Marty Stuart rocked the country radio in the early 90s and albums that blended Steve Earle-esque country rock with badass guitar playing and a nod to traditional country. In this episode, we take a listen to the trajectory of Marty's music. Traditional country to modern country to where his music lives now: as rock music. Did that really happen? Stuart has more than 20 studio albums, has charted more than 30 times on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, won five Grammy Awards, and is an engaged member of the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame. It is a fascinating truckload of music. Let's go. Email the show: rockpoprollpodcast@gmail.com website: www.rockpopandroll.com NOTES: The Fabulous Superlatives, Marty Stuart's band since 2002, includes Stuart on guitar and mandolin, Kenny Vaughan on guitar, and Harry Stinson on drums, and from 2002 until 2008, Brian Glenn on bass. From 2008 until 2015, Paul Martin was on bass. In 2015, Chris Scruggs replaced Paul Martin on bass, and also played steel guitar. Every member sings. Stuart's guitars also include "Clarence", a two-tone Fender Telecaster, once owned by Clarence White. This instrument is the original B-Bender guitar, built and designed by White and Gene Parsons (Byrds) in 1967, to allow the guitarist to manually raise the guitar's 'B' string one whole step to play in a style similar to a pedal steel guitar. Stuart bought the guitar in 1980 from White's widow. Mavis Staples of the Staple Singers gave one of her father "Pops" Staples' guitars to Marty Stuart after Pop's death. "My father was Marty's godfather. My sisters and I took him in as our brother. He's the only one that I've heard who -- when he's playing guitar, sounds like Pop. He can play just like him."
Today we look at this cool Glaser B-Bender equipped Strat that I put together using a Glaser made neck from the 80s, and a non-tremolo swamp ash body. We get to hear the Seymour Duncan Hot Strat Stack pickups, and get a bit of history along the way. Much thanks to Jason Cornelius for the buddy deal on the Glaser neck, and to Brad Paisley for donating and painting the body.Get a Glaser bender on your Strat or Tele herehttps://www.glaserbender.com/scheduling-and-optionsFollow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/askzac/To Support the Channel:Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AskZacTip jar: https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZac Or check out my store for merch - https://my-store-be0243.creator-spring.com/Support the show

117 - Gene Parsons (Nashville West, the Byrds, Stringbender inventor) In episode 117 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist and pedal steel guitarist and inventor of the B-bender (string bender) the legendary Gene Parsons. He was lucky enough to be able to interview Gene in his shop on the Northern California coast. In their conversation they cover his childhood in the southern California desert and what brought him to the remote Northern California coast. They go through his musical history including playing drums for Nashville West, the Byrds. His friendship with guitarist Clarence White. They go into detail about his pedal steel guitar playing and how he invented the B-Bender (string bender) with Clarence White and his interactions with Leo Fender. They discuss building string benders for Jimmy Page's Red Les Paul while in Led Zeppelin and Pete Townsend as well. They discuss all the instruments that Gene has installed string benders on… electric guitars (of course), acoustic guitars, baritone guitars, banjos and mandolins. They discuss Gene's passion for steam trains, which he also builds. Gene at the end of the interview gives a demo of his acoustic string bender and his Fender 800 pedal steel… James will post the videos to the Have Guitar Will Travel social media sites. .

After Gene Parsons installed the B-Bender on his sunburst backup Tele, it knocked the white Tele to the #2 position, and it was soon traded to his bandmate Bob Warford for a Nobel acoustic guitar. Wanting to also use a B-Bender, Warford & his dad engineered their own system based on Gene's original design, but with a few improvements including the allowance for a slimmer body to fit in a standard guitar case. Once learning the ropes of the mechanism, Bob would feature the B-Bender-equipped Tele with such greats as the Everly Brothers, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Herb Pedersen, and Chris Hillman. Today's video drills down on the modifications done to it, and we look at the ingredients to his rig to produce the memorable tones he featured on Ronstadt's "Willin'" and "Dark End Of The Street."Spotify Playlisthttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/2kK...Bender plans and photoshttps://www.askzac.com/post/bob-warfo...Gear Used:Crook Paisley Tele.Strings: Webstrings pure nickel 9-42 Pick:Blue Chip TPR 35Amp:2021 Fender Handwired 64 Princeton Reverb with a Jensen Neo 10-100 speaker.#askzac #clarencewhite #bobwarfordSupport the show

For many guitarists, he is known as one of the earliest exponents of the B-Bender, a mechanical device that allows the "B" string to be raised a whole step via a system of cranks and levers. His work on "Peaceful Easy Feeling" is an excellent example of the sound the device allows and is by far the most accessible and most often heard example of a guitarist using it. Today we take a look at Leadon's work through the years, spotlight some of his session work, and discuss his original Pull-String equipped Telecaster. We also cover how he ended up on the History of the Eagles tour, and the spartan setup that he used for the 170 dates back out on the road with his old band.Buddy Emmons book - Amazon Affiliate link https://amzn.to/3zHaqfyBernie Leadon Playlisthttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/72M...Gear Used:Crook Paisley with Glaser B-Bender1959 Harvard ampBoss CS3 comp, MXR Reverb, MXR LooperBass - Danelectro Bass 6Rhythm - Baxendale Kay Mandocello#askzac #bernieleadon #eaglesbandSupport the show

