Thank you for this. I'm probably speaking for everybody who watched these, but I would love Brent to expand his solo catalog.
Agreed!
I tell ya...country music was blessed to have Brent Mason come along and share his great talent in Nashville and across the air waves via all of his great recordings. The ordinary person has no clue how much he has contributed. You gotta be a musician or an artist to really appreciate what he has done. Live long Brent Mason!
One of the most important players in the history of country music. Zac
Yes sir I think many guitars would totally agree
I grew up with this guy. I had to have every record he was on. I had to figure out every lick that I could lol. I played in a working country band in Fla when he was pumping out the hits and he didn't stop! What a time.. He very well may of had more impact on country music then anyone we will ever see! His signature is on more hits and number one records than anyone! This guy is just the best! Thank You SO MUCH for these videos. Brent Mason, you are country music............BTW I had Jim Roth hot rod the PU`s on a few of my Tele`s just to have that Brent Mason sound!
He is one of the all-time greats. So many guys, including me, had their guitars modified like Brent's. Zac
ok, waiting for 3. He's been interviewed a bunch of times but I don't think anyone has drilled down into the history he represents, really connects the dots for me plus shows his fun personality.thks
He has such an amazing story, and we loved that people get to see what a funny and charming guy he is too.
If I owed a dollar for every lick that I learned off Brent, I would be dead broke. My biggest influence. Thanks for posting Zac!
You are so welcome! We just filmed another Lounge episode with John Jorgenson. Zac
As a long time dedicated Brent fan I have to say, these are the best and most relaxed interviews interviews I've seen. I'm loving it!
Thank you Jason. I had no idea how funny he is. Zac
Brent is THE Nashville Cat! Clean as country water, wild as mountain dew!
YES!!!!!!
Brent is such an amazing picker. From chicken pickin' to jazz to blues to rock.
Loved the jazz diddy at the end. Great interview.🎸
It’s really awesome that you asked in-depth on his work with artists like Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn, it’s stuff like that that is SO difficult to find interviews on. It would have been such a shame to have a guy like Brent NOT talk about his work with those artists-his guitar parts on some of those songs were really influential to guitarists like myself. This channel is quickly becoming my favorite corner of RUclips. The general public massively undervalue how much guys like Brent, Derek Wells, Rob McNelley, etc. really influence the sounds of records coming out of Nashville. Most people see “Alan Jackson” or someone else’s name on a record as an artist and just assume that he must have written all the parts that people played.
Also, the “there’s only 5 parts you can play on a country record” part was just hysterical. I love that you kept him on it for a minute, too!
I must tell you my friend...I truly enjoy all that you do. Thank you for doing what you do!!
You are very welcome
Exceptionally good interview with Brent! Looking forward to the next episode. 👍🏼
This coming Thursday for part 3.
These long-form interviews really allow artists to open up about their music. They are a cut above most interviews I have seen. I don't want to pat Zac Childs (and Truetone) on the back too much, but he does his homework, knows about equipment, asks intelligent questions and seems to know things about the artists and the Nashville scene that they don't even know themselves. :) I have heard Brent Mason inteviewed before, and I never knew he was funny. Another thing I like is that you are not "selling" your product. The quality involved here inspires me to check out Truetone equipment. Some of us music/ guitar nerds really appreciate your work. :)
Thank you @MrMusicguyma. I do my best to do my homework, and we all make a very concerted effort to have a quality show with journalistic integrity. Zac
Love this. Can't wait for part 3.
Thank you! Watch for it next Thursday
I love you Brent❤
Great interview, keep them coming!!!!
We will!
Hi, this series is just great great and Brent seems to be such a nice, easy and unpretentious guy to talk to that it complements his merits as the guitar master that he is in a really pleasant way.
Made me listen to that "New Nashville Cats" album again after really some time and I'm very happy having been reminded of it!
That album was my real introduction to Brent also. Zac
Great interview with one of THE greatest
Got to work early and listened to all of this interview. I always liked those hard driving lead guitar notes on Alan Jackson, and Shania Twain records.
Brent put his stamp on those albums. Zac
Huge thanks for this interview, great stuff!
Thank you Diego. We love doing them. Zac
thks for the part 2, been waiting for it!

I loved it!!! I can't wait until the next one
Soon!
This is really interesting stuff Zac..great delving into the productions with Brent.
Thank you Grant. He was so much fun to interview. Zac
Another great episode. Thanks Zac.
Thank you Dan. Zac
Great interview!!!!
Amazing interview! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to more!
Part 3 next Thursday. Thank you for watching. Zac
Thank you Truetone...these interviews are like stories about Tom Brady or Jim Brown to us guitar guys
At 20:53 the song Brent is referring to, but can't remember, is the intro to Love Gets Me Every Time by Shania Twain.
I can’t stop watching amazing
When Brent went like " Did you do your homework?" I couldn't stop laughing...pure comedy there,in a good,positive way
Fantastic interviewer and subject. The way it should be done.
Thank you, Lonesome Rhodes.
Superb interview. Loved it.
Thank you Bryn
These are super cool interviews!
Thank you!
Excellent Interview!
Thank you Franco.
What an excellent interviewer.......
Great player.....
Great interview! Thanks for that guys! And I like his new Wrecking Crew strap 😊 Q: since when has Brent tuned down his main Tele by a half-step?
He had it tuned down for the session he was at before the interview. He does not normally leave it tuned down.
Holy cow, hearing about the Chattahoochee session is the coolest thing ever! Too many notes? How funny! Can't even imagine that song with a note-ier riff.
These videos are just infinite amounts of inspiration..
I loved that story too, the fact that Alan had input on the guitar part. They are inspiring to me too! Zac
The best of the best ;-)
Mercury Blues is one of the best instrumentals ever.
This is awesome and I just purchased a Truetone CS-7 power brick. That's all, thank you.
Fantastic!
Great interview...!!! Brent Mason is surely one of the best..!!!
When's part three coming?

Check this out. www.allmusic.com/artist/brent-mason-mn0000518268/credits
Brilliant interviews! Anybody know what the tune is that Brent plays in the outro?
"First Rule of Thumb"
When's part 3?!
Today!!!!
He reminds me of Kenny powers! Lol
Does he have finger pics on his on his fingers. Whats going on with the middle and ring finger?
Gregory Stone fake nails bud.
Fake nails on 2 fingers
That's pretty rad. Man he can pick.
Yes he can!!!
That's the 90s country was the best
Wait is his tele a b bender??
Yes, it has a Glaser B-Bender. Zac
@@TruetoneFX crazy I've never noticed or heard that. Is there a good place I can find more legitimate info on his tele? Thanks !
More legitimate? We talk about the guitar in depth in the gear section. ruclips.net/video/U8JC-nnXboA/видео.html
Brent was too nice when talking about the digitalization of recording music.
Autotune, programmed drums, the ease of importing samples, etc. That shit killed the soul of music. It's why modern music has been so blah for 20 years and it's why studios have been dying. Now they're working on artificial intelligence to create even more lifeless music.
From the days of Chess Records, to Muscle Shoals, to the era of the Wrecking Crew, to Sound City studios. Those were the golden years, and the 90's were the last great decade of it.
