Way to go Doug. Excellent playing and tone.
Some songs seem almost as though they were written for the pedal steel.

Doug,
After listening to your rendition, I'm convinced it would be difficult to match your popular loyalty to the art of playing pedal steel guitar. You have my vote for becoming one of New England's finest instrumentalists. An amazing accomplishment on your part. Thanks.. |

Really, really decent, Doug.
...clean harmonics and I loved the high register part.
Have you tried a non-pedal rendition?
I would love to have heard Jerry Byrd play that selection. |

Great. This is one of the few videos where we can see which pedals and knee levers you're using ...at least with your left leg.  |

Excellent  I also like your collection of bars--all you need now is a Zirc bar. |

Doug,
I find myself humming "Let It Be Me" while I'm in the kitchen making toast; (first thing in the morning). There is something about that particular melody that touches on the dramatization of love and life, that is irresistible. It is as if it were composed as a score for a movie, with all the dramatics and trimmings. A real timely benefit to those looking for technique on the pedal steel. |

Wow, that blows me away. How can you follow that ?  I don't know which I lust after most, Emmylou or Albert's guitar talent. |

Unfortunately, it's a choice I was never presented with.  |

I know we are drifting from the original thread, but it's never a problem to stop and acknowledge pure talent.
Besides their shared musical genius, Buddy and Albert probably win the lifetime award for looking like they love what they do, just about all the time. Their smiles turn into ours.
That Luxury Liner clip kills.
Thanks again Doug for the post |

As usual, another very fine performance..........
The camera angle 'is perfect' as others have stated.
I find your ever changing accompaniment for your various solo's to be most intriguing. I'm curious how much time you devote to finding all of the right combinations for bass, etc. |

| I just played Let It Be Me again, twice. It sounds better each time I play it. Great song. I've been a lifetime Everly Brother fan and this was always one of my favorites. I went to see them live two years ago on their European Tour, and they had a great pedal steel guitarist. On their folk numbers he doubled on Dobro. |

Alan, was that the "Big E" with the Everly Brothers?
I was at the Orleans in L.V. when the Everly Brothers were there and Buddy was playing for them then (a few years ago).
I think he was playing a LeGrande III.

Thanks S.M., The bass patterns are preset in band-in-a-box for each "style". I have no control over the bass other than choosing a style for the song and setting the volume level of each instrument.
I usually spend a few minutes trying different BIAB styles to find a suitable one for the song I'm playing. It takes about 5 minutes to put a track together, type in the chords, set the volume levels of the instruments, tempo, maybe some stops, a tag at the end, and maybe a sustained chord at the end, etc.
