Eric Clapton guitar tech Lee Dickson at Olympic Studios

Right now, I’m sorta fascinated with guitar techs. I really dig builders in the music world.. and likewise, I like the people that maintain instruments and develop that close relationship with a artist. Techs have it rough, since we’re dealing with a *feel* and really need to understand the specifics of the player and with each instrument. It’s got to be a challenging gig at times to dial in the perfect action for the player on different instruments, or maintaining amp settings, effect settings, etc.

Here is a cool video of Eric Clapton’s guitar tech Lee Dickson.
