Thanks Rick! Yes, trying to play a variety of real instruments and engineer at the same time is a real pain. I'm all for making life easier.

I usually track my own recordings on steel direct and it's an incredibly clean sound but the recordings I have made with an amp and mic have more of that classic crying steel sound but don't mic it ve ...

Heck Yeah!! Tight Chops!

So we have two votes for Tommy Morrell (both by Jim Cohen!). I would agree... except that the post specifies "PSG", i.e., PEDAL steel guitar. I know Tommy played pedal steel some, but I thin ...

I toured with Ray Price and Claude Gray in 1967. I'm still alive and pickin'.

Yes you were Bob and one of the best the music business ever had. You always amaze me on whatever instrument you chose ...

I would say Barbara Mandrell qualifies. She was with the Mandrells playing steel in the 50's and 60's when she was knee high to a grasshopper and not only famous but later became a TV superstar.

You reach quite a different audience on Facebook.For instance people have inquired about pedal steels I was playing on Facebook and wanted to get one and learn and when I suggested the Steel Guitar Fo ...

Ben also played the haunting steel parts on Patsy Cline's I Fall To Pieces hit. I thought it was pretty cool. Totally contrary to the way other steel players play.

As stated earlier, it's the shear weight of the parts inside the case that breaks a steel apart. Usually the wall between the pedal bar and guitar collapses. I've had other airlines give me my case al ...

I look at it like this, I have a house full of pedal steels both old and the newest designs available. I won't grab my new Paul Reed Smith or Yamaha Grand piano if I want an old Telecaster and Steinwa ...

Thanks Larry! Yes, guitars I had purchased over the last 7 years. The EMCI types I built myself from parts I found on the internet and steel forum.

A little collection/ medley of some of the steel guitar videos I made for Facebook over the years. I quit playing music live over 17 years ago long before I discovered Facebook but occasionally dust a ...

Always admire how you put things together and get such good consistent sound, and then on top of that being able to play EVERYTHING that went into it. Something I can only shake my head at.

I did get a little distracted looking at at the picture you used!

Thank you Larry!

G.E. Smith (of "Saturday Night Live" fame) on lead guitar.
That's right. He's played live and recorded for many big name artist. Fender even builds a G.E Smith Telecaster like his.

The steel playing was fine. As far as the arrangement of the tune, I thought it butchered a truly beautiful song.

I felt the same way hearing the new version of Tennessee Whiskey but he probably ...

That's some good work right there. I understand very much all the work that goes into these things. I enjoyed it. Keep it up. I have a couple of things "in the can" that I'm working on betwe ...

I bought that album the week it became available. That's where I learned to play Crazy Arms. Great album!

I'm late to this discussion and thanks Dale Rottacker! Dale gets the biggest, richest, fattest most beautiful steel tone I've ever heard for playing steel guitar instrumentals and that's including all ...

I like that rendition. I always liked that song. The steel players part was just perfect for what they were doing. Cool!
