The first year that the Summer NAMM show was in Nashville, I can remember seeing a guy coming down the aisle towards our booth and thinking to myself "Look at this guy trying to look like Garth Brooks. Oh, wait a minute..."
Yes, it WAS Garth Brooks, and he stopped by the booth to pick up a spare capo. He had already discovered the Shubb Capo, which was still relatively new at the time, and it was the only capo he would use. |
Fast forward to 2014:
Garth Brooks is on the road again, after years of semi-retirement. If ever there was a performer who could rest on his laurels, this megastar has logged album sales and concert ticket sales totals that may never be surpassed.
But we had a feeling that something was up when we got a call from his guitar tech, saying that Garth needed a few more capos. Sure enough, the next thing you know, he's back out there knocking the socks off audiences all over the world — something he does better than just about anybody else. |
