Paul Franklin - Amazing Steel Guitar

[steelmanwright]

Paul is a Master of his craft...keep'em coming Jamie..

[kaitlynbaby234]

Paul, you are the s&@^]t.

[ronshalita]

Paul is the Man! somewhere between Buddy Emmons and Doug Jernegan... and ya know that just cant be too bad huh.. first time I saw Paul was at the Steel convention and he was just a kid... he grew up to be such a nice guy and wow what a player huh

[eric1love]

Great stuff!!!

[Guitarbque]

amazing!!



[steveyraynelson]

that lick around :31 is HIS! How do you play that one?

[2skyland]

Who cares if it's dark? It's music...listen to it.

[klintrimus]

Can't believe that this dark videoclip is one of my favorite musical clips on the net

[potbasher]

Great playing, thanks for the vid, Barry Gaskell from England is a great steel player, if you get chance go and hear him, he is in the north west.

I'd still take Ralph Mooney or Pete Drake over him any ol' day of the week.

[btaylor1931]

I remember when he was Pete D

rake's boy, carried Pete's ax and st it up for him. You could see it Commin'

[kevland1]

Yowza!

[hotrodbluehonda1]

I remember Paul playing his steel when he was young and lived across the street from me....will never forget his amazing talent!!! The Lewis' definitely remember you Paul

[steveyraynelson]

this has to be at the Station with Timejumpers.  That's Andy Reiss on guitar!

[jamielennon1]

it was dark !!!!!! no lights

[jamielennon1]

it was dark !!!!!!

[YBR35]

I like it, but would like it more if I could see what is happening!!! There is no sign of the steel guitarist; he seems to be shrouded in darkness!! Just can't see any visuals at all!

[steinsteel]

@jamielennon1 Yeah he plays so fluid.Thanks for posting.Makes you relax at fast tempo.Great

[kennykeys89]

this is so good i cant believe it...seriously i think im dreaming

[504caveman]

first time to her him play i cant play the regaler guatar becus of calsem in my arms id love to lern how to play the stell

[karsown]

wow shivers all over..

[Rodoriffic]

An inspiration for all of us for sure, & like Buddy, he's a nice guy!

[kitnewell]

Absolutely awesome PSG playing from a living master.

Question: Why were they playing in the dark?... ;-)

[firefighter390]

If I could pick like that I'd never hoe another row.....Geesh just to know one of those runs he does on the C 6th would be awesome.

[anitadavideduo]

He's GREAT!!!!!

[Dexfan90]

badass!!!

[Factnotfictionpeople]

The mark of a GREAT player in my opinion, is their ability to get ground-breaking sounds out of their instruments 'dry'. In this respect, many of the old greats - Like Emmons, Green, West, etc will NEVER be beaten!

[gr1nd3r72]

THT ONE OF MY BFF'S GREAT UNCLE!

[AbbieTheCatRules]

I cant belive how many ppl like my great uncle's playing :D

[cman10101]

Thanks for posting Jamie...Paul has been a favorite of mine since i first heard him in '82 or '83 - while demo-ing for Sho-bud in a small music store in SE Texas... He was great - even back then. Met his family @ the TSGA show in '09...just like Paul - they are very humble & sincerely grateful for thier fans. I'm one!

Adair Torres

[halls51]

Excellent work, as usual

Thanks for sharing

[RTFOMF]

I am happy to see that Paul has finally begun to get that steel guitarist waist-line !!!

Plus, he plays pretty good !

[jazztickets]

Fucking christ man.

[jamielennon1]

Paul is a legend !!!

[kvuo]

as a regular 6 string guitar player, I find all you pedal steelers amazing.. this shit is great!

[bassace1971]

I love watching Paul play but my favorite to watch is still Sonny Garrish.

[Tracy3006]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!! Franklin is my favorite steel man. He masters all types of music. Move over Emmons and Chalker. There is a new legend in town.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

@Tracy3006 MR. Emmons could still wipethe floor with him........

[phaaker]

@Factnotfictionpeople Not very classy.... They are both geniuses in their own right...... please!

[eightstring]

God!!!! Franklin is monster! He tears up the steel! I noticed the face of Kenny Sears admiring Pauls' playing...Thanks for posting this video Eightstring aka Ronald Cid

[Markypsteel]

Great clips Jamie. Every member of this band are exceptional players and work together to produce something very special. Sounds like you're having a great time. All the best you.

[AdKe1955]

[eightstring]

This has got to be the BEST band going. Thanks so much for uploading this video. Not only Paul is hot in this video but the accordion, and guitar player are fabulous...the drummer and bassist are a dream rhythm section...Sounds to me like Paul has added his John Hughey sound to the mix...he such a fabulous player.  Thanks so much
