Now available for download and streaming!

Grammy Award-winning artist, Brent Mason is also a 14-time winner of the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Guitarist of the Year Award, a 2-time winner of the CMA Award Musician of the Year (nominated every year since 1991), and an inductee into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Musician’s Hall of Fame.

Having played on over a thousand albums, Brent is one of the most recorded guitarists in history earning him a spot as one of the world’s Top 10 Session Guitarists in the world joining the ranks of Jimmy Page, Larry Carlton, Tommy Tedesco, and Steve Cropper. Who better to teach you Nashville Style Guitar?!

Learn Brent’s signature fingerpicking and chicken pickin’ techniques (worth the price of admission alone!), a variety of rhythm approaches, soloing techniques, and a versatile and tasty vocabulary of Brent’s favorite licks and motifs to build solos around.

Brent will teach you country shuffles, train beat techniques, country R&B grooves, modern country techniques, Eagles-style country approaches, how to dial in your tone, valuable practicing tips, and more — enough to keep you busy in the shed for a lifetime!

You’ll then apply all of the approaches and techniques by learning and playing through 5 full-length soloing performance studies (fair warning — #5 will keep you in the shed for a second lifetime). Brent will explain and demonstrate the key concepts and techniques along the way.

You can loop, slow down, or speed up any lesson section. Plus, all of the tabs and notation are synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You’ll also get the tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and the backing tracks to practice with.

Grab your guitar, and let’s head to Nashville with Brent Mason!

This is THE Master of Telecaster!

My God, this course was the reason I registered my JamPlay account! And now it’s available here, it’s awesome! Every riff and phrase I learned from Brent I can use in my playing and in studio recordings, they just fit perfectly. Yes, it’s not an easy course to learn and play, and it’s got some small mistakes in tabs, but you better transcribe by the ear. When you learn in, you should go and learn more from transcribing Brent’s tasteful solos and riffs. By the way, is you have Band in a Box, they have a big pack of Brent’s performances transcribed. Very useful also. Keep on picking!
