This tape from 1992 reveals much of what is needed to be or become a guitar tech. The information is also useful for anyone who works on (or has someone work on) guitars or amps.
The tape has a very warm quality, and I found out why - it was all filmed on 16mm by Leonard Eisenberg (who took those great shots of Hendrix at Woodstock), so it is like watching a movie.
The scenes in the hills of Pennsylvania with Cesar are a treat to watch. The music on the video features guitar by Cesar.
Cesar Diaz's reputation as the AMP Dr. was already well established when the Rolling Stones asked him to work on the sound of the "Dirty Work" album. His work on Stevie Ray Vaughn's "In Step" album earned a gold record trophy. From Eric Clapton's "Journeyman" album to Keith Richard's "Talk Is Cheap" disc, Cesar's accomplishments are varied.
Keeping everyone in tune for four years on the Dylan tour earned Cesar an opportunity to join the band as a full member touring the world. Playing on stage with Bob Dylan in front of millions of people at the Grammy Awards was the peak accomplishment of Cesar Diaz, The Ultimate Guitar Tech.
Cesar with be spending the next 59 minutes with you sharing his trade secrets and philosophy about guitars and tube amplification. He will transform you into your own Guitar tech.
