For those of you that might be interested in the sounds of a preWar Rickenbacher Bakelite lap steel,
you can hear it at its finest by visiting the JERRY BYRD Fan Club web site.
Jerry's playing his six string Ric in C6th tuning.
If you listen closely, you'll hear a number of instances where the TONE of that lil' ole Ric quite literally jumps out and kisses your ear.
Let me hear what you think, okay? |

Ray,
I love Jerry and the Ric tone, but I couldn't figure out where to look on the site to hear him playing one. |

Posted 28 Jun 2010 7:16 pm I'll attempt to give you some meaningful direction.....

Sorry you seem to be confused with our JERRY BYRD Fan Club site.
Altho' the JBFC site URL is posted directly beneath my signature on this post...... it was our hope that folks like you would find the site interesting enough to want to read thro' the vast amounts of text on your way to discovering the music being played. That's how we'd hoped to better acquaint everyone with the fabulous artistry of JERRY BYRD.
But to make it simpler for you.......if you go to the very bottom of page one, the opening page on the web site,,,,,you can hear tune #1.
Then by moving on to JERRY's MUSIC page, again drop clear to the bottom of the page and give a listen to the second song.
Then, if you're at all interested, you can give a listen to the last song posted, and that's at the very bottom of Ray's CD's page.
The players in each of these locations will allow you to start and/or stop each selection. GOOD LUCK!
Thanks for asking........ |

| Tone depends on the quality of the Steel uuitar, and the right Amp with the right settings for that particular Amp. And, most important IMHO, is the execution by the hands of the player which comes naturally to some players, but can be a real struggle for others. |

I agree totally. Some people play with an innate musical sense and others have to spend a lifetime cultivating it -- with differing results. IMHO having some formal experience on non-fret string instruments has really helped me with my expression and tone. This might not be the case for everyone. I can see why they called Byrd the master of feel and tone though.
