Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 542 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - and this week they have a special guest as the legendary Brent Mason is in the house!

This week we are joined by Nashville legend Brent Mason - one of the world's finest guitar players and one of Brian's guitar heroes - and he takes us on a detailed journey through his career. Brent tells us the utterly insane story about how he got his first break in music after being literally thrust at one of the most famous players of his era when he was a youngster.

Brent then regales us with colorful tales of his early session playing career, how his talent was picked up, and how some of his early encounters with legendary musicians played out. He gives us a fascinating insight into how hard he had to work to get to his big break and has some great insights for all guitar players to learn from. There is also plentiful gear talk too as Brent breaks down how his rig has evolved from the 90's to today.

There are some amusing tales about library music including something that blows Richard and Blake's tiny minds when they discover just how widespread Brent's talents can be found. The guys get deep into Brent's creative process and learn about how he comes up with his solos and Brian makes a confession. Oh, and we might mention the new Wampler ReWired pedal and its topology. Hint - it is not a tubescreamer. 

This is an episode not to be missed, and we are very grateful to Brent for spending this time with us - enjoy!
