"I didn't have to re-learn anything because I didn't know what I was doing to begin with"
Memorable quote right there.

[@nirvblec16]

“I ain’t change since! All I do is play power chords!” You rock Stephen! 🤘🏼🎸

[@RedBullMusic]

Haha. Facts ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@AJDisME212]

This guy is so down to earth and actually a really awesome creative guitar player.

[@RedBullMusic]

He's so chill and tells it like it is. Need more like him.

[@vereyafrequency]

steph should have his own Smokebox like show herbaday. (cough). He approaches the guitar like an artist. Much respect for the legend. (cough, sorry im enjoying a smoke myself right now).

[@Colin.W]

Need more episodes of him in the Smoke Box. Him and Tommy Chong are the best ones.

[@Cash_Lovell]

He so down to the earth, down to the flat earth he believes in lol

[@thisdeath]

@@Cash_Lovell BRO THE SAME JOKE CAME IN MY MIND BRO HOW (but its okay i still ike steph tho)

[@heytoast7129]

1:55 LOL, Stephen's self-deprecation always cracks me up.

[@RedBullMusic]

Totally. He's amazing.

[@tru816indo]

Stephen carpenter. Wes borland. Head and Munky.. Very creative and innovative guitar players. A true testamemt to the late 90s

[@raiden403]

Jim Root, Mick Thomson, Brad Delson and Marcos Curiel too man.

[@revelarocha3879]

TOM MORELLO

[@Owlun]

@@revelarocha3879 Jim, Mick, and Tom are all decently technical players when they wanna be. I also feel like Wes could be a bit technical if he chose to do so.
I'm not familiar with Brad or Marcos.

[@lames_jahey9734]

That completely transparent honesty about only playing power chords.. Steph I'm right there with you! Playing for over a decade and I'm still having a blast with these "lame" power chords haha!

[@joelbennett9014]

I love Stephen Carpenter...he's just 100% humble and kind and talented. He's a high quality human.

[@tylerbostic2929]

Steph may have a simple playing style, but he is the heart and soul of deftones, and if you actually look at his riffs, he’s a genius guitar player lol

[@Hell_Inc]

steph’s collection is amazing

[@RedBullMusic]

8 strings!

[@glitchyrhythm6749]

This is the most honest, straightforward interview I’ve ever heard from a guitarist lol

[@bloodCount8895]

And now hes playing 9 string on OHMS

[@lucasargandona4658]

Stephen is such a chill dude who makes good sounds

[@Metal_Mohan]

Gotta love Steph

[@rafs20PR]

Gauze is such a underrated Deftones song

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

Why

[@unrealisticcliffburton3893]

One of my favorite songs ever just because.

[@williamsilva5295]

Stef is like an average 9am - 5pm guy that is so good he will never be fired

[@ted__ryan]

Legend

[@RedBullMusic]

For sure!

[@jdsimz8147]

0:30 the one on the right with the neon green pickups looks awesome.

[@gotdamnbaby1353]

[@meatball707]

Pure inspiration! Do what you love and create. No need to color within the lines🤘🏻

[@justinfields7494]

Steph is all about that custom life. Those Cabs are sick!

[@CrownedForCreation]

This man is my inspiration in music and life!

[@bry99str]

[@monsterafterparty69]

Stephen is a hero.

[@ALANRMOREY]

Damn ARTIST ,plain and simple

[@true2dagame]

I love his energy lol

[@philsmith3019]

0:49 "Haha I like his laid back attitude- WTF! Is that a bass whammy?!"

[@coffeegrounds13]

Stephen seems refreshingly humble

[@thomashayes2992]

The greatest metal guitarist ever. 6 strings white pony ..personal favorite.

[@DefThrone]

Tony Iommi.

[@gregor_yaooo]

does anyone know what kind of knobs he has on his guitars? they look killer!!

[@OmarOmarOmar]

this is legit 2 mins of him saying "i have no clue wtf im doing or why im doing it but im having a great time doing it"

[@2isceez]

Stef is my spirit animal

[@Star_Sn1per]

One of the reasons why i dig this guy so much is because of his humbleness

[@killemall69]

He is his style so hard

[@Colin.W]

Want his Chiquita guitar!!

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

My bro Steph

[@themadminuteman]

Best guitarist ever

[@lucasargandona4658]

Not really the best but very unique and creative

[@sharinglungs3226]

I like a lot of his earlier work but since Diamond eyes he’s been going super simple minimalist. I wish he would go back to some shredding and old school metal.

[@therealnafis3637]

"I loved EVH." I did too.. :( RIP Eddie

[@estebanmartinez9472]

What's the song in the background?

[@kalinaerlita8210]

Why is the neck and bridge pickup are so close?

[@ayofntito3836]

Anyone know where I can get those tone knobs?!!!!???

[@gregor_yaooo]

I would like to know that too!

[@jimroot69]

[@pcdFadeD]

Find stephen on Smoke n scan time to time

[@gravitalez]

The Last Riffbender

[@jamesharden8033]

The way he explained his string configuration makes 8 strings a bit less scarier for me 😊

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😅 those strings are *hyperslinkys.* 8 string for life ✊🏼

[@sgtscumbag]

"I didn't have to relearn anything, because I didn't know what I was doing to begin with."
If that isn't the most honest statement then I don't know what is.

[@sirsyncalot9147]

What's that song playing

[@unrealisticcliffburton3893]

Gauze

[@MontaguStudios]

It's strange that his name is pronounced "Stef-fen" whereas Stephen King is "Stee-ven." Lol I'm confused.

[@ericmoody3944]

What is the first song?

[@TetraVaalBioSecurity]

Deftones - Gauze

[@ericmoody3944]

@@TetraVaalBioSecurity thanks man....

[@daverios222]

[@eliasbaltazar9774]

Gauze

[@gaifox5734]

Он же умер

[@county365]

And now he has a 9-string.

[@prlATX]

Sad that this ACL show they had a horrible issue with the sound. That’s probably why they haven’t returned to Austin since 😓
