Guild Guitars x Kim Thayil at Guitar Center Seattle

awesome ! had some good laughs nice one thank you Kim and Guitar Center ( worked in Atlanta GC Marietta around that time !)

Kim seems so cool!!! Huge fan of him and his guitar skills!!!

Kim is such a cool guy rock star amazing personality

Anybody have the time stamp forwhen he plays Nothing to Say? Thanks

Hey Kim. The thing that made you a super star is being humble.

idol..

0.00000000001% of the people of INDIA know of this Great Gentleman....What a shame

This interview gear class is iconic!

❤ kim. I hope Ben Shepherd is doing ok these days. I haven't heard of him lately. I know from one of his neighbors i believe theyvwere were saying he was having a tough time last year. I believe itvwas because he missed Chris but I am not sure.

🤘😈🤘 much love🔥🔥🔥

Kim Thayil — one of the most honest, HUMBLE and the most INCREDIBLY TALENTED guitar players on this effing planet...
Man, I wish I could just be there and listen to him live at the moment.
HUGE f*ng respect, man!

Truly one of my favorites. I so want a Guild KT

I was looking for some actual playing...

Soundgarden were a real gift to the world . Kim is a beautiful human who dared to do things his way musically . So refreshing

Late 80s early 90s , I was a pure hip hop head. Heard black hole sun and was transfixed. High quality music.

Thank you. Loved hearing the backstory and inner workings.

The speaking audio to playing audio is very off, is there any way to fix this? I love Kim and it makes it difficult to hear him and then hear blaring guitar throughout the video.

Guild has a great famous guy to endorse the electrics they offer now. Guild has quality stuff for yrs. Now. I don't own any but if you gave me one I would play the s $#@t out of it.😑😊☺

He’s so relaxed and articulate

Kim changed my music tastes with the first punch of the opening sounds of Loud Love that could only be done on a Guild Guitar, (the second punch being Nirvana’s Nevermind). Been a tremendous Soundgarden fan ever since. The part about creating the song Hunted Down was amazing, and seeing how that lineage goes: Tony Iommi>Buzz osbourne> Kim Thayil >Drop D>The rest of rock

Thanks Kim and GC, thoroughly enjoyed this interview!

The respect Soundgarden had for each other as musicians is a great lesson, kids. Don't sell yourself short by settling for less. Hunt down YOUR people. And if you find them, hold onto them!

This Kim guy should join a band or something.
He seem fairly knowledgeable on the whole guitar thing.

Bunch of high school kids doing the audio lol

Kim is a legend and a total badass. He's also a very nice guy.

As of yet Guild does not offer a left-handed version of Kim Thayil's signature guitar😢

Hell yeah!!! Kim's a boss🤘!!!

Kim is my favorite guitarist simply for the kind and gentle way he is. 'Room A Thousand Years Wide' is my favorite Soundgarden song (and he wrote it, as I understand), and hearing the bit about that was divine. Such a sweet, guy. I'd love to buy him a beer.

Kim Thayil ROCKS!!! Long live Soundgarden and 3rd secret kicks ass

I first encountered Soundgarden in a tiny club in Albany NY as the opening band for Living Color and was completely blown away, been a huge fan since then, loved every stage of their growth, they never stagnated keep developing right till the end. Really digging Kim's new stuff with 3rd Secret. Kim is such as cool down to earth guy, he's the same guy who was chatting to us kids in that club way back in 1989.

Kim briefly talking about Chris and what he wishes he could say to him definitely started to choke me up. What an amazing interview. So much love to Kim.

Kim rules. So grateful to Guild for giving him the sig Polara, an honor totally deserved.

Thanks for doing this. Would have liked to have been there in person. I am in Seattle. Didn’t even know it was going on

Wow. He doesn't do much in the way of interviews nowadays. This is a real peek behind the curtain at the wizard Kim. Been waiting years for this. Thank you, Kim.

such a great person!

I loved Soundgarden from the first time I heard them. Nothing but love and best wishes for 3rd Secret. Miss you Chris.

Much love.

Yes! Kim! Loud LOVE!

I love the comments that Kim made about how guitar players try to come up with cool riffs and chords but they play things the easiest way possible. A totally genuine and humble guy and man what a big guitar tone he has! Soundgarden was my favorite band of the ‘90’s for sure and his playing influenced so many players then and now. Great interview/workshop!

One of my favorite guitar players. Has his own style and sound.

I LOVE Kim! Soundgarden is one of my favorite bands of all time, and he is one of my biggest influences as a guitar player!

That was fantastic...Kim is so talented and humble. Loved every moment of that especially his final comment when it was over about being nervous. You can see why Soundgarden made the most amazing and still relevant music to this day😘

love kim's playing, very creative and individual. and he seems like a superlovely guy!

Awesome workshop! Wish their was a camera showing his pedal board and better/ louder audio for Kim and the audience but it was great! Thank you Kim!! God bless Chris Cornell and his childrem🥀

What a gentle, authentic soul. It's so touching how he talks about Chris, almost like he is still with us. Kim is beautifully vulnerable as a human, and that humanity makes his playing so singular and special.

Grew Up learning these riffs and love his individual approach to the guitar. Thank you Kim.

who is this guy?

Just got mine last week. Crazy good guitar.
