"It's got a different pedal sound to it so I can go- (awesome riff) but if I go- (awesome riff) there's a little more of that- (awesome riff) as oppose to- (another awesome riff)"
-Brad Paisley
Lol. Ikr🤣🤣🤣🤣
And yet you understand him perfectly. - not sure why I am commenting on a 7 year old comment to an 8 year old video.

Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Zeke Wilson Instablaster :)
I am not even a country guy but I will listen to Brad just because of his talent. And he's a really solid dude. I saw him give a little star struck kid at a concert the guitar off his shoulder. He literally pointed, handed the guitar to the kids mom and said "get him some lessons, here's his starter kit" and the crown went nuts. That is a good dude
He is a very underrated guitarist. He should be up there with Chet Atkins, Jimmy Page, and the rest. The man is very respectable and a good role model.
That is an awesome story man. I see you like Megadeth too. you got good tastes
His real name is Chad Baisley
You don't have to like country music to know this man can PLAY!
Absolutely!!
He plays about anything, country is just his payday. He’s a master.
I like how he literally let the guitar do the talking.
Connor Nepomuceno I
his guitar playing do that talking lol that guitar is beautiful but I tell you right now I'd probably play totally differently on it lol
You mean figuratively.
He plays beautifully. I like his stuff with John Mayer.
Literally
I'm not American nor a country music fan, but Brad Paisley is one of the most underrated guitarists in the world. What a talent!
Brad, about every 20 seconds: "And I just love what it does to the [oh here let me just spin something off the top of my head] ......and if you listen to the [and again] ....but it just makes this [good Lord, this guy can play!] sound so much more musical. [extra lick for effect]"
Madly jealous of this man's guitar skills
I'd rather listen to Brad Paisley play guitar than all the shredders at all the Guitar Centers in the world.
He can really play!
true that! i feel that way about junior brown. I love and play metal but i cannot stand alot of metal players they wank with no taste or feel.
sure you would dude. give it ten minutes and brad would drive you nuts.
you listen to what you like thats it. has nothing to do with shred or country or any other style.
I'd rather listen to John Petrucci solo all day instead of all the country twangers on the planet. He can really play!
Listen to buckethead once
You can go ahead and skip this comment section, it’s all “I don’t like country...but this guy...”
I gotta tell you, I dont like country....but this guy....j/k I do like country but most country guitar seems to be pretty simple compared to some other genres. Brad does so really intricate work that makes it much more interesting.
@@Knoxvillemoto country guitar playing is some of the most complicated and difficult genres to play on an acoustic guitar which is what country is played on. If you're thinking of today's country, then yeah, it's not that complicated...but once you start moving into more alternative, red dirt, especially bluegrass....you'll find some of the world's best guitar players playing bluegrass-style music. Tommy Emmanuel, Bryan Sutton, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Richard Smith, etc... Playing acoustic...there's no hiding behind reverb or "effects" like you can get away with with an electric guitar in other genres.
I like some country and this guy's one of them I like.
If you like this you should give his Christmas album a listen.
You don't find this kind of talent in country very often. The last 20-25 years have been populated by horrible musicians in country music. So why would anyone expect Brad to actually have some chops?
I refer to Brad as the "Dimebag" of country! Trust me, it's meant as a HUGE compliment 👍👍😁😎
I have to agree with you there but Ricky Scaggs also plays like this or did
Vince Gill can also shred
John 5 can shred a tele with the best of em too.
@@donaldennis8218 x's FDR
Phenomenal guitarist and song writer. One of my all time favorites for sure 👍
Brad Paisley visited Guitar Center Nashville back in 2013 to discuss his "G-Bender" Fender Guitar Telecaster. Learn how it works.
Mcvay bender, look him up!
Never heard about this till today
Brad Paisley makes me want to play country guitar.
It looks just like his signature model except for the rosewood fretboard and the Glaser string bender. Fender should release this one.
You can now buy a b ender, already installed from fender...last I heard was it costs somewhere around 600 bucks to get one installed
.
Dang... been playing guitar for 21 years (11-32), and I just now... today... I am seeing and hearing about these "benders" for the first time...
Not a big country music guy, but I listen when Brad Paisley plays. One of the most under rated guitarists around
We hear so much praise given to players like Van halen, Jimmy Page, Kirk Hammet and the list goes on and sure those guys are very gifted musicians but country guitarists like Brad Paisly dont get near the credit they deserve and can play just as good.
