Getting the 90's country guitar sound, and stalking Brent Mason - Vlog 23

Back when I was a mere pup, I heard an Alan Jackson song called "I don't even know her name". I wasn't a huge fan of country music, but the guitar work on that stuff completely and totally blew me away. That song started an obsession with a guy named Brent Mason. Brent is the one who played guitar on that song, along with a ton of hits by many different artists. I started picking out every little thing he was playing, read up on everything he was using (whenever possible) and became so obsessed that I named my son after him, seriously. And that's before I got to know him, and before I was even contemplating opening up the inside of a pedal. Eventually, I found out that he would post every now and then on the TDPRI (telecaster discussion page), so I did what every fan bordering on stalking would do. I sent him a gushing message and begged him to let me send him a pedal to check out with no strings attached.

Luckily, he loved it. And so began a friendship that's been going on for much of the 2000's now.

But that's not the point of this video... the point is to show you some general settings for a compressor, echo, and reverb to get that sound like you hear on the old Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn stuff... back when the record companies would let the guitar players cut loose more. These days, they don't do that as much. It's a shame... most of the artists playing modern country actually PREFER the older stuff. But, you gotta eat. So you do what you gotta do to eat, ya know?

But I digress.

By the way, I wanted to name my daughter "Paisley". I then said "what about Brentasia? Brentny? My wife (at the time) said no. I'm no longer married to her...

My wife (the keeper) thinks Paisley would've been a wonderful name for a girl, plus she has a daughter named Brittany that I've nicknamed Brentny ;)
