This is a great song for a beginner just looking to learn the fundamentals of guitar.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time! Thanks Brent Mason, for being an inspiration and not an a-hole!!!

No matter how good of a guitarist you are, there’s always Brent Mason.

This guy is an amazing player, studio musicians are the backbone of music and can outplay most so called guitar gods

[@justsomeguy1074]

Because studio musicians are the real guitar gods!

[@PerpetuallyTiredMusician]

One would think the person writing the music that needs a musician to play guitar on it is the backbone of music. The need for artistic expression in a person is the backbone of music and art itself and the need and want to hone ones skills to get better at that very self expression is what drives music/art forward. Brent is a musician and a artist who makes art. The fact that you think what type of professional employment he has, how he makes money as a musician matters or attests to his skill and value as a musician... Well maybe you should try sports instead. Point is, being a session musician or playing in a band or being a artist does not actually factor into it at all. Peace

[@imagemaker5150]

Man, I could listen to Brent Mason play all day long. What a fantastic talent. He is truly my "country" guitar playing hero. When he and Johnny Hiland get together it's pure fire.

[@briannacery9939]

Finally, a camera that doesn't shoot the drummer when the guitar player is taking a solo! Love the jazz sounding chords and return to the country feel! Great yob!

[@SidLaw500]

He's an encyclopedia of licks, riffs, bends, syncopation, melodies, etc. Your gonna learn something listening/watching this guy!

[@gsmeeuwsen]

Brent's playing is always jaw-dropping but so is that RHYTHM SECTION!!!!

Is everyone just going to ignore that bassist just murdering it? Dude is awesome.

Agree! 👍🤟✌️👌

I agree buddy.The bass and the drums are both amazing too but this particular video is talking about Brent and his new guitar.

I thought we were supposed to ignore the bass player.🤣

[@trfisher78]

To the contrary, I was just about to send this video link to my brother so he could hear the bass player.

[@danieldonato]

Brent Mason is my hero. #COSMICCOUNTRY

[@musicmann1967]

Your video with this guitar was very cool! Very nice playing. And nice B bending for a guy that didn't own a bender guitar!

[@murrayelliott9956]

Not exactly so bad yourself !!

[@guitareveryone]

Brent Mason is my guitar hero too. Brent has spawned so many imitators that it’s too numerous to mention. And I can’t wait to receive this guitar. But like many that have ordered them it’s been a long wait. But it’s worth waiting for.

[@TCoulter1]

Such an unassuming personality. Never lets on to his ferocity. His toolbox is never empty.

[@AlbertNorris]

Brent is without question, my all-time favorite guitarist. I learned of him in the 90s when he was creating all those signature hit country licks.

[@julp8728]

I prefer Hendrix

[@AlbertNorris]

@@julp8728 That's certainly your prerogative. However, Hendrix certainly couldn't touch Brent when playing country or jazz. And Brent would give him a run for his money playing blues. But it's not a contest and your preference is valid.

[@charleshoernemann8661]

It's not Rock, it's not Jazz, it's not Blues, it's not Country...it's called Music! And Brent Mason plays Music (with a capital "M"). Mr. Mason, you are my hero, and I will get that guitar!!! 😊

[@stevenstabile4379]

Brent's an amazing player and happens to be a great guy and friend who was very kind to me when I lived in Nashville!! Actually gave me a PRS Brent Mason model which has become my #1!!! He deserves this honor from Fender!!!

[@18echosf]

Oh My! Brent is such an incredible player. Most players are very locked in to their style, but not him. Pick a musical genre and he’ll have you shaking your head! One of the very best musicians I’ve ever seen or heard.

[@davidh.8798]

Sick, sick, sick guitar playing.

He’s up there for me too. I’m unable to actually rank them anymore. I just have a personal top tier player “list”. Brent Mason definitely on it. Neon Moon is one of my all times favorite songs ever. Of any genre. The guitar work and other instrumentation is just perfect for me. Lot of the Alan Jackson stuff too. Just killer playing .

[@braderrick]

The man!!! Thank you Fender for finally working with Brent. Just when I had almost given up on new Fender, you have redeemed yourself.

[@kurtmullins5519]

The TONE! From the first note to the last... Great tone. Then. The very last note of the video. Sublime.

[@kausikghosh9968]

Sir a Deep Respect and Honour to Your Parents and GrandParents who have influenced you to play Guitar from Such a Tender Age and who's Blesssings are with You and Your Blessed Talent.

The last tune, My Little Ballerina, I used for a slide presentation for my daughters dedication 3 years ago when she was a bub. Almost 5 now, time flies. Currently paying off one of these teles, can't wait to get it home and lock myself in a room for 6 hours or more...

It's a fantastic guitar player playing a Nashville tele with a Gibson pickup in the neck he even says that

[@David-Gerard]

William Mills what is a Nashville Tele? Just the B-Bender? Seems like a general purpose Tele to me. Great blues and rock guitar too. And he could and does play riffs from all those genres. Great player.

