On a sunny Sunday afternoon just outside of Nashville, Tennessee earlier this summer, we linked up with award-winning guitarist, songwriter, and jaw-dropping flatpicker @TreyAHensley to kick off a new series of Yamaha Sessions.
Hensley pulls limitless tone and warmness from his Yamaha FG9 R, even while approaching the song with near-aggression, ripping through acrobatic triplet licks and leaning into ugly delicious chromaticism in every solo.
It’s a three-minute, bold and energetic bluegrass ride, “Hold What You Got” as only Trey Hensley could render it – complete with references to J.D. Crowe’s iconic banjo licks from the original cut. Punctuated with a bluesy and full open E chord, Hensley closed out the first of two new, exclusive Yamaha Sessions we’ll share from the guitarist over the coming weeks.
