Steel guitar is such a cool instrument. Great job! I've never really been into country music, but I recall watching The Barbara Mandrell Show when I was a little kid. She was the first person I ever saw play steel guitar. There's a great vid of her playing this song (search Barbara Mandrell - Steel Guitar Rag). Very cool!

[MrThomcantwe]

[lildumplin56]

I really love steel gutar 

[Maginel73]

I used to play this on my old MSA, but had to use both necks. Couldn't figure out how to do it all on the E9

[cjsinclair]

Freakin' awesome!

[Johi2410]

Amazing man, that was really good.

I'm just starting to learn it on Lap Steel - basically it's easy. But all those turnarounds and little licks you put in here and there are what makes it really that special. Hats off man, good job.

[plcjc1]

Thanks ! good luck on your guitar journey

[joe1888g]

Sounds great

[madbear47]

Pickn' a steel guitar rag has to be the most fun because of all the variations a picker gets to choose from.

[docsavage98]

love anything steel.....could you do a cover of "Lara's Theme" aka "Somewhere my Love" from the movie Dr. Zhivago....I heard Buddy Emmons do it at a steel players convention and fell in love with the song.

[malaki222]

hot damn that sounds good!

[sonick808]

now that's a good son, recording for his mom. 5 stars on that, and great job!

[plcjc1]

Thanks ! She's worth it for all she's had to put up with me

Jeff

[MrH2O4me]

Your momma must be proud son...that is just fantastic! love that steel guitar...new country blows...ya know why, no steel guitar!

[plcjc1]

Thanks ! my Mom just loves the steel. You are so correct if there is any Steel in the new stuff they usually bury it way back in the mix. I loved the old stuff where it was out front.

Jeff

[ethicomm]

Just great. Such a cool sound!

[plcjc1]

Thanks it is my favorite.

Jeff

[HJMC3345]

Wonderful! The only thing I don't like about a steel guitar is when it stops.

[plcjc1]

Thanks I quite fond of it as well !

Jeff

[slivovich]

Hey guys, i am a drummer. Been playing for almost 7 years. Never played any guitar, but would love to learn this instrument. Any suggestions in where do i start? Should i buy one without pedals or with? Or may be learn reg guitar at first?(i am very impatient in music, would love to jump on steel guitar right away)

Thanks in advance!

[plcjc1]

I would get a pedal steel and be ready for a bumpy ride there is a lot going on to learn. Today there is instruction on the web and tons of great instruction for sale. This wasn't the case 30 years ago !

Jeff

[baseboi]

awesome playing man. sounds great. that run on 1.09 was awesome. ive got my friend's steel but it doesnt have pedals. you just play it on your lap. i would love to learn how to play it properly but my main problem is that i play guitar and bass left handed upside down and i dont think those pedals are moveable?? for me to play that i have to play facing you if you get my drift...lol. but once again great playing

[plcjc1]

Thanks, If you've never played a steel I would go ahead and try to learn it the normal way even if I was left handed. I Think you would be surprised how fast you would progress since it all would be new. There are left handed steels with everything reversed, but they are custom not so readily available.

Jeff

[guitarpicker88]

that was great how long have you been play steel i wanna learn myself but im scared if i buy this old emmons im looking at then i won't beable to play. i play flattop and a fender etc. guitar for now. thing only thing i wish you would do is turn the reverb on the amp just two more click's other than that a great sound buddy.

[plcjc1]

Thanks, If you play guitar the steel won't be as hard to learn. Still takes a while to get the hang of, but that's true with all instruments. I've been playing steel for about 30 years.

Jeff

[resopicker]

Leon would be proud! One of the nicest versions of this old standard I've ever heard. My ears are grinning.

[plcjc1]

Thanks ! This was one of the first Instrumentals I learned decades ago.

Jeff

[crackerjacks46]

Carroll Baker is also on Facebook. :)

[crackerjacks46]

I have it on LP, haven't found it anywhere on CD or cassette. Now have USB turntable so will hunt the album up and copy it. Then just have to figure out how to get it to you! :) Happy New Year!

[ValreeShoe]

Your mom is very lucky! Merry Christmas!

[crackerjacks46]

LOL, with playing like yours, I don't think so. I have this in my favourites. Sure wish buffering on youtube was better though. So, are you going to do Play Your Steel Guitar For Me, by Caroll Baker? That one goes straight to the soul. Merry Christmas!

[plcjc1]

Merry Christmas to you as well, I'll have to look into the song you ask about I'm not familiar with it. If I can find it I'll take a run at it !

Jeff

[viz76]

Bravo!!

[crackerjacks46]

Volume up full, toes tapping! Superb. I too love this old tune. Your video ended a few notes short though. :)

[plcjc1]

Thanks ! I've always been a few notes short of a whole song

[melanson604]

Good job..nice rendition of that old tune.

[ClarenceOlsen1]

Fantastic

[MoneyMike42000]

good stuff brother. keep up the good work.

[lillance2005]

Why do you have to keep adjusting your bar?

[plcjc1]

Don't really have to, just gives me something to do when I'm playing the open notes.

[dreamlabstudios]

Amazing

[zoltra]

[Nelsonbear]

Well that does it for me, I have played a lot of guitars over the years but never the Pedal Steel. This Video has convinced me to go out get one and learn it.

Thanks for the Video, amazing