[@charlesbolton8471]

I've studied Brent since he came to Nashville, I was very young at that time he was and still is the best they got , not knocking all the youngsters, just giving the man his dues.great video thank you and God bless

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Wow! Just wow! Best, most “exciting” country guitar player since Albert Lee. What a wonderful introduction to Brent Mason. Beyond cool! 🙏

[@patrickfoster4586]

Yes! Albert Lee was a freaking monster and ol' Bret is certainly no slouch. He has a lot of Albert's phrasing but also incorporates so many styles. Bebop, jazz, rock, blues, reggae- he's got a taste of all of it in his brand of country. An amazing player. He's one of those guys like Scotty Anderson- every time he picks up a guitar he blows your mind.

Not to disagree but you should also check out Tom Bukovac if you dont know him already. He's another incredibly versatile Nashville session guy

What a fitting and humble innovator to have his own signature guitar . Well deserved glad they chose Brent . Thank you fender great choice.

[@grocnrollgrocnroll5465]

Baba, you’re absolutely right! I had the enormous and unexpected pleasure to meet Brent after one of his shows a few months back. He’s obviously a monster player but also such a down to earth person, too. So refreshing!

Wish every metalhead & shredder were made to play with an undistorted sound & learn some chops like these!!

[@JackKincaid..]

One of his best guitar work I've heard is what he did on Alan Jackson's, The Blues Man. Absolutely beyond beautiful.. Would like to meet Brent one day. It's on my bucket list.. lol

[@robertlennox3607]

I love Brent's guitar tone, just sounds so beautiful and so precise for every song he plays.

[@michaelhermsmeyer2155]

One of my favorite players and one of my favorite guitar evolution stories! Joe Glaser is an old friend of mine and he introduced me to Brent decades ago! I’ve listened to both of them talk about this guitar and it made me so happy when Fender decided to build this guitar and honor Brent correctly! I played one yesterday and it is a phenomenal instrument!!! Kudos to everyone involved!!!

[@robinmorris5416]

Man, Brent deserves all his accolades, but let's talk about that badass, bass player who absolutely killed it in the 2nd song. Being a bass player myself, and I'm no slouch, but I grew up playing primarily rock, blues, r&b, when people start throwing down the jazz licks I tend to get a little punch drunk. But this was something else, I stayed for the whole thing!!

[@gunzrloaded]

What a great guitar player he is....! Thanks for all the licks over the years Brent....!!! Cheers

[@guitar78ish]

the b-bender story brought this to mind: some time back I saw a video, where Rodney Crowell was saying, way back when, he was playing live with Vince Gill and decided to pick up Vince's guitar and started pulling the neck down trying to get the b-bender to work only to find it didn't have one. Rodney couldn't believe how accurate Vince's bends were, he always thought he was using a b-bender.

[@dylangreen9819]

Wouldn't be hard to replicate the pickups and wiring. Paint is just primer gray. Have joe glaser install a bender and you got it. I love them old squiers. I have an 87 squier tele and I love it. Great guitar

[@najmihakimkhairi1210]

If you do partcaster it will end up like a same price

[@dylangreen9819]

@@najmihakimkhairi1210 Eh could definitely do it cheaper depending on if you do the bender or not. A new glaser bender is 600 installed

[@ck2music712]

I dig your style, hoss! I'm sure MOST guitarists would tell just to spend the money and buy the Fender cause "Squiers are just beginner guitars", lol... My comment was 3 years ago, and I forgot it, but I was just thinkin that I could buy another '50's Classic Vibe Tele and make one like these, functionally. Honestly, I don't even care about the primer color, I'd want one that had a similar vibe, but maybe a different color. I live in Nashville and all, but Mr. Glasier is outta my price range, lol, but ANY good, functional B/G Bender would would work! @@dylangreen9819

[@ck2music712]

​@@najmihakimkhairi1210Dude... Absolutely NO offense intended, but that's crazy... Guitar bodies cost $25-$80, you can get a decent neck for $50-$70, Tuners are $30, a bridge is $30-$50, $40 for a pickguard and electronics, you could get the pickups for another $50... Am I missin anything? Oh yeah, B Bender- $40 for the Re-LapZ version, or even $170 for the Peters G/B bender. That's around $280 at the lower end, and these B.M. Signatures are $3000 for the regular models and $10,000-$12,000 for the Custom Shoppe version... $300 is most certainly NOT $3000, hoss, that math ain't quite mathing, lol... Literally the ONLY way that a "Partscaster" would cost as much as a production model would be if you just hemorrhaged money and bought ALL the EXACT same (or better!) parts... Stop and honestly think for a second, hoss; If building a "Partscaster" version ACTUALLY cost as much as buyin one of these $3000 guitars, Fender probably wouldn't be able to make any profit off these, huh? It's all good, there's a TON of people out there who have NO idea how much it would ACTUALLY cost to build a decent guitar, cause there's a lot more guitar players out there than guitar builders, lol.
