My Dad lost his leg earlier this year and I'm trying to get him into this sport.😉
Doug- just woke up from having my leg amputated from a motorcycle accident - had some Jello then to UA-cam and found beautiful music!! FANTASTIC!!THANK YOU!!!
Good luck to you brother. Peace.
John, Thank you for your kind comment. I wish you all the best.
Good luck man. May God keep his hands on you while you recover.
John just reading about your unfortunate circumstances. Best of luck to the future. And in the future you get back on a bike as soon as possible. May you have a good and healthy recovery. Stay strong....
@@davem9445 Dave- Thank You-Iam hoping to ride again but I don't know for sure- although I've been looking at new bikes and I've been waking up and wanting to ride so who knows. Again - Thank You!
Please never take this video down. Your interpretation is in my top favourites, along with Johnny Cash and Stan Jones
Wow, thanks! This is one of the first videos I made, 2010. I recorded it on an early iPod, the first one with video capability, so the quality is not the best, but people seem to like it. Thanks again.
@@bettyclark6886 Wow, thank you, Betty!
Always a favorite of heirloom Country music. Love that sound. Very nicely played!!
Thanks for checking it out!
WOW!! Thanks, Doug! There is NO bad version of this song, but this is certainly one of the very best!
Thanks Fred! I’m glad you like it 😎
just the greatest sounding instrument, learning to play this after listening to it for 40 years.
Yeah, I love the steel guitar! Best of luck in your journey of learning.
At age 76 , this is one of my all time favorite songs and I've never heard a better version than this!
I’m glad you like it! 😎🎅🏻🤠
Awesome! Long ago at some Shrinner event..out west someplace lol...a "restaurant "...the band played this & lites flashed, thunder cracked...as a headless horseman flashed pasted 2 windows.
Just sharing.
Another senior remembers the good ole days.
I was just telling my wife, this is my all time favorite song. You've made the Ghost Riders very happy with your rendition.
That’s great! Thanks 😎
I'll tell you man I was having a rough day. I came across this by chance and it picked me up a little. My brother used to play and I felt like a kid again just hanging out listening to some one play for fun. Thank you
That’s awesome! Glad you like it 😎🙏👍
I have always loved this song, and your performance lives up to all my expectations. Fantastic job. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
“It's said that the West was built on legends. And that legends are a way of understanding things greater than ourselves. Forces that shape our lives, events that defy explanation. Individuals whose lives soar to the heavens or fall to the earth. This is how legends are born.”
this song was introduced by Burl Ives in february 1949, the year i was born and can't count the number of musicians i've heard perform it and still love it every time i hear it. thank you!
Thanks for listening! Glad you like it 🤠
That is an incredibly beautiful cover... that guitar sounds heavenly!
Thank you! I also have a PEDAL STEEL GUITAR version of this song --> ua-cam.com/video/5YdHqxTcBfI/v-deo.html
One of my uncles, now passed away, could really play this instrument. He played this one, plus banjo, flattop, electric guitar and Spanish guitar. Very talented. Oh yeah, he also flew a crop duster Bi-Wing Stearman when he was not busy as he used to say.
Man, I used to live in Texas and heard steel guitar all the time and I MISS IT. Thank you Doug for all you do, buddy.
Glad you like it, Guy!
WOW, I remember growing up, that was one of the best tunes of all times.
Thanks for listening! 😎

Someday when I grow up..... I'll play it that good! I'm 66 so maybe by the time I'm 75. LOL. You are the one inspiration I needed to get me playing again.
Thanks! I'm 66 too. I was 60 when I recorded this video, but I've been playing for a long time. Cheers
I've played guitar and bass for 46 years. My left hand is giving me real problems, so I'm trying out lap steel. Thanks for giving us old gappers something to aspire to. You play AWESOME!
Thanks!
Doug! That was so awesome bro.!!
Really great job. Love the sound and that song. You did it justice my friend..
👍✌😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Many thanks! 😎
Love this piece. And played on a wonderful instrument!
Many thanks! 😁
Virtuoso level. You will never have to worry about going hungry to bed. There'll always be gigs for a great player like you.
Greetings from Denmark.
Thank you so much! Yes, I've been playing steel guitar in bands for almost 50 years. The steel guitar has been my best friend, no doubt about it. Thanks for watching. 😊👍
This was one of my favorite songs when I was young! Great!
One of my favs too! Thanks for listening. 😎
Playing like this is a gift. Great job!
Thanks Todd! 😎
Every once in a while I go on a steel guitar UA-cam binge and this is always my first song. Absolutely killer job, man!
+Vincent Cuttitta Hey, thanks! I appreciate it.
