I could literally listen to Biff Parsons play guitar all day.

[@ionlarry-uz3yl]

what the fuck is biff parsons

[@Ambracita]

That’s my grandfather Charlie McVay ;) I miss him so much. Thank you Brad for using my uncle’s G Bender. So happy to know my grandfather can live on through your music.

[@MrKharper123]

So cool

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@NoneMcNobody]

Legend has it that Brad Paisley's secret guitar teacher for decades has been Biff Parsons.....

[@guitarplayer7400]

Biff Parsons is the most underrated guitarist of youtube.

[@azcharlie2009]

Yes he is!

[@sichuancowboy]

This Bif Parsons guy is going to be a famous guitar player some day. Mark my words.

[@dreambeliever3652]

Keep it up Biff. One day you’ll be a star too

[@tonyleeglenn]

I agree Biff - Brad Paisley is a tool. You are so much cooler and more talented than that hack.

[@vincentreyes6154]

Brad was my main influence... until I saw this video. Keep rockin, Biff! 🤠🎸🤘

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@userjones3399]

Agreed!... He has a recording contract!.. So he is in the public eye.. BUT!.. do his credit at least he is chickin pickin with a telecaster hopefully the young bucks will be inspired. But he is an arrogant fuck!... Typical!

[@MajRatbag]

It is impossible not to like and be impressed by Brad Paisley, even for someone like me who is not into country music. I would love to have a beer with this guy. Brad if you're ever in New Zealand dude....

[@quanahthompson6000]

I trying out a Robin Trower Stratocaster in the Guitar center in Arlington TX. Some guy stood for several minutes and listened and said you sound like John Mayer, my reply was “I’ve been doing this much longer than John Mayer been alive”! I know the feeling.

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@AlphaTrinity]

He's so much cooler online

[@SHADOW-vg8rb]

LMAO

[@AOfuhSHO]

Slow clap

[@rockerune]

Best response ever

[@dinsangahnamte7401]

Hahaah

[@uziclip9387]

Was my favorite song growing up, I’d see the video on CMT every morning before school

[@liontone]

This guy is way better than Brad.

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@Eflatmajor7sharp11]

How is it possible I love Brad Paisley even more.

[@gkniffen]

Brad Paisley is one hell of a guitar picker. But Biff Parsons? Legendary.

[@Mr1Sundaymorning]

Country guitar hero with great sense of humour and humility, its not possible to not love him!

[@ronaldjohnston3723]

Mr1Sundaymorning man he is just a star.. He could of been one of the best rock or blues players too. This guy is off the chart and so humble.

[@timothyferiyadi5743]

Never heard of this Biff Parsons guy but he seems cool

[@jerrymorganjr]

Glad to see someone else using Paulownia. I make all my personal guitars from it.

[@MadTopHat1]

I wish Biff would get out there more. Biff is one of those artists that has so much class compared to Brad. Hands down a better picker. Keep up the great work Biff!

[@jddoctorwho]

STILL ONE OF THE BEST KZbin videos of ALL TIME!! 😂👍🏽🎸🔥

[@baileygibson5833]

Beautiful guitar, love the pick ups and the sound is so smooth. and the sparkly finish is just a bonus :)

[@MegaWumba]

Him and John 5 should collab

[@LyleStyle87]

that is a magnificent idea

[@monno2600]

I like that thought of yours, maybe Johnny Highland should join them too

[@rbanyaga]

The "G-bender 3" tour! That would be amazing!

[@GuitarAnus8]

+Jeffrey Osborne YES!

[@RezoNecro]

well what the fuck you guys waiting for. this show aint gonna promote itself… maybe it would lol. Get to work guys.

[@TheSWolfe]

Hey Biff! Just saw u on PBS playing that Shinola Custom in Morgantown (I grew up there, but was born in Moundsville, so howdy, my Glen Dale neigbor!) & knew she was something special by her sound alone (the sparkle didn't hurt, & the player wasn't half bad, either) so I looked 'er up & here she is. Sweet!

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@MiguelMartinez-vj3tu]

Im a metal head i listen to little county music. But im a big fan of brad paisley. Him and dimebag darrel are big inspiration to me

[@ianlonly47]

Me also. Only metal for me but this dude just ducking rips.

[@chrisangiolillo1596]

I'm pretty sure this is the guy making pizzas at the bowling alley.

