Brad Paisley can shred. Anybody who’s ever seen him play guitar knows this, and he’s without question one of the best guitar players in Nashville. And he recently got to jam with a bunch of other guys who know a little something about shredding, but maybe not as much about… Nashville.
It all started when Fender Guitars partnered with HBO for a line of deluxe, built-to-order guitars that represent the three main houses in Game of Thrones. Then they invited these guys to the Fender Custom Shop to play them, and Brad joins Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, Scott Ian from Anthrax, and Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme, along with GOT creater Dan Weiss, and they play a metal guitar arrangement of the show’s theme song composed by GOT’s Ramin Djawadi.
Watch as Brad adds some requested “fairy dust” with a solo that – let’s face it – impresses the other players.
