Brad Paisley At: Guitar Center "G-Bender" Telecaster 

"It's got a different pedal sound to it so I can go- (awesome riff) but if I go- (awesome riff) there's a little more of that- (awesome riff) as oppose to- (another awesome riff)" -Brad Paisley

I am not even a country guy but I will listen to Brad just because of his talent. And he's a really solid dude. I saw him give a little star struck kid at a concert the guitar off his shoulder. He literally pointed, handed the guitar to the kids mom and said "get him some lessons, here's his starter kit" and the crown went nuts. That is a good dude

You don't have to like country music to know this man can PLAY!

I like how he literally let the guitar do the talking.

I'm not American nor a country music fan, but Brad Paisley is one of the most underrated guitarists in the world. What a talent!

Brad, about every 20 seconds: "And I just love what it does to the [oh here let me just spin something off the top of my head] ......and if you listen to the [and again] ....but it just makes this [good Lord, this guy can play!] sound so much more musical. [extra lick for effect]" Madly jealous of this man's guitar skills

I'd rather listen to Brad Paisley play guitar than all the shredders at all the Guitar Centers in the world. He can really play!

You can go ahead and skip this comment section, it’s all “I don’t like country...but this guy...”

I refer to Brad as the "Dimebag" of country! Trust me, it's meant as a HUGE compliment 👍👍😁😎

Brad Paisley visited Guitar Center Nashville back in 2013 to discuss his "G-Bender" Fender Guitar Telecaster. Learn how it works.

Not a big country music guy, but I listen when Brad Paisley plays. One of the most under rated guitarists around

Dang... been playing guitar for 21 years (11-32), and I just now... today... I am seeing and hearing about these "benders" for the first time...

We hear so much praise given to players like Van halen, Jimmy Page, Kirk Hammet and the list goes on and sure those guys are very gifted musicians but country guitarists like Brad Paisly dont get near the credit they deserve and can play just as good.

Mmm. Nationwide must be on his side

Brad Praisley is easily one of the best modern guitar players. I love his sound. The guy is great!

I love that Brad lets his guitar finish his sentences. "I love that I can just" *plays guitar riff* "Or I can go" *plays guitar riff* "There's a little more of that" *plays guitar riff*

Brad Paisley might be one of the most underrated guitar players of the modern generation. Right up there with John Mayer.

Going to start listening to more Brad Paisley now. I had no idea he could rip like he does. I’m just a drummer but mad respect!

I could do a little more. twang twang... as suppose to.... twang twang twang.. and sounds little like.. twang twang.... love his explanations :)

He's really good, just like Keith urban. They both are definitely talented on the guitar. Wish I could play like them.

one of the more underrated guitar players of this time, for sure.

Brad Paisley is one of the most underrated guitar players of his generation. He's got killer tone and such tasty licks.

I am not a country guy, but brad paisley has been one of my biggest insprations as a guitarist and a songwriter in most of my guitar playing "carreer"

Hes for real. Damn.... Brad has skills.

As a guitarist I'm into Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan and even jazz players like Joe Pass and fusion players like Eric Johnson......but this guy can really shred, I really need to check out guys like Merle Haggard and Albert Lee. Brad Paisley is a joy to listen to and learn from.

Brad paisley will always be one of my favorite artist. Doesn’t matter if you hate country. You gotta recognize his talent on a fret board.

I've watched more than a few of these guitar center videos today but this one was by far the most entertaining.

I tried to have some fun with one of these once and my friends thought I was having a seizure... Saying that this adds another difficulty level to playing is an understatement

I could literally sit and listen to Brad pick ALL DAY LONG!!!!!

I never knew this type of guitar, the bender, even existed. I’m amazed and it sounds so awesome

Thanks Brad that was a real treat. When I was a kid Roy Buchanan was the first guy I met who had a b-bender. I was 15 I didn't touch his guitar. I'm a big fan of yours. You pick it and you sing it. That makes you the real deal. Thanks again. "Iron American Dream on RU-vid"

Being an avid fan and guitarist of 80's/90's Classic Rock / Metal guitar bands. VanHalen, Extreme, Dokken, Metallica, Hendrix, Satriani, Gilmour, Clapton, Paige, you know, the greats. After hearing Brad play over the last few years, He is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He got the gift handed down from God.

