Hello Tom! This is Billy T Midnight and thank you for being a part of my recording project back in 1997 at Emerald Sound Studios with John Guess. Those days were the highlight of my music career and I was dumbfounded to record with Brent, Glenn, Eddie, Matt, Paul, Larry and others. I am proud and grateful for your’s, and everyone that put their soul and talents in my project. That CD, that though officially has no name, I call it “The Purple Album” is on Spotify if you ever want to give it a listen. I had to give up my music career back in 1999 after getting hurt at work as a school bus mechanic but I will never forget or regret my attempts at “trying to make it.” Be well and God bless bless brother.
Hey Buko. Great shit as always! Thanks so much for letting us in on the hang. Quick lost gear story for the HomeSkoolers: I had just finished a gig during wintertime and was loading out in a snow covered parking lot. I leaned my two Custom Shop Teles against the passenger’s side door of my car, went to close the back hatch of my car, got in the driver’s side and pulled out. About 40 minutes later I pulled into my driveway and looked at the seat next to me expecting to see my guitars only to see an empty space. It was then I realized I had driven off with them still leaned up against the side of my car. I was about to speed back to the club but decided to run inside my house and just as I did the phone rang. It was my drummer. “Hey Dipshit! Lose anything tonight?” he asked. “Yes! I think my guitars are either lying in the parking lot in pieces from being driven over or they’re gone!” I answer. “Nope! I got ‘em ya loser! I saw you drive off and I grabbed them” I was so relieved I almost pissed myself. It was then I learned that one “idiot check” after a show was not enough. Now I do at least two. Your pal in Boston, Darin
Great to see Brent in an interview!! He and brother Randy befriended me while I was in Nashville because I just showed up there when my younger brother Brian Steele was killed in a motorcycle accident and I packed up everything and left New Mexico to take care of his affairs!! Brent was extremely helpful by not only showing me stuff on guitar and then by gifting me a PRS Brent Mason Model because ever since I saw it I wanted to get one!! It's still my number one!! His brother Randy would let me sit in with the Music City Playboys!! The whole Mason family were a blessing to me while I was there! I miss Nashville and all my friends and the musicians that were so kind to me during a tough time!!!
I’m watching this and thinking you couldn’t get a studio, producer, director, film crew etc. to capture this candid magic. Only Buk hand holding his phone and getting the greats to let their guard down sharing stories and laughs. Solid gold! 🙏
If anything, the praise that Bryan Sutton gave to Brent was an understatement, but I was so happy to hear it. If you turn on late 80s/90s country and listen for 30 minutes, you'll hear Brent's playing on 27 of those minutes. That guy is truly amazing. Thanks, Uncle Larry for one of your best episodes yet!
@@dutchi15 Here are some top suggestions (not in any order) with some GREAT Brent Mason playing. o Alan Jackson (Mercury Blues, Chattahooche, Who's Cheatin' Who, and many, many others) o Shania Twain (Love Gets Me Every Time) o Tanya Tucker (It's a Little Too Late - the beginning riff is killer) o Brooks & Dunn (the classic solo on Neon Moon, plus pretty much every other B&D song, like the beginning to Hard Workin' Man) o Other Gems from Wayde Hayes (Old Enough to Know Better) and David Lee Murphy (Dust on the Bottle) o Many George Strait songs (I like Lovebug) o Too many others to mention, but this list above is a good taste - enjoy!
As a young guy I was lucky enough to hook up with a couple of NY studios and pick up some sessions. It became apparent that wasn’t going to sustain my family doing sessions and I got a job and put the guitar down. I heard about these cats but never had the kind of peek into their world back then. I’m really appreciative of your channel for things like this! I retired right after Covid, discovered your channel and returned to the guitar. I play for the joy of playing and get the occasional opportunity to record without worrying where the rent money is coming from! Thanks again!
Holy moly Lenny Breau can’t believe you guys mentioned him. I saw Lenny perform dozens of times back in the day in Toronto in Yorkville and George’s spaghetti factory and one concert just my girlfriend me and a photographer. Lenny was a genius. Jerry Donahue was a big fan too! Thanks guys
Brent did a PRS workshop in Montana in 2015, drove 8 hours to be there. Waited until PRS dudes had wandered off and he was just standing there looking bored, ripped off my best poor rendition of Hot Wired, Brent yelled at me “hey, knock that off”. Ha ha ha ha One of the best memories of my life!! Pretty certain he would not remember that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He did buy a ‘the dude’ pedal in Music Vila that day!! Wonder if it’s the same one?? This video is pretty much the best thing ever!! Been a big fan of homeskoolin’!!
Thank you for this video, Uncle Larry! It’s awesome to see/hear all of this. You asked excellent questions. I met Brent back in 2016 when I played in a band called Reverie Lane. He, Glen Worf, and Paul Leim came in to listen to us/help us with some arrangements. They were all wonderful dudes! Cool to hear Brent mentioning David Hungate as well. I have been playing some shows with his son Noah recently. A cool cat. 😎
Brent's played so many good licks its hard for him to remember them, its like George Strait trying to remember every single word to every single #1 hit he's had at the drop of a dime lol
Went to HS school with Bryan. His dad was actually my history teacher and a well versed musician himself. Bryan was destined for this. He had more miles on a guitar in 12th grade than most do in a lifetime. Brent has been my main influence since 1992. Love the video Buk!
I was beaming like crazy the whole time I was watching this video. It's pure heaven hearing my favorite legendary session guitar guys talking about guitar related stuff for nearly half an hour. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Uncle Larry (and Earl and Jim 🤣). I believe this channel will be of historical significance to guitarists far into the future. I've personally been inspired more than you could know.
That was very special, Tom! Thanks Bryan and Brent. Still kills me that we're in your kitchen one day, and then in the studio or on stage with legends - and I like them all equally. Take care. 😎
Big thanks to all 3 of you for not only taking the time, but also for enjoying each other's companionship/camaraderie. I just celebrated my 60th anniversary of playing guitar (retired pro)and really enjoyed this particular "hang"!
