- One of our favourite guitarists drops in for spectacular tones and life-affirming guitar chat
Life too short for long TH-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the show! We are delighted to welcome Nashville-based guitarist Shawn Tubbs to the show! Shawn was in the UK with Revv Amplification in September 2022 so we jumped at the opportunity of a visit.
In this video Shawn explains the basics of his tone and shares some insight into his unique style. It’s also early days for Shawn’s new pedalboard so naturally, we take a good look at that too!
Please check out Shawn’s channel on the ‘toob! / shawntubbs
Enjoy the show!

But they said you guys would send me a new Stratocaster Ultra…is it shipped yet?
Thanks so much, Dan and Mick for having me over. You guys are just the best!!
Was great Shawn buddy !!!
Big Violet burning fan here in Nashville. Love that older stuff you played on as well as their newer stuff. Great episode!
Loved Lab Sound…Did my first recording sessions next door as a teenager. Forget the name of the studio
Literally the second I saw the video of Shawn and the Captain I said to myself "he has to go on TPS, there has to be TPS with Shawn Tubbs!"
Thanks so much Shawn, it was a great hang! My bridge is now floating. Ha! Mick here. :0)
Mick is sitting on the right. Hold on…I have to turn my phone upside down. 🙃
The parallel universe.... not sure I approve of the seating arrangement fellas. Haha looking forward forward watching this one.
For once he's on the right side of the D&M drive
Imagine not watching TPS for a while and you click on this video and Mick has a goatee, a gold strat, and is sitting on the right 😵💫
Shawn Tubbs is the man! Disgustingly good looking, horribly brilliant and frighteningly decent as a person. Makes all our lives better. Oh, and TPS is pretty damned special too ❤
Yessir
I wanted to write the same comment but you did it!
No lies detected.
Shawn Tubbs is genuinely the nicest people (ive ever heckled on TH-cam). I posted a comment that was a bit negative about a pedal he was demoing. His response in dealing with my negativity was SO well handled that i immediately re-commented calling him perhaps the nicest person on TH-cam....lifted my mood immediately. Super nice guy......
Love all you guys! Building this board was a pleasure! The G3 is fab!
You guys are FAB!!
what are those cables you used on Shawns Board?
@@timbennett6644 We custom make cables, mostly with Mogami cable and Squareplug ends. Thanks!
@@xacttone Thanks Guys
Given the transformative effect certain YT channels have had on my relationship with pedals, this is right up there with the Andy Martin visit. Shawn is an amazing player and comes across as a genuinely great person. What a treat.
It's my observation that this channel is absolute magic for the world of guitar. Thank you Dan, Mick and all of your guests for sharing so very much. This room holds a special place in my heart on my musical journey. Thank you.
😌
I have to admit I'd not heard of Shawn before this video, so thanks to Dan and Mick for bringing him in. I'm immediately a fan, Shawn is just so generous, gracious, cool-headed, such a gentleman, and just watching the video I feel like my own playing has already changed in my head, just that change of perspective from contact with an enlightened mind. He mentions some of my guitar heroes but mentioned a few I hadn't heard of that I now need to dig into. My first thought was woodshed but my second thought was to play with other people, stay connected. "Feet to the fire" indeed. Huge thanks to all!
The first thing I noticed when I first heard Shawns early videos was THE INTONATION!!!!! Everything is always so beautifully in tune. He is an absolute master and such a genuine person. Would love to hear that trio,
I was ignorant of Shawn but man alive he's a giant of skill, musicality, knowledge, humour and humility and I am in awe. Thank you Shawn, Dan and Mick. Respect.
Thanks so much, Paul!
I can only echo what has already said about Shawn by so many others. He is a humble and exceptional guitar player and a great human being! I had the privilege of meeting him in person at Sweetwater Gear Fest a few times back when that was a thing. He's the same to a single wanna-be guitar player at a Revv booth as he is on TH-cam! The world is a better place with him in it. I wish him success in where-ever his journey leads.
His head of hair is as good as his playing and his pedalboard/rig. What a dude! Such a great show!
Aside from being a monster player, Shawn seems like one of the most genuinely kind and humble people on the planet...
Oh, I'm PUMPED to watch this episode! Shawn is crazy good
I have discovered so many different artists and even genres from this channel over the years of watching and a deep dive on Shawn’s channel is my next stop. Can’t thank you guys enough for sharing all of these incredible people and the art they create.
You’re most welcome Jordan 🙏
Fantastic, thanks for showcasing one of the more underrated contemporary guitarists.
