MUSIC, GEAR & GOOD TASTE
Nashville nightlife / Venue guide
Start at Robert's Western World for country music, The Stage for dancing, or Acme Feed & Seed for a choice of places to sit and talk.“Nashville continues to be one of the most active cities on our casual dating platform. There's now doubt that cold approaching at these bars will yield great results for single men.”Jodi Bando, founder of fucklocal.com
Read the full guide →The Orange Crush 35RT is my pick for players who want simple controls, built-in drive, and an effects loop. Check its low-volume feel with your guitar before buying it for a small room.
Guitar gear
The BOSS TU-3 is my first pick for a working pedalboard. Choose the Peterson StroboClip HDC for fine tuning without a cable, or the Snark ST-8 for a simple clip-on.
The BOSS RC-5 gives most players the best room to grow, with saved loops and drum patterns. Pick the TC Electronic Ditto for bare-bones practice, or the EHX 720 for a separate stop switch.
The BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver is my first pick for a broad range of drive sounds. Choose the Ibanez TS9 for a focused mid push, or the EHX Soul Food for low-gain boost duties.
Start with a guitar in tune, an amp you like, and one sound worth chasing. Our guides cover the small choices that help: a clear note, a tight loop, and just enough grit.
