          Hi Anthony,
          I spent a great 3 days in Nashville a few years back and met up for the first time with a virtual AM friend. We rented a little house in East Nashville on AirBnB. Everything is pretty close by, easy to Uber. The weekend we went, Carrie Underwood was at the Grand Ol’ Oprey and Chris Stapleton was at Titan Stadium, so hotel rooms were scarce. We were lucky enough to book ahead at the Ryman Auditorium to see Joe Bonamassa, so check the bookings. We had the best time at the Bourbon St. Boogie Blues Bar on Printer’s Alley, don’t miss this place. You can reserve a stage side table for Cajun cuisine and spend the entire evening there (we actually left and came back later). It’s a small stage with 2 floors of seating. The early acts are usually single performers but the acts get better and better. By late evening the place is really hopping and the beer flows like water. It’s very entertaining to wander through the crowds on Broadway in the evening (I swear 90%+ of the crowd was inebriated) and pop into every bar with live music along the way. In the daytime we visited all the great guitar shops. If you contact and book ahead maybe you could even get a live guitar lesson with Guthrie Trap or one of the many Nashville guitarists.It’s a great place to visit, have a wonderful time.