The Bill Crook-built Paisley seemed like the appropriate candidate, so I set up a time for an install, and Joe agreed to the entire process being filmed. Besides me removing the strings, and Joe removing the neck, this is the entire installation process from beginning to end. I hope through watching this you can see what would be involved in having one installed in your guitar, but more than that, I hope you can see both the brilliance of Glaser's design and how ingenious his installation procedure is. The reason for the new bender mechanism being so streamlined was that Joe had to develop a bender mechanism and installation procedures that could be used by large guitar manufacturers. This is the same mechanism that is installed by Fender USA into the Brent Mason Signature model, and by Fender's Custom Shop into some of their high-end models.Joe also shows how he strings vintage-style tuners and locks the plain strings for greater tuning stability.Gear Used:2014 Crook Custom Vintage Paisley APC Adder (Neck) Peter Florance TE-60 (Bridge)http://www.crookcustomguitars.com/Pick:Danocaster MediumAmp:1964 Vox JMI AC10 with 12" Celestion Blue Alnico Speaker in a custom cab built by Kyle Bollendorf.

Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian digs a hole immediately because the whole team is lacking in sleep and this derails into animal based nonsense early doors. Richard recommended the movie "Metal Lords" to Brian and he kinda liked it. Blake is not convinced so the guys discuss why he needs to re-evaluate his life choices. Brian's been rehearsing with his band and he is loving it but there is definitely an odorous side factor he hadn't bargained for. He tells us a bit more about his love for G and B-Bender equipped guitars and we have an acoustic player recommendation from Blake. Richard has been playing with the new Neural DSP Tone King and Soldano SLO-100 plugins in ProTools and he has a question about how to minimise plugin processor utilisation when recording multiple tracks of guitar.Blake's made his first Impulse Response - based off a throwaway comment from Brian - and it is better than he anticipated so we congratulate his mastery of science as he embraces his new IR driven life. Guitar Center have a new logo and Richard has managed to forget about it for a week or so but is excited to weigh in with his semi-qualified views.

In this episode of Can't Find My Way Home, we rediscover some of the Lost Top 5 episodes from Season 1. Justin Jardine, from Episode 18, and in his Top 5 we talk all things ACDC, why you should be listening to Gillian Welsh and David Rawlins, the genius that is Clarence White...who's credited with inventing the ‘B Bender'...Justin explains in more detail. The Highwomen and Robert Earl Keen, Steelism's ‘Caught In A Pickle'...as well as Justin's own background with the pedal steel guitar. All this and why Axl Rose is such an arsehole...and is Noraebang a Scottish thing? I was joined by Trevor Clements and Chris Johnson for Episode 21 of Can't Find My Way Home. We set up a Zoom call between Dortmund and Bandar Seri Begawan, in Brunei and we talked Expat lifestyles and musical adventures. In thie Top 5, Trevor and Chris tell us about Justin Timberlake, Eyes for Telescopes, Gary Moore, Herbie Hancock, the ultimate rock trio, as well as unexpected surprises during gigs. All things and playing at Ming's Cafe, in Miri, Malaysia. I spoke with Zahra Jaan from her home in London, in episode 17. Zahra takes us through her Expat journey of several years living and working in Seoul, South Korea, on to graduating with an MA in Sustainable Textile Design, and then working as a licenced designer for Disney and Warner Bros in London. We get into Zahra's new business ‘JaanSmithStudio' and how motherhood has helped spark new creative ideas and energy. Her concept is to produce children's wall art, incorporating bold, playful, colourful imagery. And it looks fantastic… Zahra and her husband have also just become parents for the second time. Big congratulations to you all. In the Top 5, there's cheesy 90's pop, Bjork not playing her good stuff in concert, songs that send babies to sleep and Pink Floyd exhibitions. Although those two things are not necessarily linked...Zahra takes us through her views on women in the design industry and gender equality. All this and shouting to Oasis at Karaoke and why are Travis just so moany...And The Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow.

It’s another solo mini-sode with Mike at the helm and this time around, the topic at hand is Jimmy Page’s rendition of Frédéric Chopin’s “Prelude in E Minor, O. 28, N. 4.” This unusual piece - which Page included on his offbeat soundtrack for Charles Bronson’s Death Wish II - became a staple in Page’s live sets from ’83 through ’88, including his appearances at the ARMS concert series, the numbers he contributed to the Willie and the Poor Boys project, his years with The Firm, and his Outrider tour. This episode covers some of the more noteworthy performances of "Prelude," many of which were performed by Page on his Fender Brown B-Bender Telecaster. Also up for discussion are some notes on the life and work of Chopin and a look at how The Firm used a piece from Gustav Holst’s “The Planets” to introduce their live shows during their first tour. Included in the show are samples of work by Chopin and Holst.

Josefina is a singer-songwriter based in Chicago, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has traveled to and lived in places all over the world, from Paris to Beijing, and plenty of these experiences have made their way into her lyrics. Her lush vocal stylings pair with alt-country production chock full of piano, B-Bender, Pedal Steel, and 12-string that would have found an easy home on Asylum Records circa 1970s. But this isn’t a throwback to Joni or Emmylou. This is a modern girl making modern music with a little twang and an infectious lightness of being.