Ow I liked this one!!!
There is one beautifull moment that Dan and Mick are watching shoulder to shoulder. Boys watching their hero.
If this episode was a pedal it would be the Memory Men. Completely unforgettable. The delight and disbelief on Mick and Dan's faces is like family watching kids light up with the best surprise or present ever. The mutual respect was obvious and should be a reminder not to sell TPS and your gifts short to many who are in awe of what your wisdom, playing, constant growth, inspiration and especially your humour that always makes each episode memorable. Shawn's playing is other worldly and he is so grounded, open and comes across as a really great guy. You so often mention the honour of having guests in the room and will have memories stored to treasure through the years. The fact that you share these moments make the pleasure and privilege available to all to watch over and over. Magic. Much Gratitude Gents.
You're very kind, thanks so much!
Those 85 minutes just flew by - MASSIVELY inspiring! Thank you for yet another excellent episode and thank you to Shawn for sharing his musical gifts.
Shawn started mentioning names that I worked with Like John Schriener and so forth from So Cal. He was so spot on. Great interview.
I'm ashamed to say that this is the first time I've knowingly heard Shawn's playing! I'll definitely be listening to more in the future though... Great player and great human by all accounts. Another great show!
Shawn buddy great you got to visit the Studio and hang ! fantastic you got to make the trip over !! Killer playing as always and a perfect almost 1&1/2 hours Mick & Dan!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It was truly a pleasure. Dan and Mick are awesome humans!
We need the full Bros. Landreth video please!! They’re become my absolute favorites since the first one :D
Mid week next week... Just waiting for some copyright shenanigi to unravel. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow thanks guys!! Loved this episode too, as always. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow I love the use of correct plural "shenanigi"
What a spectacular episode this is - well done TPS. Shawn’s playing and approach just grabs my ear every time (not to mention what a decent human he appears to be along with it). I will also admit every time i watch him on an HSS type guitar i then look at my various SSS guitars and they just know one of them is going to get a humbucker at some point.
Mick you definitely need to float the trem on at least one of your strats too, i had mine all locked down and blocked up for decades until i was listening to Jeff Beck (if i recall correctly) and just had to give it a try on one of mine again.
Yeah man, I've removed a spring from the '61. So far so good. I'll see if I can live with it. Different head space... and I like it!
Haven’t watched this yet, but will tonight, and incase he doesn’t mention it, you can spot Shawn on acoustic during STP’s Unplugged set from the early 90s. What a player.
8.14: I mean, seriously? That was FAB! And with zero warning or fanfare - that’s the TPS way. And it’s already a fantastic episode with one of the humble modern great pro players.
This was excellent! Shawn is one of my favorite players. He always sounds killer and his playing is full of awesome twists that are so melodic.
the talk about playing outside the key/scale/chords of a song was SO fascinating. As one of those odd people who know more about music theory than guitar playing, I found it rather enlightening to hear Shawn make the point that listening to it slow can be excruciating. Because he's absolutely right! When you go and slow down those jaw dropping licks that you heard off some record before you knew how to play it (the eye opening moment for me was that first guitar solo in Rosanna), you have that moment of like..."wait, these are just wrong notes? You can do that?" And I think that's one of the most valuable things you can hear, especially for guitar where fretboard patterns can feel so all-encompassing to new players.
Super cool! Shawn Tubbs is the quiet monster guitarist. Thank you for the interview. Love to watch Dan laugh with joy when Shawn plays the higher level stuff. That is what it's all about!
There are so many great TPS episodes, but for anyone that has never watched one, this might be the best. Terrific job guys! You are all an inspiration.
As someone who went to Musicians Institute, I can affirm Shawn’s comments. I liken it to high school: it doesn’t actually help to prepare you for the real world, rather it puts you in an environment to learn to socialize. The personal connections made at my time there are exponentially more valuable than the theory and techniques I’ve learned.
Finally the only humble legend is catching up with the two cool dudes from the UK 🙌🙌
Forget about the tone, forget about the skills, what a well spoken, well mannered lovely chap.
Thank you Shawn and That Pedal Show. Love the mention of Phil Keaggy another great guitarist!
Shawn is a gem for sure
Hey Shawn TUBBS, do you remember from a few weeks ago I commented on a
“complimant” from a certain guitarist?
Larry Carlton.-CRAZY!,
Here’s a fresh recap:
“Hey man, nice extensions..and I’m not
talking about your hairdo’”-L.C.
-as he exits the control room.
HILARIOUS!
