I was just on youtube.com listening to David Hartley and he is one monster of a Steel Guitar Player.This guy knows right where he is going all the time and never misses a string.He is one of the best Steel players that I have heard.OH I have a lot of Local Steel players that I know and have met and they a great steel players. If I had only started when i we 10 years old i would be as good as all of you.If I had told my Dad when i was 10 years old he would have got me a pedal steel guitar and sent me for lessons. I never told him that so i lost out. I can play but not like I want to.It takes a lot of time and practice,practice, Practice. I have always loved Country music way back in the mid forty's.

| Well, Sammy, I DID start when I was ten years old (actually, 9 years old!), and my dad did pay for me to take lessons (in a class of about thirty other kids), but I still can't play with the quality of David Hartley. The trouble with many of us older guys is that we never learned the correct right hand techniques that separate the "greats" from the rest of us. And believe me, sixty years of doing it the wrong way is pretty habit forming. I, too, admire David's skill and watch his right hand just wishing mine would move like that, but alas, I'll just have to settle for my less than perfect technique. At least I can play well enough to keep my love for the sound of steel guitar alive. |

I've been taking lessons from David for five years, when time allows as he's quite a way from me. And all of us steelies his side of the pond could just sit and watch him play for ages.
Also, check out Derek thurlby. Another Brit who can play like stink! |
