Brent Mason - Swing With a Sting

Brent Mason performing Swing With a Sting at the Nashville Guitar Community Show at The Family Wash in Nashville Tennessee

[@dbbubba1]

There is just so much Jimmy Bryant in Brent's playing and that is magnificent!

[@diment0857]

What a fine display of Western Swing from some of Nashville's greatest, Bob Wills is looking from above smiling.

[@hearpalhere]

Wow, that is hot playing by everyone! Loved it all, thank you!

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

The more I see and hear of Brent Mason, the more-impressed I get. That man has some "big ears," and he's capable of playing a whole ton of different styles of music. Taste galore, too, and the chops to do what he hears. Creative as heck, too. Brent, if you are reading this, just two words: "More, please!"

[@gsmeeuwsen]

I came here for Brent because I love his playing, but the RHYTHM SECTION is INSANE as well!!!!

[@fotofavoloso267]

I lived in Nashville from 96 to 2016..........great city.......great talent........the finest city for anything music.......not great Italian food........but everything else AWESOME

[@marcblum5348]

These Nashville guys are such killer players.

[@stringbender57]

Man these guys can play! Brent is a killer guitarist and Chuck lays down a sweet solo as well. Dave is as smooth as glass on bass providing a nice fat bottom end. Scotty is an amazing young fellow. Give a young drummer a set of brushes these days and they won't have a clue what to do with them. Scotty plays a tasty solo and keeps rock solid time throughout the entire song with them. This is a great combination of musicians. I really love this tune off of Brent's 'Smokin Section' album!

[@christopherhanna5754]

It's a display of how hard he has studied and learned from other jazz guitar players benson, montgomery, Martino, hank Garland et al... I wish he would release a straight ahead jazz album... guy is so good it hurts..

[@JordanHigginsGuitar]

Look up the album 'Smokin' Section' by Brent Mason.

[@Moneyxsharks]

I hear Kenny Burrell in his playing too.

[@countryguitarplayers]

Not many could hold their own up there with Brent. Well played Chuck!

[@glassslide]

I could listen to those go back and forth all day and never get bored, just sensational guitar playing.

[@garymcaleer6112]

I just saw Brent's "rig rundown" interview today taken back in '06? Same guitar and amp. He mixes string gauges for his best sound. Great technique with an ear to boot!

[@jimmywaynelakeandbradlakel3742]

The other guitar player is very qualified and makes as great duo with Brent , amazing guitar work great bass and druming

[@voodootele]

Was watching the other vids of this show and thinking, man that bass player is killing it, then the camera angle changes and I see its Dave Roe!! No wonder it sounds so good!!

[@robb3652]

Brent has that tele making two sounds...open smooth sounds like a hollow body but some hard attacks bring it back to the tele twang. His ricochet, echo solo partner is all tele.

[@dbduke88]

Four virtuosos, one of them a guitar genius, making great music.

[@KekoBassPlayer]

This is amazing!

[@jesuscontreras8986]

Two great guitar players !!!

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Absolutely brilliant! :)

[@alancassett137]

holy hell- Brent is awesome

[@guitarpicker6844]

Real talent in every aspect.

[@jp-uk3gf]

Wow,I would love to,one day,see Brent Mason play with the french guitarist,Bireli Lagrene,I think it would be a fantastic duo!

[@cathyberry8400]

Joscho Stephan ;)

[@mikeyscott7864]

they are all great, that's why they are playin with brent mason

[@randybock82]

Brent's tone was great and sick licks!

[@musik102]

This is great. I love Brent playing this swingy stuff.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

He's got great ears for jazz changes! I hope Brent does a swing or jazz album sometime; I'm sure it would be killer. Harkens back to the good old days of the 1950s and 1960s when the Nashville cats cut hit country records by day, and jammed on jazz afterhours in the clubs. Hank Garland and all of those greats.

