| Stu Basore died some weeks ago. He played steel behind a lot of country artists. In my mind he did never got as much credit of nice steelguitar playing as he should! |

Totally agree, Uffe.
He played on a 1980 Jean Shepard album on Gusto, with re-recordings of her older hits. His back-up and solo on "City Lights" is perhaps the best steel work I have ever heard, everything by Lloyd & Buddy included. |

Nice work Stu, and also impressive to see Loretta using bar chords up the neck instead of using a "cheater" like most artists today...

Don Helms for sure. He was a regular on the Wilburn Brothers Show before Hal and Curly.
Kind Regards, Walter

It is easier to get a chunky country swing feel on rhythm guitar if you play barre chords. If you want the ringing sparkly sustain of open strings for a folky country ballad in Eb, you use a capo at fret 1 and play open position chords in D.
The capo is not a cheater bar, it is a very useful tool for making an artistic choice. But it is too bad that country swing is not a stylistic choice among so many modern recording artists. |

Yes, I understand, and agree. However, my observation comes from playing years with bands where the guitarists could only play 3 or so chords, and would capo the rest, lol.

Ah, well in that case, you’re right. I have been in bands where the singer didn’t know their keys, let alone the chords to the song or how to play all 3 of them. Loretta rocks! |