Over the past 30+ years, how many songs have we heard and loved that these guys played on... and at the time, we might not even have known it was them. So great to hear from those who have brought us so much great music. Thanks Tom.
I checked out "Avenue of Love" by David Gates. Brent's riffs of that tune are the kind that raise the hairs on your neck (best music feeling). Thanks for the window into the wonderful world of these great Nashville studio players.
Uncle Larry strikes again and with a vengeance, pure Gold....Thanks Tom, it's always a delight when you take us into the studio and get to listen in on the 3 legends of Nashville...
What people do not realize is that if you walk down the street in Nashville...you will hear some amazing players playing 80's hits to tourists...to be at the level of Mr. Mason, Mr. Sutton, or Uncle Larry.....you have to be Uber exceptional... Thanks BUK!!!
THANK YOU! Episodes like this are the best. Brent qualified why I tell younger players not to tie all their patch cables down...Looks great, BUT there will come that day, in the middle of a gig, or just before, when a patch cable goes out and you need to find which one it is real fast.
its amazing to see to whom cats like you look up to. you should always keep that in mind, so its the best way not to get arrogant. Somewhere out there is always waiting somebody who is better, faster or whatever than you. once i heard an interview with verdine adams white. he talked about taking lessons and the interviewer was astonished and asked for the name! yeah, he said, its ron carter! that rose a wide smile on my face!
Back in my TNN days we used to get off work at Nashville Now and go see Brent play in this club off Murfreesboro Road. I remember telling Chet Atkins he needs to go see this guy...
This stuff truly is a treasure that we can all watch for years to come. May just seem like an odd conversation to these guys but very interesting to people/fans like me. Especially since I’m a huge bluegrass and country fan. Brent has been my hero for decades and I’ve also followed every guitar player Skaggs ever had closely. These guys are legends whether they realize it or not. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you uncle larry for doing these little talks. I grew up listening to all three of you and just to sit in the middle of your conversation is awesome
I've known about Brent for about 20 years, but I just realized that he looks a lot like Eddie Van Halen. Twenty years ago he did a clinic at this guitar camp I was attending in Nashville. I sat about 8 feet from him while his brother played rhythm and he just ripped his ass off. I asked him to sign my Tele on the spot. He was like, "Are you sure man?" I said "Hell yes I'm sure!" He's one of the most mind blowing players I've ever seen. Ever.
This is so great man, as usual. I play in Tanya Tuckers band since 2015, I made a little video of that lick, at least what I’m pretty sure it is ha. We all play it in unison now just for fun. I love that BM doesn’t remember it now, understandable since the amount of licks have become standard now. Cheers!
Hell yea, fckn Peavey Special 130! I plugged into one several years ago and thought it sounded great, I have two of them now. Lots of versatility in that EQ section. Plus Peavey is like the cockroach Swiss army knife of gear.
This is pure gold man. You can watch a dozen interviews but it’s different being interviewed by a colleagues that have a mutual respect and understanding of each others work
I've had the pleasure of learning some Brent solos note for note over the years, they unbelievably difficult. The bending is so precise along with the movement all over the neck. Just one of the best of all time. Mercury Blues is one of my favorites.
I bought a Hot Wired pedal used from a store because I wanted a Wampler pedal...the thing is my go to fosho for a small pedal board...you only need to add a delay and a tuner thru a good amp and you good to go...and a Boss EQ pedal!
You deliver so many amazing introductions, to people I’ve admired for decades. Like, no PR hype, just talking, in the habitat. Brilliant, and thank you. In the spirit of “abolishing the rack”, playing a Tele, into an amp, that helped inspire the 80’s / 90’s country revival - hats off to Pete Anderson for helping to usher that era in. Say I, ha!
All we musicians born in 1980's could only dream about seeing this kind of stuff when we were young and really got into music. I really hope this will always be available for new generations of musicians. Thank you.
Tom- it’s funny, it REALLY resonated with me as a musician living and playing in DES MOINES, Iowa- you were saying when guys ask if they should move to Nashville, you said “because you can’t get anything going in Des Moines” which, honestly- you’re absolutely right and I’ve wanted to make the transition to Nashville for quite some time. It is hard here to get anything REALLY going and off of the ground as far as making it past the normal bar circuits here. I just wanted to let you know how such a passing comment you made had such a big striking impact on me! It was one of those “oh whoa…that’s wild 😳” moments for me for sure. Thanks for all you do, Uncle Larry!
Uncle Larry we are so grateful for letting us in the room to meet these greats. What is always clear, you have surrounded yourself with really great people. Just listening to them talk, you can tell there a lot of good hearts in the room. This was great!
When I saw these guys in the thumbnail pic I made myself wait until I got home from work, repaired the fridge and got a beer in hand on the porch to enjoy this. The goats in one room!!!!
This is gold! Unbelievably valuable, these kind of behind the scenes videos. You made the entire internet feel like they’re hanging with the cool cats. Thanks Tom!
Hey Homeskoolers! It looks like I can't post the link here, but if you are interested in how I think Brent plays that lick, you can watch it on my channel. I play it in standard tuning, but the original key is g# , so you have to tune the guitar a half step down if you want to play it in the original key.
Holy shit man, that first lick with the acoustic is just, I'm going to learn it and use it. big time. the beaten to death Martin sounds phenomenal, Bryan is a giant, just him messin' a bit with the instrument on the background you can see the kind of guitar player he is. Then, everything about Brent is... well such an incredible player and such a sweet and down to earth dude, being as he is one of the very best. Same goes for you Tom. I didn't know who you were until about 4 years ago and I've been following you ever since. I simply put you up with the best session players of all time from Larry Carlton to MIke Landau.