One of my VERY FAVORITES!!! He plays that wonderful tune (Ghost Riders in The Sky;) beautifully!!! Excellent!!!
Thanks for listening! Glad you like it. 😎
This is Awesome ..the rhythem and lyrics are rejoicing and relaxing..Magnificient sound ..I listened to Ghost Riders when growing up..Still sounding great.
Thanks for listening!
@@dougsteel thank you for texting.
I agree with Mr. Mettler, this tune has been one of my very favorites ever since it was published or heard, Doug, you handle the tune beautifully.
Great. I like the song and your rendition was spot on. Loved it!
Thanks for checking it out! Glad you like it.
Love that run halfway through, legit sounds like there's a delay pedal on and it's perfect.
Thanks! yes, I used a Boss delay pedal on this one. Can’t believe this video is 10 years old now. 😎
Excellant Doug!!! Have always loved this instrumental.
Thanks for listening! 😎
Awesomely beautiful love the sound of the steel guitar just magic thank you.
Thanks for listening! 😊
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I try to get a full tone with a little hint of delay. Sometimes I like an overdriven blues tone, like on my youtube video called "Blues Jam - Lap Steel Guitar" Cheers
there is nothing like steel guitar in the hands of the Master an awesome play Thank you for the upload
Thanks for listening! Glad you like it. 😁
Never get tired of listening to this one.

This is my 4th attempt to make positive comment on the wonderful Steel Guitar, Thank you Doug, nothing can ever replace the 'Country Sound' Many thanks for a great number. Terry Offord Australia
Thanks Terry, I'm glad you like it!
Quite possibly the best non-pedal steel playing that I've ever heard. Absolutely awesome playing!
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Doug,
That was absolutely fabulous. Wow! I have never heard it done so well.
Keep it up dear person. And may Jesus continue to bless you with talents like this.
WOW! Love it!
Thanks! Much appreciated.
@pat dee, I agree! Great version.
Hello, I didn't know that Hagstrom made lap steels. I had a Hagstrom guitar back in the 1970s. Made in Sweden, I believe. Thanks
Just terrific! both feet being busy with this wonderful tune being played by a 'know how'!
😎🤠😎
Wonderful. Brought back memories of my dad playing his steel.
That’s great, Thanks! 😎
I'm so impressed just amazed by your skill
Thanks for listening! Glad you like it 😊
I'm glad you like it! Cheers
Nothing sings like a steel guitar and you make it sing so very well, thank you.
Thanks for listening! 😎
Wow... you made me tear up. Beautiful. And the harmonics at the end...splendid. Tnx for the memories.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it 😊
This is great, love the steel guitar as an instrument.
😎🙏👍
This is so great. Why don't more people play this instrument?
That is one of THE saddest facts of life I know of. I started to play lapsteel in 1945 in Tampa, Florida. I had to hide it on days I took it to school and then the studio where I took lessons.
They all thought it was nothing but "Hillbilly". That stigma is STILL there today. Sadder: MOST directors and producers do NOT want it; unless the song is pure "country". And even there, some will NOT use it at all because of the "hillbilly" stigma. Yet it is capable of playing most any music genre' ever known. And in many cases it is absolutely gorgeous. Even natives of a particular music will say, "I can not believe this!".
Click on this link just as just one example: ua-cam.com/video/MgRXxlrXwFk/v-deo.html
(Note: EVERY "voice" was done on the SAME steel guitar by the world's greatest steel guitar player (Buddy Emmons) and then dubbed for the recording; believe it or not. He later performed it on stage to a stunned Steel Guitar hall full of players of the instrument. "HOW did he do that; and shaking of heads; could be seen and heard for hours after he played it?".
So we have THE world's most beautiful musical instrument UN known by 99% of the people in the world. How many times have we heard a person say, "That was beautiful. What is that instrument?"
Oh well.
Shhhhhh don't tell everyone. Don't worry we'll keep it goin.

Southern California has a busy country music scene but a dearth of pedal steel players and fiddlers. Pedal steel's difficult to learn.
Dave Gilmour plays a mean lap guitar.
Dang,if i did not have to get this truck moving i would sit right here and listen for anout two hrs. Really awesome
Wow, thanks! 😎🙏👍
Another of my favorites. You do it soooo well
😊😊🙏👍
Outstanding . As good a version as possible . Roy Clark and Glenn Campbell are still the kings of Ghost Riders but for a single instrument you are great .👍🏻
Much appreciated!
Michael Ange,
Michael Angelo ....... Did the late Gerry Reid also make a recording of Ghost Rider's in The Sky .
He was very underrated as a guitar player , but Gerry was an extremely talented .
Thanks!
