I'm not much of a religious guy, but the "Mother Church of Country Music" is definitely hallowed ground and a treasure, not just for the US, but for the entire world. Thanks for the tour and history lesson of this spectacular place.
Thank you Mark for visiting the Ryman !!! The few times I have been in there, I feel like I’m on holy ground!!! I love country music and the rock music I grew up on !!
So cool seeing my pops playing his snare in the background on the Opry stage. Spent 30 years as a drummer/announcer there. Between him and my Granny Tootsie I got some great history in my family.
Drove past it back in '72 when my brother and I were touring Nashville studios to hear MCI and JBL studio equipment prior to building a recording studio in Tallahassee, FL.
I took the Ryman tour (whichever one takes you backstage in the dressing room area and all that stuff) when I was in Nashville a couple of years ago and loved it. Great video on one of the nation's most important landmarks!
NEVER FORGET: Bill Monroe was taught by a Black fiddler named Arnold Shultz. Look it up! We like to refer to Bill as the father of bluegrass, but even his inspiration comes from Black American Music.
This is right on Mark...Hell yeah! Been to the Station Inn right down the street? Check it out Mark..Everytime i go to visit my sister in Nashville its THE STATION INN!!
I got the chance to see the Opry a year before the new one opened. Saw Tamm Wynette, George Jones, Patsy Sledd, Penny DeHaven and others.Grandpa Jones wife Ramona took us on stage during a tour that afternoon.
Cool show Mark. I saw George Jones, James Brown (J. J. Walker warmed up), David Gray and Punch Brothers with Madison Cunningham there.... All great shows.
This and the episode at Carter Vintage Guitars are both excellent. I think it would be great if you went to Memphis and did an episode at Sun Studio (perhaps some of the other studios) and The Levitt Shell (perhaps some other live music venues).
Outstanding video. This is much of a public service as ‘entertainment’....esp these days. Learn actual history so to improve...not remain ingnorant...only to be doomed to repeat and destroy...
I totally agree. There have been so many significant venues that have been destroyed over the years. I really think that someone should form an organization that specifically works to save historic music/performance venues. There are local groups that will step up in their own community, but there needs to be something on the national level other than just the National Registry of Historic Places (which has very specific requirements that many music/performance venues don’t meet).
Good to see Gibson touching base with it's acoustic roots. The Lloyd Loar legacy is one of the cornerstones, and it shouldn't be lost to the Les Paul/ES popularity.
Mark, I always loved your videos, nevertheless if it's about the manufacturing of Gibson guitars or - especially - the history of them ... keep on like that 👍
hi gibson i would like to know if you could give me an electric guitar les paul is that as I saw in one of his videos that they gave one to a TH-camr named martyn the point is if you can give it to me please
Agreed, but The Ryman Auditorium actually is ICONIC. Perhaps even more so than Gibson, but both are about the same age and experienced their “Golden Eras” around the same time.
Apparently you missed the episode a few weeks ago that Mark did at Carter Vintage Guitars. That one has a Fender Strat in it and some other non Gibson instruments. As far as your comment about the number of Fenders vs Gibsons to grace The Ryman stage I’m not so sure about that either. No doubt there have been a large number of Fender Telecasters and basses on that stage which I think would give Fender the edge in electric guitars. However, Gibson acoustics (including mandolins and banjos) still probably top Fender in numbers especially when you take into consideration the decades that Gibson instruments were being used on that stage before Fender guitars ever existed. I’m a Fender electric player with a strong country music background, but I own and love Gibson acoustic instruments (especially mandolins) just as much as my Fender electrics.
I love what Gibson are trying to do with these. Just promoting icons and vibes unconnected to the brand. Nicely done mark et all
Thanks for watching!
Our favorite spot to film Rig Rundowns!

Nice piece! Thank you!
Great video Gibson
STILL, the best indoor venue I've been too! Love that place. Miss that place. 😢
Thanks Gibson and Markj. Love my LP Junior with the P90.
Drove past it back in '72 when my brother and I were touring Nashville studios to hear MCI and JBL studio equipment prior to building a recording studio in Tallahassee, FL.
..... thanks for the great impressions.
This series is so good. Thank you Gibson for having the guts of going this route with how you celebrate the music of America-love it!
Thanks Mark, we loved this!🎧❤️🙏🏻
Great as always Mark.Norms' isn't the same without you but opportunity only knocks once.
Awesome :) Thnx (def. one of my bucketlist "gotta visit" places)

Magic Place! We love Nashville!

Such a good series... Props to Gibson. Really enjoying your stuff lately 👌👍
Nashville is such a great place music all over
Got to play on that stage one time. What a great memory.
When out touring with a major label act I did a sold out show in that wonderful place! Memories...

making my first trip to the Ryman in a few weeks--will see Charley Crockett at the Ryman with Kashus Culpepper opening

Got to go to that place before I kick off.
If only Jim Denny knew how big of a star Elvis would become shortly after appearing on the Opry…..
I wonder what he thought after the fact?
Hi every one, can someone please tell me what was the beautifull Gibson that George Hamilton is playing at 5'05 . Thanks
LG 3/4
Let's scratch one off for these nice people ... and a one and a two .....
Sean William Scott is the curator of the Ryman?

mark "kermit" agnesi 🐸
the only problem nashville is a hole folks like all big cities can be dangrous
I think we use the word "iconic" way to often.
Agreed, but The Ryman Auditorium actually is ICONIC. Perhaps even more so than Gibson, but both are about the same age and experienced their “Golden Eras” around the same time.
Is that the Rymen? Hey the Ryman Burned Down dome years ago. This is not the Ryman.
The Ryman hosted Ru Paul. Boycott the Ryman.
Gibson will never show a Fender guitar, even though there's prolly been more Fenders on that stage than Gibsons
I suggest watching our series “The Collection.” We have no problem showing guitars of any brand.
Apparently you missed the episode a few weeks ago that Mark did at Carter Vintage Guitars. That one has a Fender Strat in it and some other non Gibson instruments.
As far as your comment about the number of Fenders vs Gibsons to grace The Ryman stage I’m not so sure about that either.
