Hearing you play this, I am still astounded at your touch, tone and musicality...emotional, moving, perfect for the song. I remember you generously teaching me how to get your great delay setting on my H3000...I remember it like it was yesterday:-)

Thompson is a BEAST in the studio. And the song itself means something to me. My sister’s youngest son was getting married. He called with a short notice asking if I could play something at the wedding party. I said Yes and this song was on my mind. Managed to find a track with everything except the lead vocal. Brought a MM LIII, a Diezel Herbert and a 212 cab. Played the melody until the key change. Threw on the boost, took an overtone and made it sing. It lasted as long as I needed. Crowd was full of Hillsong musicians. They asked “HOW did you do THAT long note, dude?!” and I smiled and said I’m not so fast so I had to do something. Thing was that this was the favorite song of the bride and she had tried to get someone to sing it. I had no clue. I just turned up and played it. These interviews are better than 10 million dollars in cash. God bless you, Mason.

That's quite an interesting pickup configuration on that strat, and those tones are absolutely jaw dropping what a player.

His playing was a good match to how David Foster, Babyface and others made music in the 90s. Didn´t he play electric guitar on ”Un-Break My Heart” by Toni Braxton from the same year as well? Quite convinced that he did. A track that I like personally is ”If I´m Not in Love” from the ”Flowers” album by Jody Watley.. Extremely sensible and tasteful player.

I think he showed that Braxton track to Mason as well. Might see the clip released soon.

What's crazy is I had no idea the guitarist would do so much of the creative process on the sound of the guitar, particularly with effects. I thought the engineers and producers would do all that

One of those unsung guitar heroes that played on a ton of popular albums back in the 80’s and 90’s. I especially luv his guitar work on Animal Logic’s 2 albums back in the early 90’s. Melodic and beautiful playing on every track. Also, if any of you guys haven’t heard of that band, you should check them out. They were a side project that Stewart Copeland did with Jazz bassist Stanley Clarke and singer Deborah Holland. And there were lots of catchy Pop songs with a little Jazz and Country thrown in as well.

So many great interviews with legendary session players. It would be incredible if you got Steve Lukather, Michael Landau and Steve Stevens to sit down for these session career breakdowns too.

Man I really love your interviews not only are you great at it while still showing your a fan (which is hard to do) but you pull from a wide spectrum of American popular music especially the rnb and hip hop worlds which is the music I grew up with. Even though I’ve been a musician all my life I didn’t start guitar in a serious way until recently when some injuries and health conditions forced me away from my main instruments, these interviews came up in my life after that and I hear were the influences for my guitar playing came from that I had no idea were there until recently
