- Ok guys, you asked for it! Heres my first crude attempt at a vlog and taking you guys along on my gig to Tempe with LANCO. Had a lot of fun recording this stuff, even thought the production quality is pretty low lol hang in there with me guys. I hope some of you find this interesting! Have a bunch more videos coming and so excited about it! Leave a comment telling me what you'd like to see more of!

Some advice from an old guy who spent over 30 years making his living with music, much of it on the road. #1.
dint drink a beer in the afternoon. It will make you tired, and throw you off your stride. Better to not drink at all, but never before a gig. Save it for after the show. Makes life more manageable.
Don’t worry at ALL about “low production values.” What that really means is “authenticity,” and that’s what we want. At the same time, it both shows why musicians would want to do this AND takes some of “glamour” out of it and shows us…it’s still work.
And you’re very good at your job. 😊
Thank you! I'm glad you guys are enjoying this type of style, I agree it keeps it more real. No B.S!
Such a cool experience. Thanks for taking us with you. Someday before they put me in the ground, I'll fly to a gig on a huge stage with a huge crowd in front of me.
Thanks for watching David, I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

@TimAvenMusic you will be at 100k in know time I can tell your a nice humble guy and that there will take you far Love ❤from Vermont😊😮❤😂
What makes these videos valuable is the raw, real qualities, we don't want glossy, over produced content, so keep up the great work, very interesting!
Tempe is a great city, the rocks in the background look like Papago park.
Used to love hiking in those hills.
You said a couple times in the video that you don’t know of people would like this. As someone who wanted to do what you do, I love it. Keep it up.
I'm glad you guys are enjoying it!
Done that 40 years ago only we traveled in vans or on a tour bus. Didn't get rich but had a great time and have some great memories. My band got back together about 5 years ago after 37 years and we still had the magic. We played 3-4 shows a year then covid hit then our piano player/ leader moved to Arizona. We might do a get together sometime in the future. Now I play guitar in the Church praise team with some great musicians.
Hey Tim! Man, this is so fun. I'm 45 now, but in my younger years I did plenty of travel/recording/performing (mostly as a bass guy or drummer), and this video actually made me MISS those days! Nowadays I'm a solo dad to two teen daughters, but I'm getting back into songwriting/recording and you're making me want to start thinking about ROUND 2 of the "being a musician" gig. Cheers!
Being a musician myself for almost 40 years (playing, teaching, and now owning a music school), I think your videos and channel are fantastic!! I think people can really benefit from great working musician like yourself. For what it's worth, personally, I like videos without much editing and "bells and whistles." Keep up the great work. I have a feeling your channel is going to explode!!
Tim, thanks for offering to take us with you on your journey. I think a lot hobby players who always dreamed of doing it for a living, like myself, will love this series.
Very organic content. And hey, everyone appreciates the no BS approach. Great channel!
I never get to see the real day inside the glamorous life of a professional musician. This is cool and pretty unique. Thanks, love it, please keep going.
It's not glamorous, but that's what's cool about it. We're all everyday normal people at the end of the day
@@HipsterNgariman I know, it was tongue-in-cheek.
Thanks great… we watch because it’s a vicarious thing… and you’re getting better at what you’re doing on these videos
Love the content Tim. Keep up the awesome info sharing, really enjoying,
Possibly another side of your video sharing you might not have thought of, is us old musicians who are giddy with being able to watch a young buck like yourself pay his dues, when we made our choice decades ago to *NOT* make the choice of “chasing our musical dreams”, and are glad of it, lol.
You are working your *ass* off, obviously, and the travel/hotels/ubers/buses/booze, etc can take a toll.
Luckily for us, you’ve got your head on straight, and are already experienced with some of the pitfalls.
Enjoy the journey bud, and HUGE thank you for taking us along for the ride!!
New to the channel and digging it! Between you and Lee Sklar I get to see two different stages of the same passion... very cool!
Love your content. As an amateur musician who only plays farmers markets and open mics, I find it really interesting to see what happens in the world of a professional musician.
Great videos, please keep them coming!
You are doing a great job. Thanks for taking the time to document and post your experiences.
You did a great video! Thank you for sharing your gigs with us, I look forward to more!
Great video - it is crazy all the work that goes into a show!
loved it. I don't mind the production roughness, it's the experience I love seeing. Hope it's not awkward to your bandmates. I know groups can get touchy about revealing soundchecks, sweats and tshirts, rough sounds and anything that's not shiny and chrome when it's all about the lime light. Us non-pro musicians love this though, seeing the life we dream about and will never live. Thanks man!
Thanks for taking us along to Tempe. Your guitar work is excellent. I appreciate the time and effort you are putting into your videos. Play on, Tim. 🎸
Bro please keep making these videos! long story short, I worked for ten years in finance and decided I loved my guitar more so music is my future. I love seeing someone with real experience share what it’s really like and not just the glamour shots. Lmao thank you!
