Inspired to by play guitar by his 6-stringing father, @ShawnTubbs emerged from the Christian-music scene. By his late teens, he was doing club and session gigs, and became part of The Violet Burning. In 1992, he played with Stone Temple Pilots on an episode of MTV Unplugged, then got deeper in the high-profile Nashville session scene, and began touring with Carrie Underwood.

He’s since stopped road-tripping in favor of the studio, where he’s a first-call player and his credits include recent work with David Crosby. The 30-year-veteran guitarist’s current album, Demolition, A Collection of Short Jams, can be heard on SoundCloud, and he’s got a popular YouTube channel, but you can hear him demo is own gear in this Rig Rundown, filmed at his home studio.

  • The greatest ever heard until now bt his hair he should have them cut or tight it's embarassing every single move!!

  • I love his style ,& his tone but his obsessive hair fiddling is getting unwatchable. I saw Fabio (Whom he really resembles in looks)on Club Random with Bill Maher recently & even HE didn't fiddle with his hair like this. My God Man – sigh …

  • I would be willing to bet that his R9 was redone by "HIstoric Makovers" who do incredible work.
    They are the ones that did Bonamssa's Lazurus" 1959 Les Paul.

  • if you would use a chorus on one amp only with the depth high and the rate very slow and bring the level up just enough ( very low) you will get a big stereo effect without really hearing the chorus ….sounds awsome clean and great dirty…..just saying….. your an awsome musician !!

  • When Bohlinger says "oh wow that's bangin" I take it from him mainly because he's a gun slinger himself .He's being real ,he's being genuine.

  • Shawn is such a cool cat. What a unique player with great chops and killer tones to boot. What cables are you using Shawn?

    Reply
  • Great rundown, thank you! You guys were talking about the Duesenberg and asking "what does this?" It reminds me of a Johnny A. Thinking that might sound similar. Fun stuff here!

  • Awesome video. Loving my Tilt OD. Shawn is so humble and such a talented artist. He’s inspired me in many ways. We need a Demolition Pt 2!

    Reply
  • The star player has a fender scale on a gibson body. it's a great guitar, very chimy

    Reply
  • James Tyler’s are killer guitars…but THAT headstock!! It’s the Marmite of high end guitar headstocks! You either love it or you hate it…and I’m with the latter on that one!

    Reply
  • John, you did it again bro. I just discovered this such an incredible player. sweet guy too. however if he doesn't get a haircut he is gonna get crazy ha ha.

    Reply
  • Wow, what a great rig rundown, so glad I came across this, even tho 9 days late! Shawn has been one of my very favorite guitarists ever since I came across his pedal demos some years ago. Fantastic player, and always gets such beautiful tones. But in this video, the sounds from about 49:20 to 49:49 are truly out of this world and cosmic!

  • Okay hear me out… a drinking game every time Shawn messes with is hair haahaa. I kid. This is such an awesome video. Such a fan of Shawn and his playing. Cool to hear the story with these guitars.

    Reply
  • I "play" guitar, not very well, but it makes me happy… until I see guys like Shawn Tubbs. Then I just want to sell it all. And he's such a nice guy. I can't wait until puts out his record.

    Reply
  • Tasty player, I am always jamming along with his vids trying to glom onto his licks and style – SO great. This vid is now saved in my 'Guitar lick library' folder. Go check. Shawn is awesome
