Operating out of a mobile Class C motorhome studio, Jimmy travels the country spotlighting independent mom-and-pop music stores, historic recording hubs, and regional guitar masters.
Open since 1983 in the hit recording capital of the world. In this episode, Jimmy visits with owner James Counts to talk about Muscle Shoals history, The Swampers, studio legends who walked these aisles, and a deep tour of vintage guitars, amps, and rare gear.
"When you come somewhere like Muscle Shoals, you're looking at guitars and amps that could have been on world-famous records. Each instrument has a story—it's up to you to come pick it up and add to that story. And supporting your local independent music shops is the only thing keeping them alive."
Filming owner interviews, rare vintage inventory breakdowns, and telling the stories of local shops that keep musical culture alive.
Sitting down with touring veterans, session pros, and local legends to deconstruct their signature picking mechanics, tone, and musical philosophy.
Documenting legendary music rooms, recording spaces (FAME, Muscle Shoals Sound, Memphis, Nashville), and real booking contacts for working musicians.
Hosting live in-person fretboard visualization masterclasses and Shawn Lane picking clinics at music stores along the mobile studio route.