Bravo and well done! Enjoy it while you’re still young as time marches on quickly. Think of the long game and plan accordingly as we all grow old rather quickly.
Thanks so much Tim you guitar tone rocks. Love it
Very cool video! I've been playing in cover bands for over 25 years. It's the waiting around to play that always gets me. Keep flicking those strings my friend!
This is sick, thank you!! I'd love to see more gigs
Great playing Tim. Keep the vids coming!
Hi Tim. I’m new to the channel and I’m really enjoying it. I’m actually a steel player sitting in my car waiting for my wife to get out of the doctors office before heading out to my gig.
I’ve been playing in local bands for many years. It’s been my dream to get to play and your level but that’s really not a problem at this stage of my life. I’m retired now, in my 60’s and still playing live gigs.
I’m a lucky man! Thank you for posting the life that I’ve always dreamed of living. I’m really enjoying it.
Your a genuine dude showing a rad life ! People are gonna stay to watch you. Kiko formally from Megadeth did these on the road vlogs a few years ago and seemed like he nailed the formula, they were so freakin cool to watch. Keep up the good work brother 🤘 🎸
Thank you for doing this!
Your like watching a good friend tell how his day went. You play fantastic by the way!
Man I dig what you are doing very raw and pure. No bullshit stuff
It’s exciting watching your channel grow!
Such a neat guy to give us a unique and authentic look into the band scene and music in general. Thank you Tim
Tim I love your genuine content! Your style is unique and an awesome way of sharing your work with the rest of the world. Keep it up brother!
Wow. Great video. Love the little details that you won't see on most polished to no end videos. Glad I found you channel.
So appreciate the purity of your content - please keep it real, just like you're doing
Great video Tim, thanks! When I was in a band it was 5 guys in a van pulling a Uhaul trailer. We loaded everything in/out ourselves and I drove the van. It was tough but those were some really good times. You have a sweet gig there man and it seems like you've earned it. Cheers
great video,very interesting stuff behind the music world scenes!
Keep the gig videos coming. The video quality is fine, editing is fine, Just be yourself young fella. We'll be watching. God Bless.
Really enjoyed. You and Uncle Larry are both great. Lovely souls and great guitarists!!
Thank you kindly!
Hey dude! Just found your channel and am loving your videos. I'm moving to Nashville in a month so these videos are perfect timing!
Hey Tim this is a great video and love the 'insider' commentary you're providing. I'd love to see some shots of what you're seeing too and you can narrate about the different rooms, views, stages, whatever. Keep it coming!
Alright! Tim, you've got a new fan in me. AND I dig your casio watch too.
I really like the inside story we get from you. Keepem coming.
It's definitely interesting seeing your "a day in the life" video. Keep doing what you're doing. You come across very down-to-earth and sincere. Obviously, others are enjoying your vids as much as I am because you've gained about 2K subscribers since I subscribed a few days ago.
Great job Tim! Subscribed. You're currently at 4.77K subs so, your channel's catching fire dude! Press on!
Appreciate all the content you are posting for us bro, very cool 😎 I really enjoyed the inside info on playing gigs in Nashville, I'm in Upstate SC but have family in Nashville and yes I'm a weekend warrior lead guitar player for a couple bands. I've often thought of going to Nashville to play just for fun
Great video man. Hope to see more in the future.
Hi Tim. I enjoy your videos a lot because you get what you see. You give a real insight into the music business. I hope you don’t change your presentation format. Over the years I have seen a few you tubers start off just like your self but they go commercial and forget about the initial supporters. I enjoy anything that you do and I wish you the best in your new venture.
Really enjoying ur videos man. Love the PRS guitars ❤
Good stuff. I dig the content you're putting out.
Absolutely love this. Thank you for your honesty. Love the background. 😂
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Amazing video. Great job great guitar 🎸 playing. #LANCO
Another great video, new subscriber....keep them coming! Cool and real! Awesome!
I am really enjoying the content of you videos. A day in the life of a professional musician is great.
You are doing what I wish I could have done. Keep up the good work, my friend!
.
Awesome at what you do buddy..skies the limit for you!
My name's Chandler, too! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
You're doing great. Really enjoy it. It's good for you too because it helps you with the self discipline you need for building your career on the road. I've seen a lot of careers implode from a lack of self discipline on the road. Lotta crazy temptations out there trying to derail an upcomer like you. Good chops too my man!
Hey Tim, I stumbled on your video man and it's pretty cool bud. Phoenix is my home town but I live in Australia so it was great to see my stomping grounds. And a cool behind the scenes look. Keep it up man. Good job.
As an old senior who has been playing guitar my entire life, but made the choice not to pursue a music career, your content is extremely enjoyable, keep it up.
Would like to know how you got so good at guitar!!
Great video! Loved hearing all about Nashville. Pay is what I expected. You are doing great if you can make enough money to live on by playing music. Keep playing bro! This video is great! Will be subscribing for more.