[@justinhobgood4312]

Chris Angiolillo best comment ever

[@JasonMcFly]

In Nashville yeah, where everyone including the pizza delivery guy is better than me

[@bassboye8959]

Your right Chris, which proves: you just never know who we're talking to so it's wiser to be kind to others.

[@zjeo2]

Met him in person. Very nice man. Very humble! Great sense of humor too! 😁

[@davidfaas58777]

Its Thursday April 29th 2021 And You are very Talented #Guitar 🎸🎶 #BradPaisley #countrymusic #fan Dave In Minnesota

[@riverashe9814]

Brads not only talented but very humorous my favorite guitar player

[@songsfromspringcreekave821]

The boy can play! I don't know who that Brad Paisley cat is that he keeps talking about, but this guy here, can play.

[@bassboye8959]

Brad is excellent as well spring, much humbler, vastly more famous and has monster traditional right hand tech that rivals biffs.

[@timmytexlonghorns2206]

Biff your really going far in your career I saw you in a nation wide commercial

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@danmar007]

Ever notice that the best guitarists almost always have a great sense of humour: Tommy Emmanuel, Danny Gatton, Jerry Reed, Greg Koch, Glen Campbell, Les Paul just to name a few. You can tell how old I am now! :-)

[@wesleyrussell14]

danmar007 alex lifeson as well

[@Guitarmattms2010]

Not a huge fan of Zack Wylde but man can he tell a story. lol

[@primevalblades6984]

danmar007 it's because they're highly intelligent.

[@vincentreyes6154]

These guys, even Brad (Biff) have such great humor. Although I like how he made it very hard to tell who's who. Brad Paisley and Biff Parsons? They are so different. (Ignore their initials. 🙃)

[@zedmelon]

Instead of an occasional exception to the Humor/Guitarist Rule, we have Yngwie Malmsteen as the global anomaly. Highly skilled--but he knows it's boring listening to him for very long. That's made him grumpy and therefore an incredible dick to just about everyone.

[@Chakirisan]

How could you not be a fan of such a self deprecating guy that plays so well. Great sounding instrument, Bill Crook is an artist.

[@boozoochavis7506]

Poor fella - we ought to take up a collection so he can take some guitar lessons!! That guitar sure sounds good, Crook definitely knows what he is doing also.

[@rogerdodger5415]

That is HILARIOUS! I had no idea that Biff had such a keen sense of humor. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@bootstepswest]

Hey Biff are you related to Alan Parsons maybe you can do a Project together

[@louisparsons1968]

bootstepswest nah biff is my brother we’re no relation 😂

[@jimdiskin3760]

[@briandietrich1373]

Love Brad and Biff!

[@containmentking]

every week has a weekend. love your stuff brad. keep it up. saw you in morgantown. see you again in pittsburgh. thanks.

[@MrTuckBuck]

Being a Parsons myself I had to change my name after watching this to Biff.

[@leomorales1764]

Thats funny man

[@carsonparsons9366]

Same

[@louisparsons1968]

Same here buddy

[@connorparsons2587]

Same here man

[@satriapg666]

Lmao

[@marianhoffmann3067]

Yes, what amp was used here? Absolutely perfect!

[@jasontele]

Nice guitar! I had a blue paisley sparkle with g-bender back in 08'. They sound awesome! I plan on buying another sometime!

[@ukphonebook]

Thanks Biff...you just cost me $3k.

[@MrMd5555]

Can't wait for the next Biff parsons album to come out

[@oldmatrices]

Shit Brad paisley shreds.

[@zachmartin2355]

oldmatrices *whisper* it's biff parsons

[@akajoker666]

brad actually does shred hes a really good guitarist. glad i found this guy though hes great and demos very well

[@samvimes1083]

I feel bad saying it but I really wish he could play more and sing less. His chops are unreal.

[@tomfoolery2082]

Im agreein, the oboy plays jus anything he wants and well.

[@davidbakerscuba]

I would love for him to do another instrumental record. Also, he really shreds on his Christmas album too, lol.

[@stbluesjohnny]

Yeap, a great sense of humor Brad is a super Guitar player, & he has a 1968 Fender Telecaster paisley model, the original ones were covered in wallpaper I have one that I got used & the fool pulled the wallpaper off. Hats off to Brad & Biff ~

[@nsc217]

Very clear sounding and not ear pinching bright which is nice. Was this before Riverbank came out... Like Brad just stumbled on that riff in this vid?

