have got that old thing going on that started it all .. super cool

Love this kind of cntent Matthew.. can watch 20 more episodes like this.. history and stories of days long ago..

Make a part 2. I'm just one person, but I'll not just watch it, I'll click the like button and maybe even comment.

Just got my grey Matthew Scott t-shirt in the mail! I love it, keep on rockin Matt

Yes, Part 2, please. I started watching this with the intent of having it play on the side of my monitor as i did other work. Within seconds, i saw the spectacularly beautiful wear, aging, and checking on those guitars and i had to stop, put the play to full screen and check to make sure i was watching in full resolution. Gorgeous. This is what i would point to when people (idiots) ask why anyone would buy a relic'd guitar. They just have more character than pristine poly-coated guitars. Whether that character is historical or fabricated, it still exists visually. When i go to museums and look at paintings, i don't stand back and just take a wide view. I get very close, because the detail and relief—the layers and cracks and brush strokes—make painting beautiful. That third dimension. Depth. The difference between a Caravaggio and a postcard.

Mathew is a killer guitar player, and the perfect guy to demo vintage instuments as he seems to know how to get the best from them
