MY DAD, Jerry Fleming Sr. Built his 3rd steel guitar with my grandpa and it is beautiful and my favorite!!! It is jet glossy black. I grew up in a musical family and my grandpa played with Earnest Tubb. We could probably talk about stories about them, and Paul Franklin, and Buddy Emmons, SHOT Jackson, Jack Fleming and WSM, and etc. etc. all day long! Thanks... Thanks A Lot! Good Lick!!!, I appreciate ya! Jerry Fleming Jr. Virginia
I was born Mexico leave in the USA for 50 years it was so beautiful to hear the steel guitar when I heard that steel guitar I new Thas was good dam country music I don’t hear that anymore bring that back ❤ love it
My dad learned to play on a triple neck Fender. He was inspired by in the South Pacific during the island cleanup after WWII. H e had several MSAs, a Sho-bud and many more peddle steels. I miss the sound of the islands that he was known for. He really liked C6 for blues and E9th for more contemporary country. He had 8 peddles and 6 knee levers and could make about any sound imaginable. As pop would say , that’s a good lick.
As a kid who grew up in this modern world, once I saw a group of old timers playing these instruments, I never listened to music the same again. You HAVE TO see old school country live. It truly is magical, it makes this new stuff seem boring as hell
I'm obsessed with this song, the instrumentation is so unique. I love the jazzy piano chords that abruptly end, along with the low-pitched flute sounding instrument and the steel guitar sound? These three instruments are so different and butt in at seemingly randomly points but together they sound so cohesive.
You know steel guitar and horn sections sound really good together! Bob Wills music for instance puts them both together. Oh and this lick is in one of my songs called Gettin Lucky in Kentucky
@@AlexMillerCountry Oh that's so strange, it posted my comment on your video! I was originally posting this on Clairo's new single Sexy to Someone, but I think it posted here cause I opened your short on top of it. But the reason I came here was cause the an instrument in the chorus of that song that sounded so cool and reminded of a steel or hawaiian-like guitar. And your short was great, I also love your demonstration of the steel guitar.
My grandfather had a one of a kind 3 teir Bigsby. Had original receipts and correspondence between Bisgby and my grandfather about the customizations. It was mother of pearl inlay with his nickname on it. Even an ashtray for the typical musician in the 50s. Sold at Christie's auction house.
Omg who was your grandpa! Those Bigsby steels are the best lap guitars ever made! I’m sure yall got a really good price for that thing! But they’re almost priceless to a steel player
@AlexMillerCountry His name was Walter Martin, Coy was his stage name. They might still have the auction video. Christie's auction in New York sold it along with a custom Gibson and a Redbud steel, which was custom as well. He worked at Gibson and had the guys he worked with make his acoustic Gibson with plug, pickups, and plate for hole to become electric when needed. A Gibson banjo was sold as well.
Bro you are such a friendly looking chap and it’s awesome. Your enthusiasm and the fact that it looks like you’ve been crying from laughter make this some legit wholesome goodness.
My grandfather had one of these, along with a 60’s Martin Amp and a Gretsch semi hollow. It was willed to me, but left it with my father for better storage. When I was 14, my stepsister got a boyfriend that played in a trash punk band. My dad decided that the temporary fling deserved my music gear more than me, and gave this boy all the gear. He and his band filmed a music video where they destroyed all the gear for a metaphor, not even a week later.
I've never been much of a country fan, but I'm in love with the sound of a lap steel. I think it should be in more types of music, besides just country and Hawaiian. Way to go, kiddo! It's really cool to see a young person keeping the tradition alive!
I worked at a pawn shop, we had a pedal steel on the floor for 3 months. I tried every day to figure out its mysteries. Never got any further than the intro to Dire Wolf by the Dead.
Got that SpongeBob sound. I like it
Played by Patrick apparently.
@@DG-mv6zw 😂ahh man come on lol
Thanks for taking up for me! If I’m Patrick then the other guy is Pearl 😂
First thing I thought about
Hank sound... kids these days
Modern Country music needs to bring back this type of guitar.... Box sings....
Try “yellow banks” they are a new country group but have an old tone that I really enjoy.
blue rodeo
Already is just not on the front page my friend
Modern country isnt country even it’s just slightly different pop songs
Check out the Roues Brothers
Dudes a breath of fresh air. Need more of em.
Well thank you! I just enjoy this instrument and glad everyone else is as well!
@@AlexMillerCountryAll BS aside, you have a genuine vibe. As your channel grows please keep that vibe
The steel guitar has such a unique and beautiful sound. I love it.
No it's the player
Thank you!
Western Swing aint dead.... Its Asleep at the Wheel!!
That’s very true!
Steel guitar always takes me back to New Vegas
It’s a great video game!
This young man has a future
everything about this guy is straight out of the 1950s
Just needs racism
@dEllDIIb thanks for your comment there, Skippy. Now go find a cliff and see what's at the bottom of it.
Man that sounds great 👍
"YOU LET THE BLUES MOVE IN NOW I'M MOVIN OUT!!" 🎶
TELL ME WHATS IN A KISS! IF YOUR HEARTS NOT IN IT
EAST OR WEST OR NORTH OR DUE SOUTH
Yall are my people
That's so cool. Definitely one of my favorite instruments.

This is what makes a country music star.
Your video is a great relief from other types of presentation presentation.Enjoyable enjoyable enjoyable
It’s so refreshing to see a young person with such knowledge. Keep it up!
Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys was one of the Greatest bands ever!
You should do some play-a-longs.
This is the most “y’all take care now” energy I’ve ever experienced

Bob Wills is still the king.
The Honky Tonks in Texas are my Natural Second Home

I love you, young man!! You’re so talented and so sweet. ❤
If I could like this 1000x, I would. The steel speaks to my soul 👌

What a charming voice! Sick lick too my guy
Respect to that controlled vibrato. 😮
That sound got under my skin decades ago and never left, it is comfort food for my ears 👍👍
Now for those who don't know music, what he said went right over your heads.
Bro you are such a friendly looking chap and it’s awesome. Your enthusiasm and the fact that it looks like you’ve been crying from laughter make this some legit wholesome goodness.
Man I love lapsteel guitarists they never fail to amaze me. As a bassist sometimes I feel like I chose the wrong instrument.

Love steel guitar
I worked at a pawn shop, we had a pedal steel on the floor for 3 months. I tried every day to figure out its mysteries. Never got any further than the intro to Dire Wolf by the Dead.
They’re certainly not easy instruments!
Anything with strings or a string is right down my alley. Sounds great
Love a good steel player.
SOME OF THE BEST COUNTRY MUSIC HAS THE STEEL GUITAR
I love that steel you keep on playing now you hear
That is GROOVY
It's definitely a "All my exes" by George Straight vibe. Great stuff.
High school boy damn good steel!
Absolutely great to see younger people playing steel. This vid made my day. Pulling out the ShoBud tonight.
Dope
Perfect
Steel Guitar looks cool as hell. I really want to learn it.
Kid don’t let them take your soul. ✌️
Lost sound lost art love it
Had the pleasure of studying under Mr. Leon McCulif in claremore at Rodger state he was an amazing player
I expect too hear this wonderful sound if i ever go back into a honky tonk...
I used to have an old Buddy Emmons pedal steel back in the 1970s.
Tell me what's in a kiss, if your heart aint in it.
One of my favorite sounds on earth. 🎶