[@Nash1965H]

Brad uses his own custom amps for everything. They're Dr. Z Amps. They are amazing, very exasperated, and worth every penny!!

[@backauf]

great playing with it almost flat on his lap at 2:50 My old guitar instructor would shudder at how Biff's position - mind you a Gibby 175 a lot to hang onto

[@jswart3179]

This is my new favorite youtube video

[@davidmartinez3412]

That riff at 1:49 is a slammin' country dream

[@SuperCyril2]

Thanks for sharing Biff👍

[@nededs1114]

i hate country but stumbled upon this guy. he's hard to not to like. thumbs up brad...may have to start learning some of those licks :)

[@Sheepleton]

Wonder what kind of fireproof coating they use to keep that thing from catching fire?

[@telecastoff1487]

Great video Brad, er...uh..Biff. Great playing and wonderful evaluation of that Crook guitar. Now, I'm wondering, which of you guys secretly hangs around Southern Minnesota? If it's not you, then you definitely have a twin or someone who looks eerily like you both! No kidding!

[@bassboye8959]

Twin sons of different mothers for sure. Only reason I clicked on, I thought it was brad LOL 😆 brass a nicer person truthfully.

[@Biblicalgiants]

Nice custom Tele. Brad have you ever played the cheap Tele HS squire bullet? Can you review one and tell us how it compares to the custom shop Teles? Good upload!

[@drock55551]

🤣 I don't like all of his songs, but I love Brad Paisley. He's an amazing guitarist with a great sense of humor.

[@ericheine2414]

Don't feel bad about being mistaken for being a Brad Paisley fan. Brad's the real deal. He picks it, plays it and he sings it. Iron American Dream on KZbin Share it. Take a ride across the promised land. I wish I could play like Brad. All I Can Do Is Write lyrics. So that's something.

[@drewselm9325]

This is the alternate reality where Barry went back and time, changed the past, and Brad Paisley is some random dude and our beloved Brad paisley is now Biff Parsons .

[@mftran]

That spanish Shania wood sounds great!

[@georgec6639]

Never lose that wonderful nature of yours... THX Brad

[@quoarebrill]

Biff whem u comming to the UK ,that Paisley guy even got his own radio show on the BBC, its hell there is no justice

[@sophiekyriakou8540]

WOW.!!!..... you light that guitar on fire to the moon and back.!!!!!!

[@johnnydepp4472]

[@andyhelloficial]

good Tele , sounds awesome !

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@24slipknot]

I would love to hear John 5 and Brad duel it out finger picking. It’d be amazing to watch.

[@EricMartinSmithOfficial]

Coolest Kat on the planet!!!...and who hits thumbs down on this???? wtf you smoking man?

[@bosszeroboss]

I don't like "country music," which is really just pop music with a bad faux southern accent with lyrics about trucks and tractors (about which the singers have largely never been acquainted). But I have to say I like this guy. He's talented, and he can poke fun at himself. I won't buy his music, but I do respect his tongue in cheek attitude.

[@jaredjohns9302]

Id say "pop music" is really country music with a bit of yankee twang talk.

[@chrismckinney5110]

agg adfgawdgv The New Country Maybe But The Old Stuff Wasn't

[@AndrewHank1]

agg adfgawdgv Authentic Country music ain't none like pop music. You should listen to real country like Hank Williams or Merle Travis, that may change your view on that concept.

[@warriorcaste4304]

I'm glad bro country is being called out now I've been waving the bullshit flag for years on it. There is still good country out there though. Here's a taste of some kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn-5Ymmqr5aBgZI

[@justinquillen7096]

What amplifier and mic is being used for this demo? It sounds killer!

[@BenEnos]

Hey Justin - Not sure what amp he used that day, but the mic is just a Zoom H4N with a line output to a Nikon D800 camera.

[@Nash1965H]

Brad uses his own custom amps for everything. They're Dr. Z Amps. They are amazing, very exasperated, and worth every penny!!

[@TDGinge]

You can see the amp if you look carefully.

[@davidbakerscuba]

He uses a few Dr. Z’s but mostly the Z-Wreck, which this sounds like.

[@dbaumann25]

not down with country music, nor any of his whatsoever; but his skills are on point. Great technique. And I really respect famous peeps that can make fun of themselves. Seems like a pretty cool dude too!!

[@Jonathan-L]

I love it when guys mix guitars & satire!

