Gorgeous!!!
Is Gary dropping his 10th a step-and-a-half? I wonder if his set-up is available anywhere.
Thanks, Sid - I enjoyed that.

He consistently impresses me with both his style and tone. I watch the Marty Stuart Show videos for hours when he's on.

| That's awesome stuff, Gary!! You were playing a bunch of "adult chords" in there. |

| Outstanding right hand form. Newbies take note. Also notice there is no drop his wrist on his left hand. Something I have seen many players guilty of. |

Gary has been very good for a very long time. And somewhere, I have an old autographed picture of Gary and Cheryl, even older than the one below. In that one, he's playing an old 3-neck Gibson Multi-Harp.

Donny,
Thanks so much for posting that photo. One Saturday in 1968 I played at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and The Carter Kids were booked on the same show. Never heard anything like it. Cheryl and Gary played Panhandle Rag and Steel Guitar Rag. You would have sworn Buddy and Leon were on stage. They played The Troubadours arrangements . . . note for note. It's no wonder Gary plays so well today. Thanks again.
ps: he was playing that Baldwin - Sho~Bud cross-over when I saw them.
Craig

| If you don't have Gary's CD, you're missing out on some of the best playing you'll ever hear. |

| Thanks Sid... there's some amazing stuff going on in steel guitar and I can't recall ever having a song make such an impression. Amazing player. |

I agree Tom. His use of those adult chords and the shape of his right hand, very masterful--I'd take lessons from him in a minute.

Roger and Paul,
Not sure about Gary's set-up on this particular song, but his E9 set-up on the Zum he plays on the Marty Stuart Show (dated Feb 2014):
It strikes me as pretty original! |

Thank you, Greg. Some food for thought there!
I swear I heard a low G# on the 10th string in that clip. Wax in my ears?

My 10th already drops to an A but, happily, I've found that there's enough room to take it down a step-and-a-half.
What fun, and how the sound of E9 is fattened up with that extra range.

He plays a G# minor chord on only open strings with the low G# (0:09 and 0:30). Rather than pedal the 10th string down to G#, it seems he may have tuned it down to G#.
The string of harmonics just before the end is phenomenal! |

This is a really cool song and kinda of a more detailed screenshot. Probably been seen by many YouTube surfers, but still really neat.

I really enjoyed that last one.
He has some kicking licks and great production.

Hi Roger, you hear what you hear, and you're probably right (my ears aren't good enough to tell, at least not right away).
His E9 tuning on his Zum is really food for thought - his LKL that raises his 4th string to F# and his 6th string to G# is really useful, especially in the A/F position (as an A and B pedal sound), but also in the no pedals position playing a IV chord. I split these changes (raise to F# on a knee lever, and raise to G# on a pedal - the 'Bovine pedal' - next to the A pedal) and use them all the time.
He didn't mention his splits, though if he has half stops on strings 1 and 2 (raising to G, then G# on string 1, and lowering to D and then to C# on string 2) then it's quite economical - two changes for the price of one. If he doesn't have half stops he can get the D note by using his LKR and his RKR to get the split.
His 9th string D to Eb is something I've used a lot, originally inspired by Winnie Winston. He can use his RKR then his LKR to get that nice low C# - Eb change. Of course, this lever movement also gets him the C# - E sound on the 2nd string. Lovely!
He seems to me a most under-rated player. |

Well, of course, it's beautifully executed but it's standard E9 fare.
I missed hearing the grown-up chords he plays in the other clips .....
