Anybody know about this dude?
This is the first time in years that I've heard a pedal player and liked it better than the non-pedal guitar. I like it better than my own playing.
I don't know if it's his tone, or the sound of his guitar or his approach. He has what sounds like a super hot pickup but he plays so clean it's almost unbelievable.
This is exactly what I'm listening for when I hear a C6 player.

| He also has a version of the swing tune "Four Brothers". I never thought I would hear that done so well on PSG. I'm blown away!!! As a person who grew up around the steel guitar, it's not easy to just blow me away. This guy does. And then some!!!! |

| He is the only steel player that has ever caused me to seriously consider leaving the non-pedal steel and changing over to pedals. I'm starting to think the steel has more to do with who's driving rather than the machine itself. I've always heard a certain set of cliche licks played by almost everyone and this has left me thinking the instrument is a matter of mechanics. But Richad Nelson has opened my mind to a whole new set of possibilities. Like the things he plays are coming from his mind rather than all the Rube Goldberg stuff under the instrument. |