Loving the stuff dude, so much fun seeing your view on it all. Loads of love from Wigan in the U.K.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!!
I Did This For 10 Years In The 80`s LOL Love It Tim Great Stuff!
I sure am glad that I found your channel you are very interesting.I was very glad to see tht you are waaaayyy over 1000 now!!!
Awesome video man! It's fun being a fly on the wall and seeing behind the scenes! Maybe at some point you can show us your delay settings? I use a helix for my gigs & I'm struggling with getting the right mix for my lead.... and now you're over 3k subs congrats! Yes I agree with the masses.... phone video is great...just keep it real & be genuine...people crave that... nice work!
Great videos! Super interesting episode. More of these please. The tutorials are awesome too
I’m so glad you found it interesting! Thanks for watching, so much more to come. Teaching things as well!
Oh, wow! There are tutorials on your channel??? I’m old and tired and broken but I still play every day. I’ll check that out…
I absolutely love gig and tour vlogs and this video is awesome I love the behind the scenes stuff
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video! I follow Tom Bukovac also that you’ve referred to before. He’s definitely a talented and successful player,but I actually like your content a little better. It’s a good look at the hungry years! I’m 69. I played when I was young but life got in the way for about 35 years! I picked it back up last year and have fallen in love with it all over! Keep playing dude and keep the videos coming!😊🎸
Watching this brings back a ton of memories from my days on the road with The Eclipse Band out of Indy back in the 80s. The biggest show I ever played was at Edge Water Raceway outside of Cincy. We had over 25,000 people at that show. The stories I could tell about that experience would blow your mind. I was using Music Man amps in those days. I still have my HD 130 head from that show. I think it was 1984 or 85 cant really remember. The ahow was put on by The American Fed. Of Riders to raise money for orphanges around Cincinatti.
Very good video, enjoyed it. Thanks
Awesome video! Love Lanco! And you just made me pull the trigger on a Silver Sky SE. picking it up tonight 💪🏼
That is awesome! Thank you! I hope you love the new guitar, they are killer!!
It's great to see what it's like as a guitar player. Very interesting.
Tim, you are doing this in a perfect way to make us happy! Thank you.
Thanks for you efforts!!
Dope cool to watch it all.
Can't wait to see a day in the life on Broadway....hint hint😎😎🤘🤘
So excited to see your channel go cray cray this month:)))) over 3k sweeeeeeet!
Yay! Thank you!
I'll be playing a festival with you on memorial day weekend! Hope to run into you man! Love the videos!
good stuff, thx for uploading
This is great man! So cool to see what its really like ☀️😎😎
Glad you like it!
Interesting! Congrats on the 1,000 subs!😎👍
…but mow it is heading toward 6 thousand!😎👍
Hi Tim - re music playing in background: I did a vid of my band setting up & a Muddy Waters song was playing while we set up our gear. TH-cam sent me a notice that they detected it, but the copyright owners were fine w/the song playing in our vid, so no action would be taken by YT.
hope this helps, thanks ✌️😸
Very cool video dude. Congrats!
Really enjoyed watching this! I can SO identify (weekend/some traveling gigging musician heree)- and it was because you were so real and laid back, and cool. I had to laugh when you said something like "I'm no Tom Bukovac" LOL!!!! I'm a subscriber now : )
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the style and thanks for the sub!
The first PRS sounds mint!!! Saw that in one of your shorts last weekend.
Thank you David! I love that DGT!
Cool Videos. Enjoying your content.
Your videos are fascinating and you seem very open & honest about everything - really appreciate it. Also, just curious about your music history and background, how you've developed as a guitarist? Any recommendations for other beginning/intermediate guitarists? I haven't gone through all your videos yet, so I apologize if you've already mentioned in a video. Appreciate your feedback! Side note-great channel! Yes, always hit those likes and hit the Bell to 'all'! It's the least i (or anyone viewing your channel) can do. Thanks again! Abe
Great job. Thanks!
i see you have already have gotten a lot more subs , good work !
Such a good vlog showing your real life. In terms of copyright, if I were you I would play it on the safe side because you never know with these companies. I wish you well in your journey!
Keep the videos raw with quick edits really easy to watch and post fast! Great video....
great video, just keep doing what you are doing, don't change a thing!
Subbed up my man sounding good keep grinding thanks for bringing us along have always wondered how it was to be good enough to fly out play a show cool buddy thanks again
The video rules. VO is funny. You killin’ it son!
Fantastic mate. Instant sub. Best of luck to ya from NI. 😄
I'll watch behind the scenes vids like this all day long. In studio recording session vids are my favorite.
I'm glad you liked it! I will have some studio vids like this coming in the future!
Great channel. keep it up Tim. The voice over is OK don't let YT demonetize you. Especially now that your over 1K subs. nice job editing this one. You'll get better the more you do it. Pain in the ass and time consuming. Thanks for great content. T😎
Great video dude!
The green room is actually a green room! Now that is funny! 😁
