Ed now has a facebook page! it would be great those of you who are on facebook to like it and spread the word. His beautiful music deserves to be spread as far as it can. His legacy on the guitar is a rare and beautiful thing.
he have a strange confortable way to hold a guitare. When i listen to this music, i remembe of the old cowboy film. they was played this kind of music. Some cowboy sang with a beautiful voice.
If you see him live he's boring as crap. He tunes and tunes slowly takes drink of water and then tells the same jokes your hearing now.He could cure insomnia. He was asked if he sometimes learned something new when he plays on a set with studio musicians. He didn't like that question from his facial expression and his answer of no, no....
its the same concept. you just hold it between your thumb and index. it gives a flattop player a bit more control i would imagine. my dad has one just like the one in the video and i had to ask him what it was just the other day because it dosent look like a normal slide.
The technique of playing a Weissenborn is not complicated.
However, playing a Weissenborn in the right "feel" and with the right vibe is really not an easy thing. Ed does it so remarkably well, I can't say enough how much.

A lot of slide guitarists hold it on their lap. The lap steel guitar is even named after the way its held when played

Just saw him in Morro Bay last night... probably the 7th time. He's as much magician as musician, He evokes so much feeling from his guitar. Amazing.
Hope he tours forever.

If you are REALLY into his music, you don't need words, that would pretty much ruin it. Its ok to use imagination, you know?

I'm gonna have to learn that one... sweet tune!
Some of it sounds a bit like "There's a hole in my bucket", no?
It's a shame his nut is too low & he keeps catching the bar like that...
