Awesome playing, I'm surprised that no one has commented on these video. Thanks for posting.

His tone is so much improved with that new guitar strap. Do you know where I can get one just like it?

Hackguitarist · December 8th, 2009, 01:06 AM

I got sea sick watching that 1st one...

That'll be Brent's second tattoo

It says Julie, who is Brent's wife.

A new strap..?? Does that effect his sound..?

Definitely for sure...... maybe.

The first one, is wrongly marked as Gator Bite on You Tube, it's called 'Don't try this at Home' and was from the Players 1999 CD, now out of print. The one to see is the one recorded summer 09 in Germany, in the Rattlesnake Bar or something, if you search on You Tube you will find it. I would post a link but I'm at work and can't access You Tube.

There is a version of that song that has been on here more times than I can remember with Vince Gill doing the bluesy bit in the middle - That is also great but the one from Germany is the best one IMO.

I'm sorry guys but don't you have something better to do, like learning some of his licks/solos instead of commenting on a guitar strap. I bought a new strap for my guitar because the old one got worn out maybe he did the same.

He needs to breath a little more

Well, you know...I was kinda joking when I focused on the strap in the thread title. Had to write something...

Has he always played a bender?

At around 1:15 you can see him pulling down on the neck and his strap is connected near the neck plate. I always thought his guitar had no bender.

As far as I know, he's had a bender for years. The '68 tele has had one for ages (at least since before the Hot Licks video which was mid 90's as he uses it on that), and the signature ones he tends to take to gigs (the brown one and the 3 tone sunburst) have them also. They don't come with one though...

I know and my sarcasm is not always conveyed through a computer screen.

I'm sure Blue Water or WampCat will be around shorty to tell us all about it...

randysmojo · December 10th, 2009, 03:11 PM

I can't remember for sure, but in the Hot Licks Video, doesn't he mention that he had just gotten the b-bender installed on his guitar and he was trying to get used to using it? I remember seeing some video that he said that in.

From about 1:47, you won't find a more tasteful solo. The man has it all. Including a strat.

Something like that, can't remember if it was a new bender, or his first so to speak... Maybe BWG will pick up on this and put us out of our misery

Mark Moore · December 10th, 2009, 05:24 PM

It was the Hot Licks video where he said he was getting used to the bender.

Pip Pip Mark..!! (Let's have it in an Oke accent

)You are right, I am now almost certain it was new to him then and he was getting used to it.
