A lot of people say Nashville produces cookie cutter hits, but there is a reason they use these players. These guys are as good as it gets. They are utterly amazing and thats why they are AAA scale players making the big session bucks. Man unbelievable!!!!!!
Vince’s tone here is freeg’n ridiculous!!
Simple Tele, cranked tubes... raw magic!!
Unforgiving crying snortin tone that gives back what you put into it... manipulated beautifully by Mr, Gill!!!!
Man, Vince's tone is to die for in this video.
Just love his Solo
His tone has always been the envy of many. It matches his playing and personality perfectly. For most of us country music musicians, he is Elvis lol. Anyone know where to find the full show from this?
vince Gill has been around 30 yrs and has one good song. That’s it.
@@brandonvandelden7972 hahahah whaaaaat?
@@brandonvandelden7972 it’s okay to be wrong, but you shouldn’t be so confident about it.
I grew up on rock and roll but there is nothing like good country guitar playing...period! This was a bit of everything..country, blues, and a bit of jazz thrown in...great stuff!
Mason and Franklin on the same stage - The sheer mass of talent is enough to have the room collapse into a black hole 🕳
That bass player too. Don't know his name but he's everywhere. Played with Bonamassa many times.
@@wileymMichael Rhodes
He passed recently actually
@@bobbiemiles-foremaniii8747 That's a shame.
Brent and Vince are incredibly accomplished at what they do. I love that country twang.
Mason is a beast and a true session player-- Gil's tone tho'
RIP Michael Rhodes, what a treasure you are to so much music we all enjoy today!
One of the Best session Bass players in Nashville. Saw him many times with Bonamassa. RIP Mr. Rhodes.
That is a deep pocket! The whole band is smoking and so expressive.
These two guys are all rounders when it comes to playing. Country, Blues, and probably anything else you could throw at them. Vince once turned down an offer to play with Dire Straits. And here is the killer, if you are recording a country cd and you come from anywhere in the world these guys will actually do the guitar work on it for you. You send it away to them and they send it back with them playing on it. Cost a fortune most likely. Fantastic talented musicians.
Kim Keltner once said that when you are a studio guy, you have to kiss a lot of frogs.
The talent on that stage is RIDICULOUS!!!
I saw these guys play last night (minus Vince Gill) at 3rd and Lindsley here in Nashville. They were just absolutely amazing! They just got back from a 3 week tour in Japan. It's the most times theyve played together in a row so they were very tight and playing off each other VERY well. Brent Mason just can't hit a wrong note!
I also love the groove Michael Rhodes on bass ALWAYS lays down!! All of them - love it!!!
Michael Rhodes on bass is one of the most expressive players and always nails it. Thank you! Great jam!! Tight!
Agreed!!
And, he seems relaxed, and humble, and spot on every note.
Michael Rhodes just passed away last night per Sadowsky Guitars.
@@wmichaelstephens1530 Oh, no! 😢
That's a big loss. I loved his tempos and pocket.@@wmichaelstephens1530
VGs Tele is the best I ever heard...And his playing is beyond great...
I read where his tech claims that this one is the "perfect" tele. No argument here.
Vince playing some of the best blues ever.
People sleep on Vince Gill's playing but he's masterful. He rarely full on shreds it, but he shows incredibly tasteful restraint. Every note is perfectly chosen. Great with bends too -- reminds me a lot of Don Felder. He can rip it as well as anyone, as I'm sure anyone who has seen him play a lot of guitar knows, but what sets him apart is how he chooses to play. He's a true master of knowing what notes to play and when, kind of like Billy Gibbons.
That’s because Vince knows there is SO MUCH MORE to playing a guitar than mindless shredding.
Vince Gill played his ass of on that solo... lots of soul in there. Vince deserves more credit than he gets as a guitarist. he's one of the guys who developed the country style we play today. And Brent is Brent... whatever planet he came from aint getting him back!
It is wonderful to know we have guitarists who have grown up with all the very greats gone before them & now play super music too & we can relate to various styles love it all.
you gotta love that blues gurn at 3:36!
and vince gill's solo tone is superb.
