Trey Hensley - Bending Your Ear (Volume 7) - "Guitars, Cybertrucks, Hillbilly Music"

Thanks for tuning in to another "Bending Your Ear"! Sorry for my huge delay on this....I can't promise it won't be another long wait after this one, but I'll try my best. Doing some sessions this week - thought I'd go through some session guitars.

This is the kind of playing I love and aspire to. The songs are "filled" with sound. Some guitarist just strum along and use their voice to play. Hearing songs filled with sound even though it's only one guitar and not a whole band is just amazing.

Hensley sounds Amazing! 🎸😎 Rick Beato ! Fantastic!

[@huntleygray4469]

You are such a true inspiration and a phenomenal guitarist! I hope to be a guitarist like you one day! You are amazing!😄🎸

[@jkey2u815]

Love the guitars. So nice. Thanks for sharing Trey...

[@chuckskarsaune3149]

Thanks for bringing Bending back! Really enjoy these.

Nicely done Sir! I learned to play on a nearly identical Hummingbird! It belonged to my then girlfriend and soon to be wife. Lost track of it after we divorced in the early 90’s but when she died suddenly at 43, I made certain that was the one thing (the only thing) my boys got from her estate. I have it again for safe-keeping for a bit since my eldest is in the military and my youngest is in another state. That Gibson has again become my go-to. It’s a Family jewel.

[@JohnGriffith-w2w]

Hensley sounds Amazing! 🎸😎

[@AaronHardinPhoto]

No questions Trey, just thoroughly thankful to hear you play and sing. I can't imagine the hours and hours you've devoted to your craft. As a listener, I'm thankful that you have and are sharing that hard work with us.

Happy birthday, Larry Sparks. One of the originals and still putting out awesome records. Great cover of Blue Virginia Blues.

[@pickersgrip]

Great video Trey! Great guitar Trey. Huss and Dalton is right down the road from me.

[@shanedowney6503]

You have a gift . Thanks for shareing

[@jeanlucpain7214]

Always incredible Hensley!👌

[@kne2323]

Really enjoy your videos and just talking guitars, music, etc. Going through your collection is so interesting since almost every instrument has a story behind it. I have a couple old Yamahas that aren’t super collectible but have interesting stories behind them and it makes it fun to play them. Look forward to hearing more about that wall of guitars behind you!

[@papamurphy8737]

Good hearing from ya boss, was great seeing you in Oregon & can't wait to see you again. Hoping the strings stay in tact 🤞

[@CreatingChangeGB]

Looks like guitar heaven.❤

[@sean_oquin]

The STP stuff was bad ass! Great playing as always my dude.

[@MitchelWild]

Ayyye!!! Bend my ear brutha! I missed these.

[@wesscollette]

One day, if you keep at it, you may make it! Awesome job as usual.

[@1bunderwood]

Trey your playing is amazing as always. That's really awesome about the DeLeo brothers. I was a huge STP fan back in the day and saw them 3 times. I saw them once at Smith's Olde Bar in ATL back in the early 2000's when they started the Army of Anyone project, I’m a huge DeLeo fan. It was around my birthday and we used to cover a lot of STP. After their set Dean hopped off the stage and came right over and started talking to us about everything music for about 30 minutes. Dean was a huge influence, it blew my mind. I've got a couple clips from that show on my YT channel. That signature Huss and Dalton is really nice 👌

[@bobperu1]

Keep having FUN....

[@njkwolverinek6449]

Hey trey! Been a listener for a while now and i know youve talked about just like learning by ear and stuff a lot. But have you ever sat down and really learned any of the scales or anything like that or have you simply learned the notes just from generally playin?

[@DanielRobert-mx6sk]

You're a amazing guitar player and i have a song in mind if there any chance that you can play is all i want for Christmas deer is you ? Thank you in advance

[@travis8947]

Doc & Dawg at the beginning?

[@mrcurtis73]

What song are you playing in the beginning of this video, Trey?

[@TreyAHensley]

@@mrcurtis73 East Tennessee Blues

[@mrcurtis73]

@ thanks. I’d heard that melody before, but wasn’t sure what it was called. Might have to learn that.

[@gregsanders7064]

I have a noticeable reduction in tone and volume when i installed the LRBAGGS SL. So back to Fishman matrix infinity VTC. Are you sponsored by LRBAGGS???

[@TreyAHensley]

@@gregsanders7064 I’ve never gotten a cent from LR Baggs and I’ve never had a problem in the dozens of guitars I’ve had Anthem SL pickups installed in. Not sure what happened with yours…but sounds like it wasn’t installed correctly possibly. Not sure. But I haven’t had that problem with any of mine, thankfully.

[@78ramcharger53]

Do you have a boucher guitar or have you tried one?

[@jeffpryce7201]

Hey Trey, I would like to know what kind of guitar that is with the strap that bends notes and chords. I've never seen a guitar like that before. Thanks Jeff 🎸👍

[@TreyAHensley]

@@jeffpryce7201 that’s a b-bender guitar

I have a friend who builds guitars...as a hobby...and only for himself. He is a really good musician in his own right and played for years in bands across the nation. He played in blues bands primarily with a few side trips as a rock and roll musician, but his first love has always been playing acoustic He builds only for himself now and only guitars with 12 fret necks without every using a "cut back" body. His idea is that for what he likes to play, and his vocal range, this covers everything and he never has to use a capo. He has found a way by using modified "Martin design bracing", and taking extreme care on saddle / nut design and placement as well as using only the best quality in all of his woods he can get great rich tone out of his instruments. He is centered now on making "parlor body" size guitars because he likes to sit in his recliner and play. I have said all of this to set up this question. Like I said, none of his are for sale as it is a hobby, but the 12 fret thing is what I found interesting. I noticed you had one, a 12 fret neck on what looked like a 00 or 000 body guitar. Did you have that put on it? It isn't something you see very often on a larger body guitar. Just curious.
