- LEARN TO PLAY NASHVILLE-STYLE GUITAR WITH LEGENDARY SESSION PLAYER, BRENT MASON: prf.hn/l/KjLZBoO
This clip was shot in the rehearsal hall known as Soundcheck here in Nashville in June, 2005. Five years later, Soundcheck was flooded.
In this video I talk to Brent Mason. Brent is one of the most in demand session guitarists in Nashville. He's played on so many hit records from the 80's and 90's and even to this day.
Brent talks about his influences, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reid plus his home life growing up as he was surrounded by music.

LEARN TO PLAY NASHVILLE-STYLE GUITAR WITH LEGENDARY SESSION PLAYER, BRENT MASON: prf.hn/l/KjLZBoO
One of the all time masters. So cool to hear Brent cite his influences, especially Pat Martino (RIP❤)
Brent the guitarist that can out shine many other's, but his his fret board earn him a PhD in Nashville musicianship! Great humble man! Last of chicken pickin Nashville cat's! Great interview for Us in you tube land!
9:00 It's funny hearing him talk about amp hum when this whole video has buzz in the background lol. Mason is one of my favorite players ever
Brent took Jerry Reed to the next level man.
I remember being in a country band in late 90s Warrnel Chappel Nashville was looking at our lead guitarist went and took lessins from Brent Mason to get that Nashville sound down then sent me to get a couple times with Lonnie Wilson. Those guys will forever be my heroes who performed some of the best music tracks ever to come out of Nashville!
Uh oh! Little bit of The Claw from Jerry Reed in that opening phrase!
One of the greatest guitarists ever
True. Ace. Right there.
Taking your life into your own hands. That is quite a statement. Said with a nervous smile. 15 years ago.
Yes any beer bar is not all that safe in certain parts of most any town but like he said George was treated with much respect and asked for autographs. Thanks for watching Juan…. Best, Joe
Born in Taiwan but my ears love Nashville.😆 Love these stories about Chester. We love you Chet.
one of the finest guitar pickers ever …👏🏻
Great interview Joe! Love it when Brent said "But I'm not finished yet, don't run me out of town". Obviously a terrifically gifted guitar player! Some people are just born with that ability. Hope that everything is going good on your end. 👍👍😉😉
Thanks Steve…. Joe
As always, a great interview with a great player, Joe. I remember well the Brent Mason display at the old MHOF location. I've got a Brent Mason story from several years ago of Brent signing my Hot Wired CD in honor of my dad. I was in Nashville on business and had emailed Brent about signing my CD that used to belong to my dad before he passed away. My dad and I listened to Hot Wired together and always dumbfounded and amazed at Brent's playing. After a few scheduling conflicts, and me leaving town the next day, Brent offered to come by my hotel after he was finished recording for the day. He did, signed the CD in honor of my father and we had a great conversation. I will never forget Brent's kindness in doing that and will always be grateful. Thanks again, Brent!
Thanks for sharing your memories Michael… Joe
I love hearing how Brent got his start one thing about your interview you ask the the right questions Have you ever play on some of the best musicians out there I know you are a song writer Great job thanks Joe
Hi Patricia… no once I gave up being a rock star:) I just focused on writing. Best, Joe
❤️ beautiful Joe C, great content. As always
I remember going to the Stagecoach to hear Brent when he first came to town. There was quite a buzz about him even then... and that was 40 years ago! Great interview again, Joe 👍...
Thanks again W…. Joe
Brent, good to hear about you. I remember sitting in on sessions which my uncle, Fred Foster, produced where you played. That was long ago. God bless you.
Great interview Joe.👍 I love how he thoughtfully listens to the question, before starting to answer. Great talent!
Thanks again Cal…. Joe
I am but a click away from getting Brent's online course. I have to figure out the landscape where he is offering his courses.
When I first started hearing Brent Mason on the radio, I thought it was two guitars. I just didn’t believe it was possible for one guitar to play all that at one time. Then I saw him on TV and holy *^&($ :)!
You are great part of Nashville and always will be a great part of Nashville music they can never move you out of town thankyou for all you do!
Thanks Joe!
ALWAYS great interviews❣
Thanks Joe!
Thanks again Tom…. Joe
Nice. I never got to hear him when I was up there but one of my influences. He's the EVH of country imo.
I have described him as the EVH of country myself. He’s a monster on The Tele
Great interview, Thanks Joe!💫
Thank you Larry…. Joe
Incredible picker.
I came back to watch this again because of the way he just dropped into Merle Travis mode so easily. I'm sure he can instantly be 'the same as' anybody he wants for that moment. When he was telling about being in the record store reading his name on the album cover reminded me of the scene in "The Jerk" where Steve Martin was so proud to be 'somebody now' because his name was printed in the phone book. The solo single he talks about with Alan Jackson has a lot of fine playing by a bunch of artists. Brent Mason is much better than I ever realized. Thanks, Joe!
Thanks Ed…. Joe
Just looking at all of the equipment behind him....and I know thats only a small part of it that was ruined in the flood. Was a travesty that was. I imagine that there wasn't much footage of that place before the flood. What a great guy and this is very cool interview Joe. 👍🏻😎
Thanks David… I appreciate it… You were so correct with your observation of the gear pictured behind Brent. It’s been stated that the Nashville flood of 2010 was the biggest loss of musical instruments since the Nazi bombing of Europe during WW2. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts… Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum and thank you for the link. I could use all the help I can get.
Interesting guy with a great story. It’s awesome to hear that this exists Mecca for great guitar players still exists. They do live sessions vs sending parts over the internet.
Skip…. Thanks for watching….. best, Joe
Anytime Joe. Yjr storied re always greay.
He’s a fantastic guitar player. The comment at the end was interesting though. Brings to light the competitiveness of guitar players in a place like Nashville. The next young gun is always around the corner and a perceived threat even to a great player like Brett Mason.
they wont be as good
Nothing out of Nashville no matter how well played has ever added up to music that will appreciated in 100 years. So little authenticity or innovation
more awesomeness Joe !!!!
Thanks Tom…. Joe
Awesome! And congratulations on 100k subscribers! Your son-in-law was right, and God bless him for getting you to do what you are doing for all of us out here on the Wild Wild Web ;)
Thanks RC….Joe
If love to hear him jam with young Luke McQueary who plays regularly at Robert's. He's one who's got IT. Robert's always gets the great players. I'm sure Brent has played there many times. I've seen Johnny Hiland there, Jack Pearson, Chris Scruggs, JD Simo, young Daniel Donato. The place is a magnet for excellent guitar players.
you could never say enough great things about chet .... one of the greatest who ever lived and never turned his back on other players... i was hoping brent would say something about danny gatton, i think they were pals.....
I know! Wish there was more stuff on Gatton he deserved more than he got
WOW Sweet stuff Where in Ohio? I'm from Wash. Pa. near Wheeling, near Columbus OH Very nice guitarist, Jeff Beck is a favorite of mine Love Jazz, going to go see 1st concert, King Crimson 2021
Thanks for watching Nelly…..Joe
JOE !!! 🖒
I'd be great if you could get Warren Haynes to do an interview.
Hi Newking…. I’ve known Warren since he was David Allen Coe’s guitarist back in the early to mid 80’s. If he’s in Nashville I’ll try…. Best, Joe
So was this taped in Brent’s garage???
Rip Joe Chambers
Does this guy ever age? He looks the same as he did years ago.
No FBN…. Looks the same:) Dorian Gray:)…. Joe
Brent is a monster Player...YO!