Vince is really good but Brent is on another level... greatness is what it is
Vince is right up there with Brent. Both can shred. There is no other level beyond Bluegrass and chicken pickers.
You are so right, Brent’s hometown is fifteen minutes north of me.
Brent is one of the best recording artist in country music today. This guy has it all going, tone, clean notes, a touch of jazz flavor, versitality in finger picking to flat picking, and he makes it look so easy. Then you add Vince in this video with his style and E.Q. and it is just a mind blowing guitar session to die for
Both Brent and Vince picking together is fabulous. The bassist (Michael Rhodes?) now tours with Blues guitarist extraordinaire Joe Bonnamassa ( who is worth your attention).
Vince's lead in is the definition of tele blues. It just drips with three saddle soul!
Tequilaisbadmkay You have captured it better than I've ever heard it said before. Vince's playing is on loan from God
so true such a perfect lead solo.
He rarely plays blues as well, Yet he’s still a monster
@@batmandeltaforce sometimes we don't need distortion.
NO-----DOUBT!! Damn fine!
That is as fine as a blues solo you will hear, constructed perfectly and what feel.
Vince! The feel/tone/bend king!
Incredible jammin', I basically a rocker who is now a chickin pickin' convert,...I saw the light.
What's cool about Brent is that he knows it all , country, jazz, rock, you name it! A Guitarist's guitarist!!
Great video, lots of heavy hitters on stage here. Paul Franklin, Vince Gill, Brent Mason. Some real greats here, thanks for posting
Phew !. These boys don’t rehearse in separate rooms !. Fantastic all round, Monstrous ! !.
This is so awesome !!
Did anyone else happen to notice that Vince Gill played some of the tastiest blues lix ever?
And, that is another of many reasons why he's the high priest of country music.
Yes, I did notice. And I don’t limit Gill to country music; I believe he’s one of three best guitar players (any musical genre) alive today.
The Blues would have been better if he turned off the cowboy effects. They were perfect for the head , but really killed the power of his great Blues playing. I agree he knocked the riffs out of the park, but a raw sound on the Blues stuff would have greatly improved the performance.- dirty dom
I couldn't agree more
I've heard him say in interviews before that blues is what he plays for himself.
@@dirtydom4785 I see where u coming from, but Vince is Vince, he is about his tone and that's it.
Brents a really good friend of mine actually all these guys. Were proud to have these guys in Nashville. I work with most of em' and I'd promise you they'd tell ya ya outta hear some these guys no ones heard of that aren't on tv. lol. I love living here.
Country Fusion, niccccccce... That was enjoyable, Gill's note selection was of the highest level.
Never get tired of watching this clip! freeking fantastic!
Hey, I've heard Scotty Anderson play live a few times....I don't know how you could possibly think he's boring. I think Brent and Vince would agree that he's one of the top Tele Pickers around.
Wow . . . Vince as the blues guy in the band . . . these guys are both so amazing it just puts a huge smile on my face. And I love the guy on the Hammond.
Saw him with the Hellecasters-live they were jaw dropping John Jorgenson-on so many hit records and an amazingly nice guy
You even hear a little Allman Bros. in there. Little jazz, blues and country. Awesome!
wow 2 of my favourites together... just awesome..thanks to JP!!!
and to the 16 people that thumbs downed this...I feel sorry for your lives, may they get better and more filled with joy!
Every time I re-listen to this I am just completely in awe of Vince Gill, Brent Mason and the entire band.
I see these comments about getting mad and burning guitars. Don't do that. Get you guitar out, "try that at home", and then find someone to listen to you. I used to feel that way, I've stood beside and played with Tommy Emmanuel e.g. and I'm an amateur that wants to set my fingerboard on fire. Wrong attitude folks. These guys are phenomenal yes, but you need to practice and gain experience, you could do the same thing one day.
David L. Whitehurst Well put David, it's just something I like to do even though I will never get this good. Thanks
+David L. Whitehurst Thanks, Dave...