Bucketlist: Beers with these three dudes.
For real.
Brent Mason, Bryan Sutton and Tom Bukovac casually talking music! So enjoyable, thanks Tom!
Brent is as nice a guy as there is. I am very honored to have him playing on my album. Humble and kind. Can't say enough good things about him.
Hey Buko. Great shit as always! Thanks so much for letting us in on the hang.

Always wondered how often uncle Larry and Brent run into and/or work with each other. And that Sutton dude is always a treat
I love how the person who made up the riff doesn’t remember but the other two players do 😂😂😂 So cool! Thanks for sharing!
That was my favorite part. Stream of consciousness.
Thanks Brian for remembering the riff. Now no one will ever forget it ! So sick
Great to see Brent in an interview!! He and brother Randy befriended me while I was in Nashville because I just showed up there when my younger brother Brian Steele was killed in a motorcycle accident and I packed up everything and left New Mexico to take care of his affairs!!

o Shania Twain (Love Gets Me Every Time)
o Tanya Tucker (It's a Little Too Late - the beginning riff is killer)
o Brooks & Dunn (the classic solo on Neon Moon, plus pretty much every other B&D song, like the beginning to Hard Workin' Man)
o Other Gems from Wayde Hayes (Old Enough to Know Better) and David Lee Murphy (Dust on the Bottle)
o Many George Strait songs (I like Lovebug)
o Too many others to mention, but this list above is a good taste - enjoy!
@@StevenRoby that’s awesome man. Thank you very much.
@@dutchi15 You are welcome! One more "deep track" I though of was Joe Diffie's "Texas Size Heartache". Lots of good licks in there - all Brent Mason.
@@StevenRoby great suggestions thank you

This video should have millions of views
Says too much about our world
Thx
Hey Tom, thanks for all you do for us Homeskoolers! And please give my thanks to your friends, for sharing their time with us today! Much appreciated!
As soon as I saw Bryan and Brent I said Sutton and Mason hell yeah those guys are monster players
That is one cool duo to interview.
Brent did a PRS workshop in Montana in 2015, drove 8 hours to be there. Waited until PRS dudes had wandered off and he was just standing there looking bored, ripped off my best poor rendition of Hot Wired, Brent yelled at me “hey, knock that off”.

