Nice, Mike! I like the Byrd-style quick single note walk up. Coincidentally, I've been playing that tune as an ear arrangement for years and only just recently wrote it all down as an arrangement. Fun tune.

Thank you Andy, Yes there are a easier ways to play that riff, but there is something really organic about keeping the tune flowing this way. Also great slant practice. Will be interesting to see your version if you decide to publish it.
Thanks also Doug, I think we are all standing on the shoulders of the great's and hopefully in the end something of our own personality will break through. Alas with this song I was so influenced by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ9_ktuGWL8
This was one of the videos that got me wanting to play Lap Steel Guitar.....It is mega in my opinion!

| I enjoy your playing very much, Mike. I do have a ways to go, I guess, after seeing Garland Nash play it! |

Thank you Joe.
Doug and Joe. I have no idea who Garland Nash was but I liked this video from before I started playing Lap Steel Guitar. Now I know a little about playing lap Steel I like this video even more......Just a great player.
Andy that is a cool take. Love that swinging rocking vibe. Always amazes me how one's personal style can come through on the steel guitar. |

Thanks, Mike. I'm more of a jazz-influenced guy but that one really seemed to channel a vibe I don't usually get.
Garland was definitely one of the best Jerry Byrd-influenced lap steelers I've heard. There were, and are, are many amateur and semi-pro players out there who are way under the radar but play exquisitely. Wayne Tanner is another in this category who had a long drink from the Byrd well.

True. I see a lot of very good, unknown players on Youtube and I often think that if they were better at promoting themselves or had the interest to do so, they would become better known.
Another thought I had while watching the Garland Nash video... he also played pedal steel guitar. I think if more PSG players applied their skills to non-pedal we’d hear a lot of great playing on lap steel!
