My dear Brit Cousing, thank you so so much for sharing your incredible and enjoyable talent with the rest of the world. Surely wish we were fortunate enough to get you over here in the U.S. to enjoy in person. Guys, like you, are truly a National Treasure. We, who have no musical talent, are blessed by you and those others who share. Many thanks, again, dear cousin. Ole Johnny B.
Dave this kentcary@att.net. I've got the Emmons II , great pedal. the original pickup sounds awful, wondering what your using. Thanks for the effects pedal tuturial. What kind of basic rythem loop machine your using The playing is great, listen to you all the time. Best and effortless I've ever heard or seen. Pc Florida
Mr. Hartley, I'm sitting here in a small town in Northeastern Indiana listening to you play the steel guitar. Your playing is GREAT. I especially like this particular song. Keep up the good work. I listen to you a lot. Thanks for posting your music.
I love this song and you did it so beautiful.my dad use to play it on his guitar but he couldn't finish it cause he would cry for some reason.my parents divorced when I was 10 and I always thought it was because of my mom but later I found out that my dad dad comitted sucide by hanging himself in a well and he found him so I never knew the real reason.he died. Back in 92 so I guess I will never know but you did such a beautiful job.ty..jennie101364@yahoo.com
hi i play some of your songs on keyboard but they don't sound as good as a pedal steal you are awesome i always wanted to play one but cant. can play other instruments no problem. i am self tought. i cant read music and.like you i enjoy what i play thanks for posting such grate videos do you play the red sovine song i dident jump the fence
My dad of late would would be so happy to here you play he was a musisuan ( ME I CANT SPELL) haha me i loved the sound keep doing what you are doing!!!!!
This was my grandmothers favorite song. and the first song I ever learned how to play on guitar. you did a great job with it. I enjoy all of your videos. Most of them are in my favorites que. You are a very talented individual.
I wish to thank you all for your comments to my youtube broadcasts. It is very much appreciated. I do try and contact you all personally if there's any questions that I have been asked, and I also make note of all your requests too. I have some great ideas for future videos and I will try and play some of your requests also.
The 5 who give this yhe thumbs down must Be Jealous of your excellent playing of this great favourite of so many Country fans. Thanks again Dave. Mike C. Philippines
Okay if you like this then you will SLOVE Robert Randolph!!! Robert Randolph is THE BEST pedal steel guitarist I have ever heard! He just came out with a new CD a few days ago and it’s AMAZING! His solos of him rocking out are to die for! When I listen to his music, I can really feel every note and there aren’t too many artists I can say that about! Check him out!
Now, I'm even more impressed. There's probably more Americans to learn from/Bounce Idea's off of, then in any other countrys (for the pedal steel). That means you'd probably have to pick a lot of it up on your own (or you have terrific clubs/groups out there). Awesome job again!
Fantastic playing! I'm a studio guitarist from the Philippines looking to get into playing pedal steel, but not sure what brand to get... any suggestions for a beginner? Again, great job! So inspiring!! God bless!
I stumbled onto your video, and I enjoy them. I've been playing regular guitar for years, and have always wanted to learn Steel. Can you help me out, to get started?
Your talent is unbelievable as I am a big country music nut as well. I have never heard anyone on a steele with so much clarity and precision to their playin. DD2 & RV2 does make your sound for sure. I might have to invest into a pair of them for my fiddle.
Dude you are awesome, a friend of mine just taught me that song lastnight on the guitar and to be able to practice it with your video is amazing. God Bless!
Wow! I've been reading the comments, and they're true! You could sign with any BIG U.S. Label. Want to know for sure? Send them your video's. All you'll be talking about is working out the details! AT LEAST, record with some fine artists! Let them know, you're 'out there'! :c) In any case, thanks for posting these video's, I sure enjoy them!
Totally Awesome Job! Steel guitars & Fiddles is what makes Country & Western Music. Please keep posting more great country music like this. I'll get my guitar out & play along.
David, you are so smooth and you make it look so easy.I love a steel and wish god would have given me the ability to play one.Please post more. Thanks,Terry
Hello Dave how beautiful the sound is and what an awesome song. The last song Elvis sang before he died! You play so well Dave truely wonderful and so talented! Great job man. Keep doing what you doand who knows where it will take you!
Hi Dave. First of all I enjoy all your pedal steel videos. I'm a steeler too and wish I could do half the stuff you can! (I'd be a hero in this neck of the woods if I could). lol. Do you have any intentions of doing Gene Watson's Farewell Party on steel for us? It's a great song and I know you could take it one step better! No doubt about that. --- Jimmy Russell - Topsfield, Maine
Thanks Jimmy. I will see what I can do for you. I am very busy at the moment and look forward to setting up the steel at home and recording something, David Hartley
Dave, great picking. My uncle Gene Crossland, my musical mentor, played steel in the Bakersfield-Reno-Vegas circuit in the early 60's. I'm going to put him onto you.
David, Don't post any more videos or there will be dozens of steels for sale on Ebay ( joking of course, keep em coming! ) this is how it should be done. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put up these excellent videos,wonderful playing and an inspiration to us all. Jim Martin