God, you're so right... It's because he does country that he's not as respected.
I think it may be because in Modern Country, people listen more to the sound and lyrics and focus on the looks of the artist and so great country guitarists don't get enough recognition
Cameron Peterson yup that's it. I just found out about brad paisley and country playing in general. I played metal for a decade and learned sweeps, tapping, scales and all that but I hit a platue so I looked into country playing and damn is it difficult to me, the hybrid picking is killer.
Fernando Moreno yup... I tried his mud on the tires solo, and Damn does he have control over that guitar
Years ago, someone was asking Eddie Van Halen who impressed him most at the NAMM show, and he just said, "I'm going to watch the Albert Lee show!"
Mmm. Nationwide must be on his side
Chicken parm you taste so good.
High quality comment
Brad Praisley is easily one of the best modern guitar players. I love his sound. The guy is great!
I love that Brad lets his guitar finish his sentences.
"I love that I can just"
*plays guitar riff*
"Or I can go"
*plays guitar riff*
"There's a little more of that"
*plays guitar riff*
Editing
Megazap no. it’s a fluid take. There are guitarists known for letting their guitar “talk” for demonstration purposes in interviews because only other guitarists will understand the language. John Mayer does this quite a bit as well.
Brad Paisley might be one of the most underrated guitar players of the modern generation. Right up there with John Mayer.
Both are at the top of my favorite guitar players. I want to see Brad join Dead and Co. 😂
@@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC John Mayer is an average blues guitar player at best. What he's really amazing at is being a total dickhead. I was around him in his early days and his ego makes checks his guitar playing could never cash. Brad Paisley however is a true talent AND a good human. If you want to see a truly break out guitarist check out Tosin Abasi. He's the best guitarist to ever live, and he's incredibly humble.
john mayer is the furthest thing from underrated
@@vexedpixels he literally had A LOT of recognition this last few years.
@@vexedpixels So much so he has shared the stage with the greats. BB King and the likes.
Going to start listening to more Brad Paisley now. I had no idea he could rip like he does. I’m just a drummer but mad respect!
“Just a drummer”. Yeah, right. You & the bassists are the meat & potatoes of the song! I’m a keyboardist, so I’m more like parsley. (Hey, there’s my new stage name… Brad Parsley!)
I could do a little more. twang twang... as suppose to.... twang twang twang.. and sounds little like.. twang twang.... love his explanations :)
ken masters I laugh everytime I read this. Thanks for the laughs!
Because words just don't seem to, well, ... twang twang ....
This is about the most truthful comment on the internet, and I love it!
I was just thinking that!
Wang dang sweet poon twang
He's really good, just like Keith urban. They both are definitely talented on the guitar. Wish I could play like them.
You can do it..just give it practice and a little time.. I believe in you and everyone in the comments 🤘
one of the more underrated guitar players of this time, for sure.
Brad Paisley is one of the most underrated guitar players of his generation. He's got killer tone and such tasty licks.
I am not a country guy, but brad paisley has been one of my biggest insprations as a guitarist and a songwriter in most of my guitar playing "carreer"
Hes for real. Damn.... Brad has skills.
As a guitarist I'm into Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan and even jazz players like Joe Pass and fusion players like Eric Johnson......but this guy can really shred, I really need to check out guys like Merle Haggard and Albert Lee. Brad Paisley is a joy to listen to and learn from.
chet atkins too
Johnny Hilland is one of the most proficient guitarists of any style, ever. He's not terribly well known, but any guitar player worth his/her salt knows him.
Joe pass is a frickin beast
Phoebe L. Dad's Danny Gattons dead now but he was a tele master
Phoebe L. Jerry reed
Brad paisley will always be one of my favorite artist. Doesn’t matter if you hate country. You gotta recognize his talent on a fret board.
I've watched more than a few of these guitar center videos today but this one was by far the most entertaining.
I tried to have some fun with one of these once and my friends thought I was having a seizure... Saying that this adds another difficulty level to playing is an understatement
I could literally sit and listen to Brad pick ALL DAY LONG!!!!!
I never knew this type of guitar, the bender, even existed. I’m amazed and it sounds so awesome
Thanks Brad that was a real treat.
