    Mason has such a great feel for whatever he’s playing. His pocket, dynamics, sonic manipulation of his instrument to produce the right feeling. Just great to hear you two discussing the hired six-string slinger joys and pitfalls of the biz. Perfect Sunday day off video. Thank you Tim and Mason!

    The big lesson I took from this video is that the session guys make every note count. I don't think it's a stretch to say that every single note Mason played on this video was impactful. I found myself hanging on every one, which as I say, was my take away here. Thank you Tim, and I signed up for the masterclass.

    That opening piece from Mason and it's pocket are his bonafides as a disciple of Jerry Reed. There are many great fingerstyle guitarists out there, but few had the funk and the grease Jerry did. Tommy Emmanuel is one and Mason is another.

I Used a volume pedal on the majority of my playin on that album, am it is a key to sitting right in the mix…for me..Near the end of the signal chain, followed by at least one delay.. nice hearing this conversation. This guy is amazing, both of you so humble. A real treasure. Ring the bell!

    Great episode, love Mason’s vibe. I wondered about Jackson’s approach to finding lead guitarists. They all Burn on the Doctor My Eyes solo. Now I know; it’s part of the audition.
    That solo was turned into a lap guitar showcase in Jackson’s 1970s concerts by David Lindley of course (rip). I saw David play it several times back then and more recently Mark Goldenberg on a 2010 tour that reunited David and Jackson. So Mark’s playing the DME solo on a tele while David watched. No pressure lol (Mark was great).
    Thanks for putting Mason on our radar.
