@awnok I never said anything of the kind. But I hate it when people - usually the Yanks - come across with all this 'Only American Steelies are any good' cr*p. I have been listening to PSG for many, many years and I can tell good from bad. So many of the American 'fans' almost salivate over even mediocre US players - see below. My point was - and is - that David Hartley IS a brilliant player. As for copying - which came first; the Sho-Bud, the Emmons or The Zum?
@Factnotfictionpeople My point in return, is that David is a big fish in a small pond. Might be the finest player from the UK, I haven't heard them all. But he doesn't play the back neck(yet? You can correct me on that) and I believe that to be a great player, you should be a master of your instrument. As the brands, I'll go for the order you placed them in.
@awnok Sorry for the delay in replying. He has played some C6th I think. As for being a master of the instrument; there are so many different tunings on both necks that it is surely impossible to master them all. But I see your point. And lets not forget, 'Mr Nashville Sound' Lloyd Green, made most - if not all - of his recordings on the E9th neck - I dare you to say he's not a master of his instrument! LOL
Wow... truly a master player. What a gracious guy. Not sure there is anybody out there that can keep up with Doug playing Jazz, bluegrass or country, he is a flat out monster.. Love him!
Great playing, man!!!

David? Imitation. Doug? Innovation. The steel has been around longer than David!

@awnok Oh, so your real point was, actually, no point at all then......Still, you're entitled to your opinion. :-)

@Factnotfictionpeople You talk as if David is the best thing since sliced bread. We already have that in the bigger and better players.

You probably already know, but try to catch David Hartley playing a snippet of this - it really is superb!

Great view of Doug's right hand. Incredibly quick and precise, with no excess movement. Post more of these if you've got 'em, please!