+David L. Whitehurst Good attitude, man, and good advice. Wasn't it Stan Getz that said the same thing? The only way you'll get better is to play with better players.
You da man Dave.
When I listen to good stuff that just makes me wanna play it!!!
Wow is all you really can say after seeing this clip.Huge huge fan of paul franklin and brent mason amd vince gill as well.This group of guys I would have to say are the best in the world at what they do.Just Ausome!My hats off to these guys.
I have not yet found another tele player whose tone I love more than what Vince Gill can squeeze out of that thing.
Great picking! Sounds a lot like what Steve Morse did with the Dixie Dregs back in the day: sort of a country and jazz fusion.
Yes, and the stuff he did with Albert Lee on The Introduction album.
Yes Jesus is our best friend the music has a spiritual side to it ,,thanks for playing it playing
couple of truly talented guys. Amazing
I sure love to hear Brent Mason Play Guitar !! Vince Gill had a nice compressed blues tone as well .. fun tune =)
I was in the studio in July watching Brent Mason playing on an album, that I co-wrote, for a European artist. Fantastic player and all around nice guy.
If I said the word awesome it would only be an understatement. Im in awe at Brent and Vince
Probably the best band ever assembled in Nashville on any single occasion.
It’s like the trinity with Paul, Vince and Brent! You just can’t get any better than that
Other than The Notorious Cherry Bombs, which was Vince Gill (vocals, electric guitar), Hank DeVito (steel guitar), Emory Gordy Jr. (bass guitar), Richard Bennett (electric guitar), Tony Brown (keyboards), and Larrie Londin (drums)
So tell me how I haven't seen or heard of this incredible video before? Damn analytics let me down. Brent Mason AND Vince Gill playin' their asses off together? The definition of incredible-that was sweet ladies and gents! Brent doing his telemonster thing and Vince into some deep Tele blues, just love it-thanks for posting this even though it took me a century and half to get to it!
Brent is unreal great, but that blues run by Vince, that sound was mind blowing
This is what I like! Country, blues and even somwhere elements of jazz... Mmm... Tasty!
Eddie Bayers drum fill at 3:50 WOW!!! Basic but incredible.
What a joy to listen to these incredibly gifted musicians jam. I won't burn my guitar, but man speechless with these folks. Awesome! I still can't Liza Jane or Hot wired to sound anything like those beasts.
Brent Mason is amazing - he can even play a tasty blues.
I knew Brent was a monster and knew Vince could damn sure play but I never heard Vince play the blues like that. WOW.
i never even heard of Mason til today .... this guy is phenominal and Gill is perfect as usual (killer guitar player!)
You may never have heard of him but you have heard him since his playing is on thousands of recordings.
Real musicians playing some unreal music. Any one of these players could front on their own. Playing for the pure joy of it.
If you like this kind of music.......then move to Nashville.............I get to hear it every weekend...........it's not unusual to go to a diner and find Brent or Vince sitting next to you. Moved here from Brooklyn NY..........will die here.
Is that the great Paul Franklin on steel guitar. I've seen him play live, he's freakin awsome. I wish he would have played a long break. And I'll hand it to Vince, you've got to be very brave to play next to Brent Mason.
My pleasure, thank you. Vince had a worried look on his face for that one, but alas up for the task. Mason is very quick and very precise and very cool.
Jazz, blues and, country got hammered, fooled around and had a baby... named it, "Don't Try This At Home". NICE!
"...And this is why we use telecasters kids!"
Yesssss !
😂🤣 Right!
Yes
💪🏼💪🏼
It's a tele's, it's a tele's world, but don't mean nothin' without folk like this ❤❤❤
Love 'em both. Vince's tone is smouldering here.
you're so right. I think i've already said it somewhere in these comments but just had to say it again. I was being impressed by mason's preciseness, speed etc etc... but then gill chimes in with a solo that just blew me away. goddam amazing.
Glad you enjoyed brents irish tour i was the other guitarist in his backing band he really is a great man to work with ...