[@reesenemeth5163]

danmar007 Im 16 I listen to all those guys. I especially love Danny Gatton don't feel old lol

[@SuperCrackerjacks]

The real stuff

[@JohnBrown-hk6bm]

I like this guy, he's got cool, & a cool Tele too. Biff Parsons? Is he famous or what! How did his fingers grow long like that? Who makes his shirts? Does he sleep much or is it all practice? I'm told Paul O'winia is Irish Bog wood..........

[@reesenemeth5163]

brad gave one of these away at his concert i was at to a kid, I was so jealous lol

[@JRExpoDiscovery]

he gave away a squire he didn't give away a crook price difference about 3500 worth I have seen him quite a few times and its a squire the cheapest model money can buy

[@gratisboy121]

Jared Wright he gives away one of his fender signature models. They run about 850 and they’re far from the cheapest you can buy.

[@Louis-ef4eb]

How do we get you to replace John Mayer w dead & co?

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@witchbvrner]

Don't really enjoy his music but his chops are on another level.

[@shawnecaster]

Biff should do a collaboration with Chris Gaines??

[@Jonathan-L]

Would anyone know what amp Biff is playing into? Any pedals, or straight into the amp? That amp tone is something to die for.

[@CodyWolfeVevo]

+Jonathan L Brad likes his Vox amps he couldn't being them on the road so he uses Dr.Z on the road but in this video I believe its a vox with a weber speaker and a paisley overdrive

[@hayden3281]

neck at 0:51, bridge at 1:30, both at 2:51

[@stagesixx]

I dont know who Brad Paisley is, but I like this guy.

[@waynetozer3881]

Yeh man, that Paisley dude is sooo Hollywood! LOL. Keep on plucking Biff! 🙏❤️

[@andreitocandofacil1375]

Apesar de não entende nada do que ele gosta Fala kkk sou fã desse cara toca muito vlw

[@shreve38]

Great video! Which model Voodoo pickup is it?

[@MrPDTaylor]

This is the most gorgeous guitar I've ever heard.

[@danallured5806]

It wouldn't sound like that in my hands...

[@801tools]

Is that a jar of Shine on the amp?

[@shreve38]

Awesome guitar! Brad never fails to impress. Which model Voodoo pickup is in the bridge? Thanks for the video!

[@metalabsynth]

the specs for the guitar are in the description

[@genevawelsh9133]

I just found this video on my recommendations lol. I love how he's making fun of himself he's very humorous

[@85funnyguy]

nice tele whats the price tag 3 gend+?

[@noeffnwaypal]

I think we need a Biff vs. Brad Shred War. Then you can show that Brad guy who the boss is...:)

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@MrNalettinho]

Gosh this tele looks amazing D:

[@johncarlo7395]

Do you know what Biff I always thought Brad was the king of country players, but I think you are as good if not better

[@IamUncledeuce]

Not really up on modern country... I totally watched this thinking it was what it said it was! I was told several weeks later (in confidence)... "pssst hey, that really is Brad Paisley" okay... you got me... but I still am not a modern country listener. Old timey and backwoods fiddlin' - irish and celtic, jazzy stuff from Venuti and Grapelli, Clements, Bake, Gimball, (et al)... shoot, I can count on 3 or 4 fingers how many under 40 Hollywood actors I can actually identify... so these here rockin' county musicians are not alone...

[@johnnydepp4472]

Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music…❤️😍

[@reminaya]

I should introduce you to my buddy Shadoan. He'd say, "That dog'll hunt"...Biff would understand...

[@denboe2894]

Hey Biff. YO! Please let people know when they show guitars on ebay or ? where ever, let them know to shine a light on the instrument when taking photos.

[@bobpresla8001]

If I found out Brad had the same guitar as me I would sell it immediately !

[@gunzrloaded]

I think Biff's favorite is his Neville custom made tele's.......!!!!!

[@markmontaine626]

Great video. Amazing player. Im a big fan

[@godmode7128]

Caoba is oash, i would like to what of wood it's cuz i live in spain and i build guitar by and for myself...

[@ItalianTrollFace]

So now i find out my favourite country artist/ guitarist is also the coolest guy ever

[@arlenroth8373]

That is one cool-looking guitar!!! Cool picker, too!!

[@HuntFish1967]

Just caught the review and laughed my *** off! Keep rock'n Brad, I'm sorry "Biff". Bill builds great instruments.

[@freddymclain]

can you play through changes?

[@krellesverden]

it's biff parsons you real name?? cool :)

[@johnnydepp4472]