[@JordanHigginsGuitar]

@@GeorgiaBoy1961 Have a listen to his album 'Smokin Section'

[@davidratliff807]

Good grief! Awesome 👏🏻

[@ernieflanaganstingraybassm1463]

RIP, Dave Roe... What a remarkable bass player.

Brent..excellent jazz guitarist.

Let's not forget David Roe. Monster bassist. Fluid AF.

He's killing it isn't he?

[@markginsel4238]

[@garymoore8711]

Interesting to see cowboys in the background enjoying jazz!

[@kenbash2951]

These guys are making it look like Leo had it right back in 1949- the Tele is all you need:)

[@analogman9697]

What a group!

[@modgiemodge261]

Excellence-all involved

[@rylieriley]

Just goes to show what can be done with a Tele type guitar in the right hands. Never underestimate the importance of the Telecaster, or it's versatility.

[@pauloelferro]

Tha neck pickup sounds!!! Realy Nice!

[@RickDanner]

this is a great guitar player

[@fredzietal7042]

Wow! Now this is what a pro sounds like.

Love that you see Brian Wampler stick his head around the corner 😂

[@FriendGaugeShotgun]

daaaaamnnn,,, I woke up thinking I was good at the guitar.... Then this

[@luciantaylor9161]

You know you’ve made it when Brian Wampler is recording you.

[@stevenmaddock4237]

Ive been playing for years and only just discovered Brent.. I really think he’s an amazing player Take ‘virtuoso’ rock players and put them in this setting and they wouldnt have a clue!!

[@tomstiel7576]

you got that right

[@brokebackbasement]

I call that jazz

[@hot88s23]

Who's the other guy? He's killer! Mr. Happy on bass not too shabby too.

Mr. Wampler cameo @0:40

I hadn't caught that until I saw the comment haha

[@youKnowWho3311]

Get outta my shot Brian Wampler. LOL. I see him filming in the back.

[@connylundstrom9378]

Good bass player to.

[@adams4244]

0:48, It's Brian Wampler in the background manning the other camera!

[@donfilkins298]

Just a question ...is swing ... jazz or country western. Amazing musicians

[@fotofavoloso267]

yes

[@smuffjules]

Western swing

[@hot88s23]

It's music

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

It's the way Nashville cats play jazz. All day, the top players in Nashville do session work playing country and other popular styles, but come the night-time and a chance to hang out together, they often test themselves by playing jazz, western swing and other complex and challenging styles. Back in the day fifty or more years ago, guys like Hank Garland played jazz and country, too, waxing sides in both genres to critical and commercial acclaim and success. Hank could play country & western with the best of them, and then hang up his cowboy hat and become a jazz-man playing smoky clubs in NY City with the cats. Garland could do it all. Just like Brent Mason, whom I am sure could hold his own in a straight-ahead jazz group or role.

[@GMCSir]

@ :40 seconds isn't that Wampler Pedals walking on the right of Brent?

[@gimmeeinboxback3860]

Ya, you know your good when Brian Wampler is filming you.

[@LedGuitar1218]

Remember when music was good!? Kids these days have no clue. Shit, I’ve turned into my grandpa. Gotta go to bed now, 7pm

[@laurieharper1526]

Would love to see Brent and Scotty Anderson playing together.

[@stringbender57]

That would be cool! They are both from Ohio too! Must be something in the water up there that producers super Tele' pickers.

[@coskukaya9706]

Is it Brian Wampler at the back as a camera man?

[@daw162]

yep

[@flintlong2937]

What's the drummer's name? Anybody? He's great!

[@rasm0225]

Says Scotty Schultz on title card during his solo.

[@flintlong2937]

@@rasm0225 Thank, man I don't know how I missed it the first time. I did get though, and I called him. We're gonna do some recording in the near future. He's a very nice person too, in addition to being a kick ass drummer!

Why do they all look like they're not having a good time? Relax your mind Brent and your ass will follow. Great player but not enough emotion for me.
