    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!!!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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’!!

    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!

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.
