Check out Canada's Steve Pitico, ripping thru the very same tune, with all the same definition that Brent is doing...Thanks to Brent for writing this puppy.
Hope he makes a good living? LOL!! About 10 years ago he was the number one on call Nashville session player, and if you couldn't sound like him...you didn't work! He's been on literally hundreds if not thousands of the biggest selling albums of all time. My guess is, he doesn't have to work.
These guys make bank. They get union pay for sessions they play on. 400 for a 4 hour session. If you're the band leader you get double. He might even get more because he's in high demand.
BRENT Rules period. He is amazing and I too hope he makes a good living. Very few reach this level of talent. My good lord, it makes me want to just put the guitar back in the case.......WTF Brent!!...LOL
He is the top sessions player in Nashville. Follows a long line of great pickers like Ray Flacke, Phil Baugh, etc... And yes he does make a very nice living. He and Paul Franklin Jr on pedal steel is what I would call the dynamic duo!!
brent mason isn't even human. not only has he played and continues to play on practically every county album made in the past 30 years, he also has had time to release 2 solo records and is fluent in Jazz. probably a really sweet guy, but i hate 'im! ;) (not really)
As a guitarist for many years, this guy is one of the best. I like all styles of music (partial to Randy Rhoads and his 75 Gibson Paul and his Marshall Plexis, sweet metal sound), but knowing how to set the tone is only part of the equation. It's in the fingers. I really love Brett's versatility. He is an excellent jazz guitarist. For the poster who hoped he makes a good living...check out his MySpace page and all of the artist he has played for and draw your own conclusion.
God damn i hope he makes a good living... when I think of the millions of albums sold by punks that can barely power chord their way thru 1-4-5. ughhh.
@kvuo they all make a pretty good living. all those guys are first call players on their instruments, and have been voted best guitarist, best bassist, etc. by the Academy of Country Music multiple times :)
@kvuo He definitely makes a living. One of the top Nashville session guitarists. I believe he is on the billboard as you enter Music Row in Nashville :)
@kalahar007 As a Native Nashvillian, I'm guessing from your comment that you have'nt been to Nashville in a while, have you? No insult(s) intended. I only say that because "Music Row" no longer exists as it once did
15-20 Yrs ago. If you have'nt been to Nashville in a while, You, like I was, will probably be shocked.
Wish i could play 1/10th of what he does!

theres a reason why this video hasnt got a million hits, and thats because most guitarists dont know a true virtuoso when they hear one.