When I was a kid Roy Buchanan was the first guy I met who had a b-bender. I was 15 I didn't touch his guitar. I'm a big fan of yours.
You pick it and you sing it.
That makes you the real deal.
Thanks again.
"Iron American Dream on TH-cam"
Been playing for 20+ years and this is the first I've ever heard or seen of this! Pretty cool
I've been a guitar player for decades and played in several bands along the way. This guy is a chicken pickin' king on that 6 string! Not too big on his mainstream pop country music but I am absolutely impressed with his play.
Not a country fan at all, but damn if they made instrumental country that sounded like what this guy is playing I would be all about that.
Check out Brad Paisley's album called "Play", it's mostly instrumentals.
you HAVE to check out that album. It's mostly instrumentals, and it sounds amazing. :)
Get Brent Mason's 'Hot Wired' album. He's a killer player.
Check out play the guitar album.
You know they DO
Awesome video! We saw Brad Paisley at the 99.9 KISS Chili Cookoff last Sunday and he was fantastic! Puts on a great show. You can tell he really enjoys performing and he interacts with the audience more than most performers now days. He took cell phones from audience members, took selfie's, gave away a guitar and the hat off his head. We really enjoyed his show. He's not only a great country music singer, he's a great guitar player & performer.
Being an avid fan and guitarist of 80's/90's Classic Rock / Metal guitar bands. VanHalen, Extreme, Dokken, Metallica, Hendrix, Satriani, Gilmour, Clapton, Paige, you know, the greats. After hearing Brad play over the last few years, He is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He got the gift handed down from God.
It makes me sick to listen to him play because he is that Damn good. I'm not a country player but I wish i had chops like brad.
Jacob Stratton practice
Fuck he's good
I saw him in concert the other night. It was incredible to say the least.
@@rossreeder387 he usually is, he’s always been one of my favorites
I don’t particularly love country music but I’ve played guitar for about 16 years and I love this style. So wholesome. Most ppl wanna learn the ridiculous sweeping, tapping metal riffs which are great. But this is much more relaxing to listen to imo. Cool bends
I could study 3 lifetime's and not be able to play like that. Thank God for Brad Paisley so he can do it for me in this lifetime.
he plays a lifetime of licks in 3 mins........
right ?
I've been playing guitar 30+ years now, an old metalhead 80's dude, but have always had a country taste. I NEVER KNEW such a device existed. I've even built a few a guitars. My mind is a bit blown right now. And I never knew Brad Paisley was such a badass guitarist. I will be diving into this further.
B-benders have been around since the late Clarence White - then of the Byrds - did "Sweethearts of the Rodeo" with that band. It was once called the Parsons-White string-bender, in honor of him and Graham Parsons. G-benders came along later. As did devices like the palm pedal, which allows any of the six strings to be raised or lowered in pitch. B-benders got a big boost in Nashville in the 1970s,1980s and after - when legendary Tele-master Albert Lee started using one on sessions at various times. He was one of the top guys in town at the time, so after that, a lot more players started looking into them. Got to love those steel-guitar like sounds!
Lol why the dislikes? Just cause people dislike country? I’m not a big country fan and I can still acknowledge that Brad’s a hell of a player.
It’s always fun to watch someone talking in a foreign language! 😆 🎸
I saw him by coincidence like 15 years ago. I figured, hey, I like his hits. My jaw was on the floor from beginning to end. He never played the same thing twice. As a guitar player, I was equal parts crazy inspired and crazy knew I would never amount to anything. Weird sensation, but holy crap this man is a revelation and my respect for his abilities is through the roof
Want to get even more inspired then listen to Will Ray John Jorgenson and Jerry Donahue individually and as the Hellecasters. Where does one begin? Incredible.
I met Will Ray at a guitar shop near Seattle. He was doing promotional demos for G&L and discussed his B-bender.
Will was badass and humble!
Great guy!
Brad has always been an under rated guitarist. Not a big country guy but always appreciated his music and guitar style.
Nice Brad- the B Bender and the G Bender are kind of mystical things to most of us. First you got to find one. Then you have to have the time to screw around with it.
You got to go out on a limb and buy one, or have one built.
Very slick. Thank you
Dude I always wondered why country dudes wiggle their guitars like that I seriously thought that’s just what country guitar players did like it was like wearing leather pants in rock and roll
hahaha i love that
same here!
