Jeff Au Hoy, sounds great. Nice tone.
Can you do this style on a 10 string pedal steel? |

Cool lesson--I like his "you can do it" coaching style. It's clear that Buddy, Lloyd, Jimmy borrowed from him. Thanks. |

I'm not sure who borrowed from who.

It could be my imagination, but I hear Byrd's sweet sustained tone and slides in those guys' work . . . especially Buddy's. I Figured Byrd was first because of chronology, but maybe I'm wrong. |

Jerry's video is concise and to the point. Its a great and correct lesson for how to hold and control the bar for intonation and vibrato. |

Sounds like you're a big Jerry Byrd fan. Did you by chance read his book? I'm curious if he was a veteran. Do you know? I have a feeling a lot of WWII sailors got into Hawaiian music based on where they were stationed. |
If you haven't read Jerry Byrd's book "It Was A Trip On The Wings Of Music" I highly recommend it. Great history there. In it he tells in 1941 of being in the hospital with a false TB diagnosis and a collapsed lung when the draft board came to visit and they gave him a 4-F rating.
He said " I would have much prefered to go to war than to be in the condition I was in".
There is so much much more in the book about sailors going thru Hawaii and his origins that it is a must read read for any steel guitar aficionado. |
