What It's Like Playing The Grand Ole Opry - Ask Zac 278

Have you ever wondered what it's really like to play the Grand Ole Opry? In this episode, I share stories from my most recent appearance with Brad Paisley, including an unexpected guitar solo, the history and traditions of the Opry, and the gear I used on stage. We'll talk about: • What it's like backstage at the Opry • How the Opry has changed from the Ryman Auditorium to today • Why the Opry once banned drums and horns • The incredible Opry staff band • The Fender Tone Master amps provided on stage • The guitars and pedals I used, including my Glaser Telecaster, B-to-B baritone, and custom Fender Electric XII • Breaking down my impromptu solo on "Out Behind the Barn" and the country guitar influences behind it • Stories from touring Europe with Brad Paisley and meeting Ask Zac viewers along the way Playing the Grand Ole Opry is still one of the greatest honors a country musician can experience, and I hope this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what makes it such a special place.
