This may have been asked at some point,
but I'm wondering who first started using the bar quivering technique you hear on so many records these days? Just curious. I find myself doing it also. |

maybe a pouch with several bars in it, like arrows?
nobody could make a bar quake like Speedy West and Jody Carver
SHivvering? Pete Drake or John Hughey is my guess[This message was edited by Dave Van Allen on 07 October 2004 at 11:06 AM.] |

I think its kind of a natural motion that happens when you put your heart into what you're playing.

Yep, Paddy.
It also makes your liver quiver.[This message was edited by Peter on 07 October 2004 at 12:50 PM.] |

| Hmmm. I think perhaps I should have asked the question a different way (laugh)! If I'm misusing the term "quiver" then let me know what it is when you move the bar back and forth really quickly, achieving that familiar Nashville PSG sound that I'm trying to describe. I like your responses so far. Keep 'em coming! |

...well, shiver me timbers...
...no, David, I was just being my usual smart-ass self...I was making reference to the fact that this is probably more about pedal steel than it is steel players, and will probably be moved to that area... |

I find a bar quiver useful for holding the extra bars before you are ready to shoot. 
And the same size quiver can hold more bars than arrows anyday![This message was edited by David L. Donald on 07 October 2004 at 01:07 PM.] |

If Jeff Newman were here today he probably say a "quiver" would be the 'ole Kitty Well's "TWITTER" HA!

Dave
I think these guys are going to
give you a bad time all the way !
I think I know what you are talking
about - you would hear it in George Jones
tunes - Winny Winston demonstrated it
in his book - so that would put it back in the early 70's or even earlier ! If this is the sound your refering to .

| Actually, I think that the vibrato is more prominent in some of the old 30's and 40's swing and pseudo-Hawaiian stuff. That caffeine-jitter sound has kind of fallen by the wayside as people have moved to using 8-11 ounce bars. Alvino Rey would probably get laughed off a session nowadays. |

Dave's got to be right. It has to be someone who couldn't cheat with all these pedals and levers.