Not a country fan at all, but damn if they made instrumental country that sounded like what this guy is playing I would be all about that.

I've been a guitar player for decades and played in several bands along the way. This guy is a chicken pickin' king on that 6 string! Not too big on his mainstream pop country music but I am absolutely impressed with his play.

Been playing for 20+ years and this is the first I've ever heard or seen of this! Pretty cool

Awesome video! We saw Brad Paisley at the 99.9 KISS Chili Cookoff last Sunday and he was fantastic! Puts on a great show. You can tell he really enjoys performing and he interacts with the audience more than most performers now days. He took cell phones from audience members, took selfie's, gave away a guitar and the hat off his head. We really enjoyed his show. He's not only a great country music singer, he's a great guitar player & performer.

It makes me sick to listen to him play because he is that Damn good. I'm not a country player but I wish i had chops like brad.

Fuck he's good

I don’t particularly love country music but I’ve played guitar for about 16 years and I love this style. So wholesome. Most ppl wanna learn the ridiculous sweeping, tapping metal riffs which are great. But this is much more relaxing to listen to imo. Cool bends

I could study 3 lifetime's and not be able to play like that. Thank God for Brad Paisley so he can do it for me in this lifetime.

he plays a lifetime of licks in 3 mins........

I've been playing guitar 30+ years now, an old metalhead 80's dude, but have always had a country taste. I NEVER KNEW such a device existed. I've even built a few a guitars. My mind is a bit blown right now. And I never knew Brad Paisley was such a badass guitarist. I will be diving into this further.

Lol why the dislikes? Just cause people dislike country? I’m not a big country fan and I can still acknowledge that Brad’s a hell of a player.

It’s always fun to watch someone talking in a foreign language! 😆 🎸

I saw him by coincidence like 15 years ago. I figured, hey, I like his hits. My jaw was on the floor from beginning to end. He never played the same thing twice. As a guitar player, I was equal parts crazy inspired and crazy knew I would never amount to anything. Weird sensation, but holy crap this man is a revelation and my respect for his abilities is through the roof

Want to get even more inspired then listen to Will Ray John Jorgenson and Jerry Donahue individually and as the Hellecasters. Where does one begin? Incredible.

Brad has always been an under rated guitarist. Not a big country guy but always appreciated his music and guitar style.

Nice Brad- the B Bender and the G Bender are kind of mystical things to most of us. First you got to find one. Then you have to have the time to screw around with it. You got to go out on a limb and buy one, or have one built. Very slick. Thank you

Dude I always wondered why country dudes wiggle their guitars like that I seriously thought that’s just what country guitar players did like it was like wearing leather pants in rock and roll

Had no idea this guy was this good.Sounds awesome

Brad. You are the man! Every time I hear you your playing gets better. Thanks.

Maybe its b/c I really have no musical talent but, I love watching a musician play their instrument, especially the guitar. I'm simply amazed at the coordination/ability it takes to do what he just did.

im a metal guy all day. but brad is easily one of my favorite 5 guitarist of all time

Guitar Center Brad Paisley can play. Seriously, forget B-benders, whammy bars, just listen to the picking and the tone. As a guitar tech myself, I always enjoy listening to Brad's playing. He can make any guitar and any amp sound great. Have a great day! Sammy Bones #bradpaisley

First time I ever discovered a G bender and watched a video about it. *MIND BLOWN*

Saw him live and continue to at the Rodeo. This guy can shred, and I appreciate that he can navigate the guitar as well as he can.

Would love to see a Brad and John 5 collaboration

Never been into country but this guy is a champion at his craft. Amazing musician

I love old school country, and he's legit.

Brad Paisley's playing continually blows me away! And I lean towards metal and progressive rock...

I got to see Brad at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, before he was super super famous. .. 2000 or 2001. Just him, and acoustic guitar and a microphone... He was amazing. Also met Keith Urban there once....

Damn I never realized how difficult it is to play country tunes like brad paisley. I also never realized how great of a guitarist brad paisley is.. He is wicked good and I respect/like him as a person/musician, he's the man..

My friend opened for Brad on tour for a long time and told me Brad is a total guitar nerd!