If you notice Shawn, I listen with precision and fervently blend your touch into specific songs,
-kinda like jamming with you with super rad musicians!, LOL!!!!
Anyways, I hear more L.C in you then R.F.
-which is a win-win either way!
Gosh darn,- only 44 seconds in and this has to be some of the most vocally eloquent bluesy playing I have ever heard,- and I´m a metalhead.
This is gonna be a GOOD friday afternoon.
Thanks in advance guys.
Now,- back to the show.
Cheers
Two of my favourites. So good! Been waiting for this video for years!
Shawn is so effortless! Such a great player and love watching his channel! Thanks for having him on!!!
The "LUTHER PERKINS" bit where you drag your hand across the screen -- yeah, that made me spit my drink out (laughing) - so THANKS
😂🤣
Love Shawn Tubbs!! Glad to see him on show
Absolutely brilliant episode with Shawn, Thanks so much lads, !
What a player! Such a great episode to watch. Thanks TPS
Great video and always love the tps and guests!
the whole discussion about 'outside' was so great. You have to be able to hear it, which can not be 'learned'. Love that.
My fav guitarist on my fav channel! The streams have crossed and the universe has imploded!
So many of my now favorite modern guitarists have come from this show bringing them to light. You guys have such an influence on inspiring guitarists not only with gear but also with spectacular guests. Keep up the amazing work!
This has been one of the most stressful weeks of my life with Hurricane Ian hitting Florida. But an episode of TPS is like a warm reminder that everything will be alright...
Thank you TPS for all you've done for me and so many others.
Great playing and talking, not to mention Shawn Tubbs played with Stone Temple Pilots on their MTV Unplugged show back in the 90’ 🎸 Thanks!
What a joyful episode! Thanks guys!
Thank you! I could've watched another hour of that. Shawn's touch is so refined, his hands are so much of his tone. The conversation about playing "outside" was especially interesting and informative. Great work everybody!
My absolute favorite guitarist and all around sweet human being. Love this!
It's always these session guys that just flat out floor me. Hot damn!
I love how that goes into feedback almost immediately
Shawn is a killer player and given the TPS platform to relate makes this episode brilliant, well done all!
Outstanding video! I could have watched 10 more hours of this! Great insights, Shawn. Much appreciated.
Great guitarist / really nice person , no real ego , kudos Shawn !
I literally JUST found Tubbs on TH-cam yesterday and now he’s on the channel! Love this guy. That 63 strat story makes me feel better about my regrets 😅 I absolutely love session guys and their stories. What a special talent that is. I don’t normally watch the entirety of every video of yours since they go pretty long sometimes but I was enthralled for every second of this!
My absolute favorite interview/video of yall's I've seen!!!
Shawn is a fantastic player and human being. Always dig his playing and demos. Got to see him backstage with Miranda Lambert years ago...cool cat.
This video is my favorite in a long time. It stands right up there with the Joey visits. It’s such a treat to hear and watch Shawn, so incredibly inspiring. You guys also bring out the best in visitors. This video could have gone on for hours.
What a thoroughly nice chap Shawn is and an absolute killer player. That was a fascinating insight. Great post that one TPS.
Shawn Tubbs You Tube channel always informative and entertaining. Xact Tone Solutions in Nashville, Tn are the go to guys here. Great show guys, thanks.
Watching this again. And due to a overpassed comment, just wanted to say I really hope we can get a Bukovac Pedal Show sometime!!!
That would be AWESOME!
Yeah, nobody plays like Tom and it would be awesome to see him on this channel!!
I just found out Shawn used to live in my home town of Sierra Vista , AZ. I never met him but he gave lessons to some friends of mine! Great player!
Thank you Dan for expressing exactly how I feel about those crazy cascading runs Shawn plays that resolve so beautifully, and for acknowledging what an amazing and unique player Shawn is. So cool to see him getting the recognition he deserves!
HOLYTOLEDO! I’ve been waiting many years for Shawn to be on this show. He is equals parts an astounding musician as he is a human.
Shawn is such a great guitar player - wow. It's a joy to listen to him every time every where in the internet.
Great show, guys! Loved it!
Man...one of the coolest and nicest people, along with being an absolute monster player. Top tier TPS episode!
On another note. That might be the best organized board I’ve seen. So well conceived. I supposed it ought to be Shawn has gone through so many boards and gear. So much experience went into it and now it’s here to Benefit me! Thanks fellas!
