The Hold Steady - "The Ambassador" Ernie Ball Set Me Up Session

Brooklyn-born rock band The Hold Steady stopped by the Ernie Ball showroom in Los Angeles to talk about their guitar playing and song-writing inspiration, their first guitars and to perform their tune “The Ambassador.” “Guitar has been everything, since I was 10, it’s been my whole world.” That’s what Steve Selvidge had to say about his attachment to guitar playing and how The Hold Steady provides his emotional outlet for years. Combine that drive with singer Craig Finn’s love of lyrical story-telling, and you get multiple layers of music and vocal narration. Listen to what they had to say and watch their stripped down performance of “The Ambassador” off their Teeth Dreams record. See more exclusive Set Me Up Sessions here: http://www.ernieball.com/setmeup