I bought a Hot Wired pedal @ 12 years ago, still have it.
Content, voyeurism, geek stalking , whatever you want to call it I love and appreciate it. Thanks again, Unc!
❤SuttonSutton who’s got the Sutton. Thank you Tom for bringing us along
Maybe best episode
Thanks so much, Tom. What a privilege to sit in on a conversation like this. So much to be learned.
Bryan's work on Thile's track Raining at Sunset is magical. That whole record 'Not All Who Wander Are Lost' is an all-time wonder.
I was thinking the same thing. I see Bryan and my brain immediately starts playing his solo from Wolfcreek Pass. Such a burner
We all owe ya a round for this one ☝🏻
Sincerely,
Thank you all
Thank you for this video, Uncle Larry! It’s awesome to see/hear all of this. You asked excellent questions. I met Brent back in 2016 when I played in a band called Reverie Lane.

Jack Pearson made a statement once, that he looked at a mistake, as a note leading him another direction! Or something like that. Genius at work!!
Uncle Larry strikes again and with a vengeance, pure Gold....Thanks Tom, it's always a delight when you take us into the studio and get to listen in on the 3 legends of Nashville...
Brent is the man and i don't even think he realizes it.
Yeah I get it. It's a day job, but mind blown. Thanks you guys for taking the time. A guitar Trinity of sorts. No words.
Damn, thanks for this. I played live country during the 90s and it seemed like 80 percent of the night was playing Brent's licks.
What people do not realize is that if you walk down the street in Nashville...you will hear some amazing players playing 80's hits to tourists...to be at the level of Mr. Mason, Mr. Sutton, or Uncle Larry.....you have to be Uber exceptional...

Brent’s Wrecking Crew strap…such a legend!!!
Albert getting a mention ❤ Thanks for the video Uncle Larry

This is the coolest shit I've ever seen, Tom! Three of the GOATS in one video, talking shop. Thank you for this
Back in my TNN days we used to get off work at Nashville Now and go see Brent play in this club off Murfreesboro Road. I remember telling Chet Atkins he needs to go see this guy...
Damn that Martin looks good enough to eat
This stuff truly is a treasure that we can all watch for years to come. May just seem like an odd conversation to these guys but very interesting to people/fans like me.

Thank you uncle larry for doing these little talks. I grew up listening to all three of you and just to sit in the middle of your conversation is awesome
Most fun watching someone tune a guitar ever.
*that chord right there*
Daaaaaaaaamn