Thank God for these videos. The sun came up and today will be better than yesterday. We will make progress cleaning up hurricane destruction. And music keeps me sane. In time, I'll be able to get my student hat on and get back to relearning guitar
Shawn !!! one of my all time fave players ....all 'round truly gifted musician . His Demo's are bar none truly dope ! . . . also a very down to earth, wonderful human being, no BS with Shawn ... (well worth subscribing to Shawn's YT channel)
53:33 “I wish I knew what I was doing”. A bird has no idea how it actually flies, but (1) it doesn’t care and (2) it’s no less spectacular to witness one doing it. Brilliant playing!
Absolutely one of the very best TPS episodes ever. Great all-around discussion with one of the best players around.
Yoooo!!! I stinkin knew Shawn was going to show us that rig here soon. Dude is a monster. I’d consider him one of the most unique players alive right now.
What a nice guy with a super tone, lovely touch and beautiful musical soul, loved it 🚬🔥🎸❤
Eternal fan of Shawn !! So great
That was a great video in just about every respect. Fantastic stuff!
Great show guys!🎸🎸🎸🎸
Always love these artist episodes, and this was no exception. What a player! Great to see you guys get a mutli-page feature in Guitarist too, keep it up gents!
Shawn "ultimate phrasing" Tubbs.
Thank you!
The great thing about TPS (and Shawn in this case) is that if I have questions, they're answered by watching the video(s) and I do not have to utter a single word in text. I've heard of Shawn but life happens to where I didn't know anything until this video...and time allotment. My jaw dropped watching this video, not just because of his amazing technique but because his sound is so similar to mine! The two variations of the Tilt are now being thought about heavily by me. Either or will allow me to remove a rare hard to find pedal or two from my board and still retain my sound. The Tilt feature is the standout for me because one of those pedals has a nearly untameable high end (a light overdrive). The other light OD is one that I love that may or may not stay on the board going into one of the Tilt variations...the question answered. As they say, "Decisions Decisions". Thanks to the three of you and I'll report back when I've determined which variation I'm going for.
Stephen
Thanks so much for the kind words Stephen!
Man, I’m praying for England and especially the crew at TPS. I hope you guys can make it through the winter without too much financial pain trying to keep the place warm for your employees, and your families. I hate to bring up current events and all that but I’m worried for my friends across the pond. I’m ordering a few shirts today on my break.
There's nothing like the tubes in our amps to keep us warm😉😂
Clearly the Queens funeral is more important.
Ah so awesome. When I saw the Andertons vid I was quietly hoping a TPS ep was in the making. Shawn is so so good. He has such a cool explorative approach to playing and his ear is off the hook. I really relate to his approach of latching onto concepts from players opposed to strict transcription. Super cool. Love that the tps boys are getting a glance at the XTS work from nashville, meeting of worlds!
Really cool show guys. Shawn rocks. Cheers
What a show 🤯❤️
So excited to see Shawn on here! He's part of my origin story as a guitarist 40 years ago and I was so excited to rediscover him a few years back! Such a great soul and a monster player...and I have to admit, his Tilt pedal has quickly become my main drive on my board, alongside a Lightspeed.
Thanks so much Doug!
Can you explain why he (tubbs) had that giant confederate flag as his video back drop but then removed it and the videos. Are we dealing with are racist hiding behind guitar?
Your editing is so tasteful and creative. Editor deserves a big ol’ kiss
Thanks Bradley. :0)
What a thoroughly nice chap. Knows how to bat with that Suhr as well doesn't he!
Great sounds as ever, thanks TPS team. X
Shawn Tubbs is finally on TPS?? My explodey bits have fully exploded. 💙🔥
The grin on Dan & Micks face says it all!
Great show guys.
Thanks for bringing us what looks to be another great TPS Episode. I hope everyone's health at TPS is continuing to improve. It's going to be a rainy windy couple of days here as the remnants of Hurricane Ian pass through. Thanks again....Cheers.
Hey there friend, send you well wishes with the storm, we got hit pretty hard here in Tampa but nowhere near as bad as those in Naples, Punta Gorda, Ft Myers, Port Charlotte, etc.
Thankfully it should be much weaker when it reaches anyone north of Florida but please be safe anyways. All the best. 🙏🏼
Shawn's such a good dude!
I thoroughly enjoyed this on many a level, cheers for that guys!
Shawn is a killer player and a legend, nice guy too. Great work TPS team
Shawn Effing Tubbs…. That is the greatest “interview” I’ve ever seen with him. He is so natural in his playing.
Never thought of Shawn Tubbs as a beautiful man 'til now.
Great hang!!! Thank you!!!✌🏻
Cheers guys, just a great, great episode. Hope you're all keeping well.