Lol right?! Long before I knew what a bender was. 😂
Had no idea this guy was this good.Sounds awesome
Brad. You are the man! Every time I hear you your playing gets better. Thanks.
Maybe its b/c I really have no musical talent but, I love watching a musician play their instrument, especially the guitar. I'm simply amazed at the coordination/ability it takes to do what he just did.
im a metal guy all day. but brad is easily one of my favorite 5 guitarist of all time
Guitar Center Brad Paisley can play. Seriously, forget B-benders, whammy bars, just listen to the picking and the tone. As a guitar tech myself, I always enjoy listening to Brad's playing. He can make any guitar and any amp sound great.
Have a great day!

#bradpaisley
Sammy Bones Him and Clarence are unique.
exactly there just small enhancements . to an all ready savage player . with or without benders he has it going on .
First time I ever discovered a G bender and watched a video about it. *MIND BLOWN*
Saw him live and continue to at the Rodeo. This guy can shred, and I appreciate that he can navigate the guitar as well as he can.
Would love to see a Brad and John 5 collaboration
Never been into country but this guy is a champion at his craft. Amazing musician
My friend opened for Brad on tour for a long time and told me Brad is a total guitar nerd!
Brad Paisley's playing continually blows me away! And I lean towards metal and progressive rock...
I got to see Brad at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, before he was super super famous. .. 2000 or 2001. Just him, and acoustic guitar and a microphone... He was amazing.
Also met Keith Urban there once....
Damn I never realized how difficult it is to play country tunes like brad paisley. I also never realized how great of a guitarist brad paisley is.. He is wicked good and I respect/like him as a person/musician, he's the man..
I love old school country, and he's legit.
YOU are one of THE VERY BEST! I recently bought a TELE 40th Anniv Squier, with the idea of having a Certano G & B Bender installed on it, which I did. I love it, and although Certano is from France, David Certano gave great customer service. And the Install process is not as severe as what I saw you had to do on installing a B Bender using the Gtr strap. I do remember the Byrds doing it first. Other than Brad, I've also seen it done by the Eagles as he said in this video, but also Diamond Rio and Alan Jackson's lead Gtr player. The sound is distinct. The idea came from my buying a Dobro from the Jackson Steel Gtr Co, that had a special EDGE Bridge on it, that bends 3 of the strings, 2nd, 4th and 5th all at once. It is set up in E Tuning for that reason. Still getting used to it, but I had played a pedal steel and a 5-string banjo yrs ago----not at the same time-----haha, so also fingerpick a Gtr and was used to that. With the Tele and Bender, that process is just a bit easier. I just wish there were some YT LESSONS on the Certano Bender. Thanks for this video.
Im a les paul guy for ever but damn I like those teles with b-benders Im so getting one
Gibson had a limited edition model in 2013 with a string bender. It was called the Music City Junior. It is an LP Jr. shaped ash body in a natural finish with a maple neck and fretboard with two P-90s (don’t know why they called it a Junior instead of a Special) and the Glaser string bender that can be used on the B or G string. I really want one, but they are insanely hard to find now.
What a killer guitarist!!
Brad's a great picker...it's what drew me to his music and still keeps me coming back
As a predominantly Djent/Metal player, Bead Paisley is in my top 3 players. The man can absolutely SHRED.
anybody know what pedal he is using for his slapback? it is perfect.
I like the sound of a G string. "That's what" -She
I have one of the first few of the Parsons-White B-benders. I've had it for over 25 years and love it.
Paisley is one of the most underrated guitar players in the world.
Im not a country guy, but he got some really good playing going on. Kinda reminds me of Jerry Reed a little.
+triggSerable Im the same way man. I hate country but he is a beast of a guitar player
+triggSerable I think Brad is the most influential Country guitar picker to come out in a good while, he is a hella of a picker
+rbagel55 He's definitely one of THE greatest guitarists picking these days. Not a big fan of the country music of today, but there's no denying Brad Paisley's skills & chops.
+MetalCarn we dont have to get into a deep discussion about this, but why do you hate country? Do you immediately dismiss it before listening? Maybe I am being unfair, but in my experience, when I ask people, they said its "because it's about dogs running away and people crying on their farms". And I cant think of one song, ever, that has anything to do with that. Regardless, yes, I've done well trying to emulate other guitarists but for whatever reason, trying to play like Brad still eludes me haha he's really good.