Just love getting to go behind the curtain to hear from the Wizards! Thanks, Tom!
And Brent doesn't have an Xotic RC Booster on his board? Gasp!!! (clutching my pearls here)
I hate ‘em.
Hell yea, fckn Peavey Special 130! I plugged into one several years ago and thought it sounded great, I have two of them now. Lots of versatility in that EQ section. Plus Peavey is like the cockroach Swiss army knife of gear.
❤ Dan Dugmore you played on my friend TomKell ❤️’s very last recording. Thank you so much Dan I miss that guy with all my musical heart.
The album Brent killed on was 1998 Danni Leigh- 29 Nights... If The Jukebox Took Teardrops!
Essential Brent pickin bro!
Forrest Lee Jr.
This is pure gold man.
You can watch a dozen interviews but it’s different being interviewed by a colleagues that have a mutual respect and understanding of each others work
I've had the pleasure of learning some Brent solos note for note over the years, they unbelievably difficult. The bending is so precise along with the movement all over the neck. Just one of the best of all time. Mercury Blues is one of my favorites.
Love these in studio nerd out sessions. You’re the best Uncle Larry.
Old Peavey fan here, glad to hear some respect for the old Special 130.
I bought a Hot Wired pedal used from a store because I wanted a Wampler pedal...the thing is my go to fosho for a small pedal board...you only need to add a delay and a tuner thru a good amp and you good to go...and a Boss EQ pedal!
I have one too!
You deliver so many amazing introductions, to people I’ve admired for decades. Like, no PR hype, just talking, in the habitat. Brilliant, and thank you.
In the spirit of “abolishing the rack”, playing a Tele, into an amp, that helped inspire the 80’s / 90’s country revival - hats off to Pete Anderson for helping to usher that era in. Say I, ha!
All we musicians born in 1980's could only dream about seeing this kind of stuff when we were young and really got into music. I really hope this will always be available for new generations of musicians. Thank you.
Tom- it’s funny, it REALLY resonated with me as a musician living and playing in DES MOINES, Iowa- you were saying when guys ask if they should move to Nashville, you said “because you can’t get anything going in Des Moines” which, honestly- you’re absolutely right and I’ve wanted to make the transition to Nashville for quite some time. It is hard here to get anything REALLY going and off of the ground as far as making it past the normal bar circuits here. I just wanted to let you know how such a passing comment you made had such a big striking impact on me! It was one of those “oh whoa…that’s wild 😳” moments for me for sure. Thanks for all you do, Uncle Larry!
Brent IS the Jimmy Page of country music....
This is exactly the type of stuff I fucking love watching on RUclips
Uncle Larry we are so grateful for letting us in the room to meet these greats. What is always clear, you have surrounded yourself with really great people. Just listening to them talk, you can tell there a lot of good hearts in the room. This was great!
Fuckin A dude - Brent’s tele is rode hard and put away wet! I love all the stories.
This is awesome. Thanks Tom
When I saw these guys in the thumbnail pic I made myself wait until I got home from work, repaired the fridge and got a beer in hand on the porch to enjoy this. The goats in one room!!!!
Wow Tom. We really do appreciate you going to these lengths to get amazing footage and info. This is a goldmine brotha. Much thanks 🙏💪
Always good to hear from Brent! One of my favorites for sure 🔥🔥🔥
This is gold! Unbelievably valuable, these kind of behind the scenes videos. You made the entire internet feel like they’re hanging with the cool cats. Thanks Tom!
Two of my all time favorites being interviewed by Uncle Larry. Such a treat, thanks!
This is so awesome Little Tommy! Love both of these guys, thanks for this!
Great conversation great stories ! Tom is so good in coaxing out some real gems in these chats!!
@501chorusecho Tom you have a Scammer who is impersonating you on this video
SCAMMER ALERT !!!!
Super great interview Tom! Never afraid to ask the juicy questions!!!! It would be so cool to go to work with absolute legends every day!
i think if i was in a session and brent walks in im packing up my guitar and letting him have it and just sit there star struck
Maybe we're not(good enough)!! 🤣😂🤣 These guys are awesome! Thanks for the share Unc!!
This is what makes your channel great Tom-thanks!
Hmmm " makes a distortion sound " that cracked me up.. 😂 legend..
Hey Homeskoolers! It looks like I can't post the link here, but if you are interested in how I think Brent plays that lick, you can watch it on my channel. I play it in standard tuning, but the original key is g# , so you have to tune the guitar a half step down if you want to play it in the original key.

Bryan’s okay too.
I really appreciate how genuinely curious you are, Tom.
Always interesting, never boring. Thanks Uncle Larry...
Three guitar players who couldn’t be more different… make three great friends and amazing content. Love this Tom!
Transcript of this wonderful episode actually showed up on the Yahoo scroll the following day, Homeskoolin's done gone mainstream!
RIP Robbie Robertson. Another giant oak has fallen.
Damn…..thank you Tom. These conversations are true gems. So grateful.
You see fellas this is the shit. The enthusiasm is real
Really Nice Video Tom.! ❤
Been waiting for Mr. Mason to make an appearance on this channel. Greetings from a Van Wert native.
Another great field trip Tom, thank you man! And thanks to Brian and Brent for their time and generosity as well!
I agree with all these comments. Great to hear these funny and interesting histories.
Thanks Uncle Lazza
Holy shit man, that first lick with the acoustic is just, I'm going to learn it and use it. big time. the beaten to death Martin sounds phenomenal, Bryan is a giant, just him messin' a bit with the instrument on the background you can see the kind of guitar player he is. Then, everything about Brent is... well such an incredible player and such a sweet and down to earth dude, being as he is one of the very best. Same goes for you Tom. I didn't know who you were until about 4 years ago and I've been following you ever since. I simply put you up with the best session players of all time from Larry Carlton to MIke Landau.
That lick from Brent that Bryan Sutton was trying to remember was the solo from ,'Calling Your Name' from Ricky Skaggs
Damn dude that was freakin awesome stuff Buk thanks guys Brian and Bret for your amazing talents and inspiration over the years ...👍😎
