In an attempt to preserve and promote a style of Hawaiian Steel Guitar playin' ... that I feel may be fadin' away ...
I.E. ... Jerry Byrd Slant Bar Style ...
I have added a new page to my website ...
It will contain the tab and mp3 ... of a short passage ... from one of JB's Pro-Arrangements ... that I feel demonstrates this style of playin'.
Since its just me, don't expect too much ... but I'm gonna give it a-go ...
Give me somethin' to do while feedin' Tucker durin' the day and some incentive to head down to my "Lair" and play some in the evenin's ... 
Here's a direct link: Slants of the Week
Or just click the link under Quasi ...
I hope to "catch" a decent sample and tab it ... once a week

Thanks Ric, great way to study and learn. One thing I'm finding myself doing more and more is playing the melody line without any harmony under it first. I then try and see how the line is harmonized under it and what it might possible mean as far as what all the intervals relate to as a foundational chord/scale etc relative to that melody note. I believe Joe Pass did something kinda similar.  |

...great sound, Rick __ very, very clean.
Are you using a 3/4" dia. bar to make those "split-string" slants? I know Jerry did.
I play a few tunes with "split-string" triads; but I'm using a short 7/8" dia. bar (Fender string spacing). It sounds OK to me; but some players say 3/4" is more accurate.

Best non-musican scene in the BBs! "..boys have returned to me as thieves, with filthy mounths and bad attitudes!"
Can you see the light!?!

Thanks Rick,
The Slants of the Week is excellent and I want to encourage you to keep it going. I especially like that you have included an audio transcription and a rhythm play-along track.
Although we've never met, please know that I appreciate all that you have done and continue to do for the steel guitar community. Your generosity is inspiring.[This message was edited by Mitch Druckman on 02 May 2006 at 05:27 PM.] |

| I would be interested in the use of C# instead of the C tuning. I've been wanting to try it out but would love to see some good tab. Thanks Rick. |

If you mean the C# on the "6th" string ... next weeks "passage" will have an excellent example ... how JB used this C# to create one of his many "signature" sounds.
If you are referring to C#m7 tuning ... I ain't gonna be much help there ... 
I only play in C6/A7 or E9 ...

| CC, nope, but I've been to Rosa's Cantina. Rick, my little sweetheart has this crazy notion about me bringing money into the household. I don't understand it but I guess I'll put up with it for 3 or 4 more years. The "fringe benefits" are outstanding! |

I wanna be Rick Aiello when I grow up. I'm pretty sure I'm older than you though. You are just an inspiring example of taking something you are passionate about and making your dreams happen.
Let's see . . .

Of course, family man. I'm sure there's lots I'm leaving out. Thanks for the slant lessons. I for one will be checking in every week. They are a great suppliment to his other teaching material.
