What does everyone think of Jerry's contribution?
I know he wasn't really a pedal steel player- but to many of my generation and location the best way to describe what a pedal steel guitar is would be to mention "Teach Your Children"
Anybody know what kind of axe he played? |

Don't expect to get a big response to this one. No offense, of course, but it's been covered so many times...
Try a search for "Jerry Garcia" and you'll find more than you could ever wish for...

| hey, jerry played a zb custom thru a fender twin. with the new riders he also added effects, some say with good taste, others can't stand it. to each his own, but he is the reason i got into steel. i am a deadhead and love his part on teach your children, and his new riders stuff. i know he isn't technically the best player, but the parts he played in the music were distinctly with his stamp on them. hope this helps |

Thanks Chris, I've been listening quite a bit to the Riders with Buddy Cage- but not to the album Jerry played on- what's it called?
I heard an intersting version of the evewnts at the CSNY session whioch yeilded Teach Your Children. Seems that Jerry wanted EVERYTHING just so - and drove the others crazy.
If you listem to the track it has far more in common with Dead albums of the time than that the track does with the other tracks on the album.
Thanks too Mark- I'm sure it has.
As a newbie, I'm sure I'll probably ask a lot of things which have been overcovered!
Add: As a newbie, some of the most basic, things are the most interesting- I'm sure proper seating position has been gone over 1000 times- but reading about it today helps those of us who've never had a lot of people willing/able to discuss the steel guitar |