YOU are one of THE VERY BEST! I recently bought a TELE 40th Anniv Squier, with the idea of having a Certano G & B Bender installed on it, which I did. I love it, and although Certano is from France, David Certano gave great customer service. And the Install process is not as severe as what I saw you had to do on installing a B Bender using the Gtr strap. I do remember the Byrds doing it first. Other than Brad, I've also seen it done by the Eagles as he said in this video, but also Diamond Rio and Alan Jackson's lead Gtr player. The sound is distinct. The idea came from my buying a Dobro from the Jackson Steel Gtr Co, that had a special EDGE Bridge on it, that bends 3 of the strings, 2nd, 4th and 5th all at once. It is set up in E Tuning for that reason. Still getting used to it, but I had played a pedal steel and a 5-string banjo yrs ago----not at the same time-----haha, so also fingerpick a Gtr and was used to that. With the Tele and Bender, that process is just a bit easier. I just wish there were some YT LESSONS on the Certano Bender. Thanks for this video.

Im a les paul guy for ever but damn I like those teles with b-benders Im so getting one

What a killer guitarist!!

Brad's a great picker...it's what drew me to his music and still keeps me coming back

As a predominantly Djent/Metal player, Bead Paisley is in my top 3 players. The man can absolutely SHRED.

anybody know what pedal he is using for his slapback? it is perfect.

I like the sound of a G string. "That's what" -She

I have one of the first few of the Parsons-White B-benders. I've had it for over 25 years and love it.

Paisley is one of the most underrated guitar players in the world.

Im not a country guy, but he got some really good playing going on. Kinda reminds me of Jerry Reed a little.

Really surprised at how nicely he plays. Country stars don’t get enough musicianship credit

It's very Good to be a Blues man , a Country man and some Rockn Roll........ full circle .....taste it all....because you can

Brad is in my top guitarists list - like my list matters! Most of my favorites are from back in the day: James Burton, Roy Nichols, Clarence White, Albert Lee, Danny Gatton, etc. Brad took all of the great aspects of country and jazz and blended it into his style.

Some of the country guys are great guitarists. Definitely overlooked some..

Not a fan of country but still found this interesting

All these years playing guitar and I’d never known what a g-bender was. So very cool.

Holy hell I love country music and I had absolutely no idea he was this amazing! Damn!!!!

Don’t listen to country, but this dude seems pretty legit

I've never been a massive paisley fan, but I love country. The term "country," just like rock, folk, blues, etc is such a massively broad term that people shove a whole ton of different styles into cause its easier to market. Dont dismiss a genre (any genre) just because of the name of it, research and find different styles and I guarantee you'll probably find some shit you dig everywhere

Brad’s always been one of my favourite players. He’s a phenomenal musician. Songwriter, guitar player, entertainer. Everyone should check out his first 3 albums, the guy was smoking back then. He kind of went the bro country route after 5th Gear but hey they all do to stay on the charts

Saw him in concert once. Surprised at how well he could play,even shred.

that. is. so. COOL!

I need a G bender man! B)

Amazing that so many people don’t realize what an accomplished guitar player this man is.

Brad paisley melts butter in his right hand while paving roads with his left. They come together on his tele (g bender) to make the most soul jerking riffs.

ALSO MADE IS A COMBINATION B@G BENDER IN 1 GUITAR , COOLEST DAM THING I EVER SAW !!

Say what you want about country music but there's no denying Brad is one of the best guitar players ever. Seeing him live was the impetus that made me pick up guitar.

I'm a straight up death metal fan. 45 years old. Grew up on Napalm death, obituary, chuck shuldner. And my number one favorite guitar player is Brad Paisley. And EVH...

Brad Paisley at Guitar Center! They just earned some serious cred!

G-bender or not,I still wish I could play half as well as him :(

i also like the sound of a g-string, but i like the looks of it even more. :D

I'm not much of a country fan but this is dope, brad definitely knows what he's doing

I don't listen to country but I have major respect for the musicians talent in the industry

Before I watched this video I hoped I could be as good as him someday, now I see that is impossible

Came here to talk shit about brad but after watching this vid brad is a great guitarist !

Paisley. Amazely! And the tone from that Tele! I have yet to hear that from any that I've tried at GC.

If you can play like Brad, you hardly need this gadget; but he makes beautiful use of it! Thanks for this nice demo.