I really hate to tell you guitar players that are arguing about how it's done. I do happen to know, either you have it or you don't. Don't fret though, very, very few people have the ability to profess themselves as Brent Mason. He is just one talanted, gifted individual. Once you can admit that, then you can continue to meet your own goals. It is an ART, no doubt and not everybody can be as artisitic as Brent or Chet.
OMG - Vince Gill can play the shizzle out of any style. God bless you, Vince Gill
I love that slap-back tele sound!! I want to try hybrid picking now!
This band is just perfect. Awesome musicians!
So many amazing players in the 'Nashville' realm. Love it, thanks for posting all that time ago.
Don’t mess with Nashville cats or you’ll be sorry!!!!! Brent is a legend vince’s tone is top drawer
a great way to start your morning listening to this! thanks brent and all
Love it!!! Great to see real talented musicians like these guys doing it right.
Nashville pickers jyst blow everyone else clear out of the water. Astonishing tone and inflection from Vince.
This tune is indeed off "The Players" dvd. It is out of print but can be found used. They play a few times a year live in Nashville. Not an easy ticket to get i think.
Perfect collaboration.
chinton90, Thanks for the reply. I realized that was probably Paul when I pulled this page again today. Found out Michael Rhodes is the bass man. He honks for sure!! I've seen him on a number of videos.
all the love in the world for great musicianship. happiness extrodinaire
Brent: So Vince, this is where you take your solo.
Vince: Ok, can you slow it down 150 bpm for my part?
Looked like Brent had an AC30 hiding behind that guitar rack. Or am I seeing things?
i keep coming back to this too ... SO good! but it makes me want to hear the piece they did just before this! - Vince is finishing up as this starts .... ANYONE have THAT????!!!! great stuff!!!!
The "MUSIC" was excellent and I enjoyed it immensely without caring who was faster and better and picker etc...
I'd love to play with these guys some day God Willing. That bass player is great too.
Gotta love Brent Mason!,Vince Gill has sweet tone in this song.
Most amazing tone in Vince's rig and his blues is extraordinary! I heard him play something similar on a vintage ES335 that killed me! Also Brent is a beast! Geeze!
Listening to this much talent is truly an excellent way to spend the afternoon but I must say the Bass man is fa-nom-i-nal.......
Ok so I get an invite to Nashville and go down with some friends and were sitting at 3rd and Lindsley this past tues night listening to Brent Mason and the PLayers! About 12:30am Brent asked "Hey Vince you wana come up and sing us something' He had snuck in with his duaghter Jenny. So he goes up and does "Whenever you come around" and then they do this song with Vince there!! OMG!!!! HEAVEN!!! Once in a lifetime experience with maybe 70 ppl there. Vince singing and playing live is amazing!!
Oh My ....wow Brent and Vince...and sessions players looks like..unreal. Thanks for sharing.
It's on a DVD called "The Players". All Nashville session guys doing a concert with their favourite artists as guests - Shawn Colvin, Vince Gill and others...
You can almost hear Vince, right before his solo, saying "hold on now fellas...let's enjoy this ride a little."
These guys are all on top of their game.
That blues section!!!
Damn....I love Brent Mason and his Telecaster ❤️
Wow. Those blues licks were smokin’ Great playing
Vince was on fire with this vid....some tasty blues runs there...
Vince so versatile....i remember his rock days with Pure Prarie League, him singing "Amie"
I never heard of Vince until I heard his name on a Johnny Hiland record. He squeezes out those blues real nice. Great tone
Gosh, he makes bending that 5 sounds like butter. Now I know where Anastasio got it 😊
to everyone talking bout how awesome these two are . they have said time on the fretboard is what it takes to get good . and so has Brian Sutton . take their advice . since I started playing more I have gotten much better .
In the dirst edition of Clapton's "Crossroads" event, Gill gives the guitar lesson of the day. Ain't nobody better than this guy.
Everybody i knew that was in to sessions wanted Brent especially back in the nineties. Man hes fast as hell.
