    You would be hard pressed to find a more recorded guitarist and yet he is still down to earth enough to do a rig rundown video. He is truly a guitar player’s guitar player.

    The funniest thing about this to me is that fact that he seems to be almost totally dismissive of his pedals in the sense that he doesn't get into all the corksniffery that most of us mere mortals do. He literally said "I thought that was pretty cool so I just stuck that on there". He has absolutely nothing to prove and doesn't have to have a bunch of "boutique" stuff to sound great. He's a legend. Period.

    John Bohlinger does a great job on these, he provides enough to keep the artist "going", but then is happy to stand back and let things flow. Most people doing interviews want to be an equal in the conversation. Seems like John's goal is for us to hear the artist. It helps when you have a great artist involved. These are really neat to watch.

      It sounds like you're suggesting the key to sounding good is decent gear and practice or something.... I watch *all* of the TH-cam guitar content and it is very clear to me that I currently sound like shit because I don't have a Browne Protein, a Venuram fuzz, a TS10 and a Tone King Imperial.
      On a side note I currently have a Hudson Broadcast, a Zvex Fuzz Factory, a TS808, a Deluxe Reverb and a kidney listed for sale on Reverb if anyone is interested.

      Because that stuff is all pure mythology. Humans created this “myth” about them that they’re the “secret sauce”. They’re not. The secret sauce is a great amp, a great guitar, and HANDS. Brent would sound the same through a Deville or a Dumble

    • @CorbCorbin
      @CorbCorbin 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      He’s just playing around in this. I know many who can play “like” he does, but they can’t come up with those lines specific for the song. I think it’s partly what you’re talking about, with how he knows what and when to pull from whether the jazz, as well as other styles, for the piece of music.
      I agree about playing clean. I’m not a country player, but I’ve learned some Mason solos after hearing them.
      I always joke that he has so many epic solos, just wasted on bad country songs.

      I agree, they are all great players.
      But with all these chicken picking styles can you really tell one from the other?
      I guess most of them don' t have THAT unique tone you will recognize by listen after a couple of seconds.
