Wie es ist, ein Nashville Touring Musiker zu sein | Das Leben auf der Straße | Vlog

that is the life haha

thanks for showing what its like

Thanks for sharing 👍

I'm curious about the digitech drop on your board. Is it true with the pitching? Are you doing full on proper chords or just melody spots here and there? I've spent some time with the early gen whammies and currently a ricochet but would be nervous to trust one to not be 'wobbly' for an entire song.

No noise gate?

whats the song at the 7 minute mark, the guitar player is rippin!

is ot worth going there to work as a musician if you hate coubtry music with every fiber of your soul?

Who do you travel with now?

I thought you would cook some Adobo chicken and lumpia with that po!! Your a very decipline musician, no parties after shows like Rockstars do.

Who knew seeing a VCR pedal on a board would trigger cringe.

I always wanted to be a touring musician but have no clue were to start

Wowie, that was fun, thnx 🎶👌🙏💖

20 years in Nashville and every bus call was at a Kroger parking lot. :-D

how apparent are drugs nowadays for musicians?

So YOU are the guy who bought that VCR pedal!!

Luckly country is only listened in USA.

These videos inspired me to make my own vlogs RJ! I have about 20 episodes now and it’s thanks to great musicians such as you, Rhett and Adam making these videos. Thank you.

Fascinating and funny!

Awesome video bro! I've been a guitarist for like 25yrs. I've done all the same things that you were doing in the video. The traveling, the soundchecks , the "hurry up & wait" the rest of the day till showtime...LOL!
Yeah some of it is enjoyable & some is just plain boring, u know. But when your finally on the stage & everything is flowing perfectly that's when you feel the pay off. At least for me. There's nothing better than playing live music ,the energy that you share with everyone. (Well, riding my motorcycle in the woods & on the street is like up there too....) But I gotta say that the best moment of your video is when you finally get in your home at the end & who's eagerly waiting? Just the best friends in the whole world... your DOGS!!!
Yes, dogs are the best thing in life! At least for me brother. Thanks for the video ✌🤘🤘🤘

Nice video.

So I'm a retired aerospace engineer and road warrior. That means that I was away from home 5 days a week, sometimes longer. Yes, I flew business class and stayed in 5 star hotels. But I was working 10+ hour days and I was an absent dad.

And if we were behind schedule, we worked 12 hour days and 7 day weeks. When we had a long contract at Edwards AFB, we stayed in a mobile home park because it was right next to the base. Entertainment was shooting a little pool and having a couple of beers before heading to bed.

Long story short, we were hired guns, hired because we were disciplined, focused, and team players who were good at design and test, system integration, and problem resolution. I mean, our products -- combat aircraft -- were designed to fly Mach1.2+ which placed a lot of stress on the plane and on the pilot and on the flight test team.

That was awesome. Thank you. G-dspeed 😊🙏🏻❤🎸

What a second, there's a pedal to digitally drop to Eb without retuning??
That's incredible.
Great video Mr. Ronquillo. I geek out on this stuff 👍

Or, am I asking the wrong questions?

Looks like a good enough life. However, where are the girls? And, when do you get to check out other musicians and jam together? Where's the camaradie between fellow rockers? Don't you go around checking other musicians out, guitars and so on?

Great video brother

What in ears equipment do you use? Thx

Great video, I learned a lot. I didn't feel that is was a 19 minute video. That's a fine video editing man, kabayan!

Thanks for that tour trip! Much appreciated!

Learned a lot

How did you manage to get legal papers to work as a touring musician in the USA?

Awesome stuff

Thank you RJ for posting this video it brought back a flood of memories most of them good……😹 In the early 80s I was on a Nashville Network TV show with my band ( ✈️ Sky King ) , Called “ You Can be a Star ⭐️ “ The show was hosted by Jim Ed Brown…! And filmed at the new
( grand old Opry ) ….! Being on the show was Extremely very exciting ..! We ended up getting second place during that particular round.. Anyhow…, when we were finished filming the show, we were approached by two different Nashville agencies….! About half of the audience it turned out was in the music business…! I guess they figured if you were good enough to be chosen to be on the show then you were good enough to make money with…! We ended up going with a agency that was OK….🙄 But we really got our break when we were playing at a large venue in Nashville and I was approached by a gentleman name “ Billy Smith of one nighters Inc. “ One Nighters, ended up buying up our contracts with our existing agency and I found myself getting ( two weeks off a year ) The rest of the time he had us busy crossing the USA playing all kinds of venues and clubs….! Sometimes we would back up country artist… We ended up just being their band for one or two shows, then back on the bus , and away we would go…! After traveling across the US , Playing with my Band Sky King for around 4,1/2 years ….! I decided to get off the road , and ended up moving to Birmingham Alabama…..! I am still playing and I am 67 years old now…🎶🙏🏻🎶. I would not trade those years of eating mustard sandwiches one day, and the next day eating fillet mignon with the chef tossing a salad next to our table….😹😹😹
For all the money in the world ….!!! Nothing can replace those almost 5 years of busting my tail , being a working Road Musician….🎼❤️🎶
Again thank you for stirring the pages of my mind , your friend Professor Jeff Galey, ( The Jeff Galey Channel )
P.S. on my channel the Jeff Galey Channel, in my videos , is a video of a 28 year-old Jeff Galey on ⭐️you can be a star ⭐️ , with Jim Ed Brown as the host….! If you get a chance RJ check it out…🎶🙏🏻🎶

Hi...im just curious about that guitar you are using,that one w/ the les paul style body & inverted headstock? What guitar brand is that...tnx...( Im a Kababayan )

Im on the same MacBook, its getting old though, can you drop the link to whatever that hard drive is you're plugging it into???

I sure wished that I could go out on tour with a major recording artist. I have toured with small country bands, riding in a van, pulling a hauling trailer, but never on a tour bus. Some of the tour gigs I had taken my own van to the gigs as we would play for a week or two. It was fun, and I loved it! Now that I am near Nashville and when I go to the Walmart off of Powell Avenue and see a tour bus loading up, I shout out: "Im' a keyboard player, take me! Take me!" as it has always been my dream to go on a tour bus. I have played all over Texas, but on tour, I have played at casinos, major venues like the Grizzly Rose in Denvor, Colorado and other venues, it is a great life and I miss it so much!

Being claustrophobic I’d be in trouble in those bunks.

I don't think you've ever put up a boring video! One thing about this one ... you mention your strings, your pick, but not the guitars you're using! I'd like to see those listed too.

I was not ready to hit the like button but then u said " I'm a Filipino " im like hit tge button right away😆😆

Victor Broden is the man!!

Good video..good live touring the music..succes

RJ is da man!

Good stuff , RONKIIILLIO😊
