Diego Casillas is a killer guitar tech, a very smart person, a really cool dude to hang with and now the first guest on our show! He's worked with bands like Underoath, Chromeo, SmashMouth or Buzzcocks, among many others, as well as with amazing producers, such as Colin Brittain for example.
He helps bands set up and break down their live rigs and makes sure the right instruments are equipped with the right strings, perfectly set up, in tune and ready to go at all times in the studio.
So Diego really knows a thing or two about setting up guitars in general and also specifically for recording situations. And by the way, if you want to learn more about this after listening to this episode, Diego was kind enough to do an even more in-depth live webinar for my The Self-Recording Band Academy beta testers. I've added that to the course as a free bonus workshop for you and you'll get access to that, as soon as you join the program.
In case you're not familiar with the terms "guitar tech" or "guitar setup": That means setting intonation, setting action, muting techniques, setting relief, calibrating pickups, proper restringing technique, gauge selection, cleaning/repairing guitars, pick selection, tuning stability, etc. All absolutely crucial things if you want to get a great tone and feel.
For this podcast episode we focus on instrument selection, string selection (gauge, material, brand), as well as setting intonation, action and neck relief. And on top of that Diego is throwing in so many stories, insights and knowledge bombs that you'll probably want to listen to this more than once, so you can catch all the little nuggets of wisdom.