Doug Beaumier love it lol lot of love Marilee
my absolute favorite song.....takes me back to my grandparents where they had a recording of it in their home. Vaughn Monroe's vocal of this was awesome.
Thanks for listening! I'm glad the song brings back memories for you.😊
This will show my age . . . I always place this in the same category as 'Apache' . . . a timeless tune that rocks today just like it did all those years ago. Those improvisations, riffs, runs and muted sections are fantastic and so much better than the usual change of key part-way through as an easy way to add interest. 10/10 (again). No, forget that. Have an 11.
(I play my less fluent version on one of those beauties in the background, except that mine is the thinline model.)
Thanks! I’m glad you like it. I have a pedal steel version too.
Enjoyed this very much. Cheers from Scotland.
Thanks for checking it out!
Very special, beautiful to listen to Doug and I really like your improvisations, thanks for sharing.
+Alan Randall Thanks Alan, I'm glad you like it!
Pure steel magic. You certainly put a spell on those strings. Amazing
Thanks Buck, glad you like it! 😎
I've heard this so many wonderful times, thank YOU
Thanks for listening! 😎
I've listened to this one for probably at least 30 times and will continue.
@@robertschmidt9296 Thanks Robert, Much appreciated! 😁
Here's what I use: E .014, C .017, A .020p, G .024w, E .030, C .036
I buy individual strings by gauge from my local music store.
Doug very nice and great sound would love to try that one. day Is that backing track available anywhere?
@@matthewzoony3847 Thanks, I recorded this 10 years ago and I no longer have the backing track. It was done on the band-in-a-box program and was played through a separate amp in the room.
Thanks Doug no worries understood
@@dougsteel hey im not trying to be negative but cant u just do all this on electric guitar? Trying to figure out what im missing about lap steel
@@nonperson9825 Yes, most of what I'm playing here can be played on electric guitar, but the lap steel allows for smooth slides (of the bar) with nice sustain. It's a slightly different sound than standard guitar.
Darn good job. One of the best covers I have ever heard of this classic tune. Mr. Ives would be proud.
Thanks! Much appreciated 😎
Proof, that just when you think you've seen and heard it all, there is always someone else that shows you're wrong. Outstanding.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Excellent song, excellent player...
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
I have heard many renditions of this song and have played it many times on my organ. Hear many sing and play. I thought your rendition was done very well.
Thanks Rodney!
Rodney Bardinq
My favorite.....and that says a lot.......
Doug, don't know if you've ever heard of this before. Back when I was about 11 (1957) I started taking steel lessons. Now I lived in a small community east of Lost Angeles. Finding the instrument was hard enough, finding a teacher was even harder. Finally found one. I was playing a 6 string Gibson like the one you are playing, and he had me tuning it the same as a regular guitar. I played for about 6
years. Don't know that I was all that good but it was great for kid
Thanks great. I wish I started earlier. I started on steel when I was in my early 20s.
@@dougsteel It was a lot more difficult to play than it seems watching you. I had to slant the steel to make certain cords, notes. I think my teacher was as green as I was and he was trying to teach me the way he would teach a new guitar player. There are times I wish I had kept it up. I'm 74 now. Love your music. thanks for sharing.
Good morning. Sweet song with beautiful perfomance , excellent fingering in c6 tuning. Stay cheerful.
Thanks! I’m glad you like it. 😎
That's some first class picking & GRIN in

Picking and a Grinnin
I'm glad you like it!
Makes me wonder if the song was intended to be played on a lap steel....love your version Brother.
Doug Beaumier yes very good your the best I seen in a long time please play some more.
Joe N The song was actually writtdn on tenor guitar.
C6 tuning, (high to low) E, C, A, G, E, C. .014, .017, .022, .026p, .030w, .036
Another version, by another music performer who is doing a wonderful job with this tune. Ghost Riders In the Sky, Love . He's terrific!!!
Thanks for listening! Glad you like it. 😊
How sweet it is that this popped up for my viewing pleasure! Thank you
Glad you like it!
Beautifully done,Thank You Sir
Thanks for listening!
My favorite version by anybody- even over Mr.Cash and the Outlaws.
Thanks! I appreciate it. 😁
Frankie Laine is my favorite.
Une de ces musiques qui me donne des frissons, elles sont si rares, merci pour votre talent
One of those music that gives me chills, they are so rare, thank you for your talent
Thanks! Much appreciated.
I do not know how you do it but wrll done. With this performance I see the desert, a donkey a cactus and a cowboy with a sambrero sleeping, well done.
I’m glad you like it! 😊 I also have a pedal steel guitar version of this song on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/5YdHqxTcBfI/v-deo.htmlsi=usvz0mh9tkd7plRA
Wow.......!!! Very impressive indeed.
