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.
