This version has a few new riffs in it from a very loose ET band. Starting at 25:16.

Lots of great steel playing and pretty hot copying of Jim Murphy's riffs. Goods shots at 3:17 in the video below.

Regardless of the power level needed, a steel amp should lots of gain to allow for dynamics, volume swells, volume pedal loss.

Purveyor of that tone? In large part the studio recording and mastering. I’ve noticed that certain studios, many in Texas, have consistently clear but warm steel tone with very little compression o ...

One thing that stuck out for me was his use of the 4/8th string E>Eb and the 5th string B>Bb knee levers and the G# to A floor pedal all at the same time while playing strings 8 through 3! Ama ...

The biggest thing about my Emmons PP was the sustain. The strings sustain for a long long time.

Many of the Chibsons are awesome except for the pickups and some of the wiring. Add a set of pickups off of eBay and you've got a really fine guitar.

Slowed it down and will tab it out. Sounds like he is using the 3rd string open hammer with the B pedal.

Duane, that song sounds like a cross between Buddy Emmons and Pete Drake. But when I close my eyes, all I can hear is Johnny Paycheck’s singing style through George Jones. Great song.

It's possible that the hearing adjustments made by the software are far more extensive than the adjustments that are provided in the user interface screens. The powerful audio processor in the AirPods ...