The Post Color Blog
He probably thinks that. Perhaps he young
and has a narrow mind. I know I did when I was young. I was a rocker, Led Zepplin,
Montrose, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath
and the likes. It isn't that way nowadatys
for me because I am a musician myself
and I like any kind of music whether it be
Rock, Metal , Country, Jazz, Latin, or Classical.About the only stuff I don't like is that
extreme metal (screaming shit) and hardcore
gansta rap
Really surprised at how nicely he plays. Country stars don’t get enough musicianship credit
Real country is one of the most difficult things to play. I don’t even dare go to country.
Brad is in my top guitarists list - like my list matters! Most of my favorites are from back in the day: James Burton, Roy Nichols, Clarence White, Albert Lee, Danny Gatton, etc. Brad took all of the great aspects of country and jazz and blended it into his style.
It's very Good to be a Blues man , a Country man and some Rockn Roll........ full circle .....taste it all....because you can
Not a fan of country but still found this interesting
Some of the country guys are great guitarists. Definitely overlooked some..
Holy hell I love country music and I had absolutely no idea he was this amazing! Damn!!!!
All these years playing guitar and I’d never known what a g-bender was. So very cool.
Me to...
Don’t listen to country, but this dude seems pretty legit
I've never been a massive paisley fan, but I love country. The term "country," just like rock, folk, blues, etc is such a massively broad term that people shove a whole ton of different styles into cause its easier to market. Dont dismiss a genre (any genre) just because of the name of it, research and find different styles and I guarantee you'll probably find some shit you dig everywhere
Well said Tyler because most of the crap they call country today Just aint. Makes me wanna roll ma wyndo down literally. I like the older music of every style better. It's more authentic to it's roots.
Brad’s always been one of my favourite players. He’s a phenomenal musician. Songwriter, guitar player, entertainer. Everyone should check out his first 3 albums, the guy was smoking back then. He kind of went the bro country route after 5th Gear but hey they all do to stay on the charts
Saw him in concert once. Surprised at how well he could play,even shred.
that. is. so. COOL!
I need a G bender man! B)
Amazing that so many people don’t realize what an accomplished guitar player this man is.
Brad paisley melts butter in his right hand while paving roads with his left. They come together on his tele (g bender) to make the most soul jerking riffs.
ALSO MADE IS A COMBINATION B@G BENDER IN 1 GUITAR , COOLEST DAM THING I EVER SAW !!
Say what you want about country music but there's no denying Brad is one of the best guitar players ever. Seeing him live was the impetus that made me pick up guitar.
I'm a straight up death metal fan. 45 years old. Grew up on Napalm death, obituary, chuck shuldner. And my number one favorite guitar player is Brad Paisley. And EVH...
Brad Paisley at Guitar Center! They just earned some serious cred!
G-bender or not,I still wish I could play half as well as him :(
No kidding,damn he's good
i also like the sound of a g-string, but i like the looks of it even more.
:D
Modestoney not if you ever saw my uncle wearing his....uuhhhhggg!
I'm not much of a country fan but this is dope, brad definitely knows what he's doing
Paisley. Amazely! And the tone from that Tele! I have yet to hear that from any that I've tried at GC.
Before I watched this video I hoped I could be as good as him someday, now I see that is impossible
Came here to talk shit about brad but after watching this vid brad is a great guitarist !
Check out Chet Atkins. Or Vince Gill. That's the beauty of live music, you might think you don't like something, but you watch someone play and find yourself really diggin it. Waylon Jennings is cool electric country. I'm a hard rock and funk fan, but the country guys can play!
Brad is the real deal, just like Keith Urban.
Here in Texas, country music is something that you can't escape. But I love it and play in a country band. My friends, however, have their opinions. Lol. So I'll show em someone like Brad and they quickly change their minds.
Mooseboy08 Keith is a beast!! I got some free tix to see him in Austin like 5 years ago. I went, not because I was a fan, but because it was free. I was blown away!!! He's a killer guitar player. I was sold when he played Devil Went Down to Georgia.
Saw Brad in concert last year, he did an epic cover of Hot For Teacher.
Zac Brown and his band have some other-worldly skills too
I don't listen to country but I have major respect for the musicians talent in the industry
If you can play like Brad, you hardly need this gadget; but he makes beautiful use of it! Thanks for this nice demo.
