Brad Paisley
Solo
The country shredder with virtuoso technique. A master of chicken picking, G-bender licks, and witty songwriting, all delivered with massive overdriven Dr. Z tone. Blends traditional Telecaster twang with rock guitar mastery, proving country can shred as hard as any genre through blazing speed and impeccable phrasing.
SIGNATURE TONE
Spanky, gritty, and explosive. A Telecaster bridge pickup hitting a Class A tube amp (Dr. Z/Vox) on the verge of meltdown, with a touch of slapback and compression.
