Someone To Give My Love To Jeff Newman ISGC 1993

[Steelpicker]

Showman for sure. Jeff was NOT a showoff

[SteelguitarLane]

@morninghopewindow, he didn't twist the pegs, he pressed on the strings between nut and tuning pegs. Showman or showoff? I dunno, but it's cool

[reverbie65]

His Wife Fran is still running it dont know who she has for steel guitar teachers

[Steelpicker]

@reverbie65 Yes, Fran is still running the business, but in a smaller way. She is not using a "teacher". She continues to use all the teaching material that Jeff made.

[MAfiddler]

What an astounding player! Awsome!

[hardhead9640]

Im an up and coming steel player who was introduced to Jeff by my music instructor whom took Jeff's steel class years ago. What a remarkable individual with an exceptional talent who will be missed.

[Houstonsteelman]

I took a class in 1984...and enjoyed Jeff .. he was quite a character.. with his dry humor.. Those are super fond memories of Jeff and Fran.. God Rest His Soul...

[morninghopewindow]

Using the tuning pegs...genius! Sounds so good!!

[PlumfulPixie]

makin' it look easy.....Gotta love Jeff Newman

[steinsteel]

A young rebellious boy in a grown mans body.What a creative soul he was.

Great stuff

[UnknownSteelPlayer]

jeff help me so much I love you fran

[strumsabit100]

Did anyone take over that pedal steel school that Mr. Newman had before he passed?

[Steelpicker]

Jeff's wife, Fran, has continued with the business.  She had a booth at the ISGC this past weekend.

[IrvHyatt]

@Steelpicker

I had all the papers to register, then someone stole my guitar.

Talk about the big SUCK

[dougaim4gross]

All of Jeff's Lessons are recorded on DVD and are availabe at jeffran.com

[aishasgoat]

I went through most of the material of these very rare Newman performances.

In my consideration, this is probably one of his most finest and best tunes.

It is really a shame, that this man is not recognised, for something he trully was:

A GOD in his own field.

Where has the world gone, that the majority of the population is satisfied with some silly rapper chap monkey tumes?

How can we preserve this Stuff?

Digitally remastered and sold at every single Record Store , our kids might step by.

[resopicker]

I keep coming back to this.....thanks Jeff!

[MrPoco1]

I am just learning to play but selected Jeff as a teacher even though he is not here he has somehow reached out to me.

[gmk61]

I used to love his columns in Guitar Player magazine, although I had no interest in country or lap steel at the time.

[resopicker]

Omigawd "packingten" I saw that too! In the middle of Larry Sasser's set I think it was. Jeff got messing with that little Sho-Bro demo steel, and four big guys carried him AND the little steel off the stage. It was hillarious! I was in the front row center that year, and have audio cassettes of the entire show!

Rest in peace Jeff, you are missed more than I know how to say.

[packingten]

Jeff was a first rate Person and one of the best players period, He was also a lot of Fun to be around. I saw them carry him off the stage at Steel Convention after He got ahold of Doug Jernigans little steel and played it with Larry Sasser and the Nashville Now Band in 1987, Really gonna miss Him

[mannfm11]

Absolutely beautiful. Guys like this get lost in the music.

[shifter3479]

Steelpicker, have you been holding out on us? Jeff Newman is sensational. More please.

[nancymaxes]

WOW he was great. Cant stop watching this video. To watch his face while he is playing tells it all,He just loved playing.

[UTMarkMan]

I hope God is letting Jeff Share his talents in Heaven, Cause we sure miss him here.

[resopicker]

Not enough "stars" to even try to rate this. God rest his soul, this is Jeff at his best! What a loss. I saw him play many times, both at Scotty's Convention, and Bob Maickel's shows in Armonk N.Y. and later at Norwalk Ct.

[resopicker]

Looks like he's messing with the strings behind the roller nut? I've seen Jeff play many times and I miss him. He was a great entertainer as well as a musician.

[highdesertblues]

Does anyone know what amps Jeff is using hear? It looks like a monster setup!

[Steelpicker]

He's using 2 of the Tweed covered Peavey Classics w/ 15" Black Widow speakers. He is also using a Peavey ProFex up front of them

[highdesertblues]

So solid state isn't the only option.I'm new to pedal steel,waiting for my student model and have been reading about all the solid state amps that are popular.Jeff's version of this song is truly inspirational. Thanks.

[docsavage98]

just goes to show the left hand is over rated in steel playing :) Got to hang around Jeff some back in the early 80's in Watertown...great man...infectious laugh!

[122712271227]

I remember playing his instruction record(And A Few Good Friends)til I wore it out. Sadly everyone forgot how original a player Jeff was because of his brilliant teaching. If you could find a version of his Steel Guitar Rag from the same album it would be great!!!!.

[AustinSTEEL]

jeff newman is one of my favorites!!! thanks bill

[Wisegeorge]

I remember going to a couple of Jeff's seminars when my wife was trying to learn to play. There was a whole big room full of steel guitars and players. It was like an Uber-cool Convention. I loved it. He was considered one of the best, even twenty five years ago.

[paparag]

Jeff Newman is going to continue to help thanks to his lessons. Great video here. Thank you

[pedalman]

jeff newman will continue to help and influence steel players for many many years, i have just got several of his DVD lessons from Gerry Hogan and they are superb , worth every penny. On them Jeff is so clear in his thinking and this comes across in his own great playing, what a great way to play this Johnny Paycheck song.

[WillyJames3461]

Jeff was a superb touch and tone technician on the pedal steel guitar. This is a wonderful creative rendition by a great and talented man. We miss him and we will continue to miss him......Great Sound, Great Song......

[eightstring]

Wow ! This is a super video....thanks

[MrPoco1]

Are there any more videos of Jeff playing?

[Steelpicker]

Yes, I have lots. I will try and get some more up soon.

Bill
