Brent Mason is a session player of immense stature. Having sat in on recording sessions with the likes of Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Chet Atkins, and Shania Twain, Mason has built himself an impressive resume that, no doubt, qualifies him to teach the masses a thing or two about playing some good old country guitar. With lessons on country pull-offs, clawing techniques, the B-string bender, and diminished and augmented 9th chords, Brent Mason: Nashville Chops & Western Swing Guitar is a nice addition to any guitar player's instructional library. Like many Hot Licks Video releases, this tutorial requires some previous guitar knowledge.
