Hi Dan,this is the first UA-cam video of yours that i came across and you grabbed my attention right away,what a talent,the joy of playing music can be seen from miles and that cascades on us as viewers. Thank you for sharing. Keep those videos coming. God Bless. Burle
That sound reminds me of my childhood in the back of the truck with the back window open so I could hear the country music my mom blasted as she drove us down the old gravel roads near pops’ farm
The beautiful memories brought back by the precious gift of music;) Thank you for sharing and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
I really like those Roy Nichols ear twister licks around the 3:30 point...very well done. It doesn't work around here. Everytime I try them I lose the band...that's sad...well done little brother
Brother Lewis...a "by-product" of singin' these ol' classics...facial expressions;) Thank you for watching...my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Thank you for these very kind words and for watching;) Those bends sure take me back in my "musical mind" back to a time when Country Music was defined by those legendary "combinations" of names you mentioned and many others such as Merle Haggard & Roy Nichols, Ernest Tubb & Leon Rhodes, Hank Sr. & Don Helms...the "sounds" that still define Country Music to my ears;) Thank you again...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Baci302...thank you for these very kind words...and for watching and listening and subscribing;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Brother Ralph...thank you for these very kind words. It takes a "Team" and I am sincerely grateful for the time taken by you and others to "spend" with me...sharing the precious "Gift of Music";) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
@@musicmandan1717 thank you! I purchased a double bender gene parsons tele. It should arrive by the end of the week. Have you any experience with this type of bender?
Brother Ralph...I am not at all familiar with the Double Parsons bender...but I sure am looking forward to hearing from you when it arrives and your thoughts about it...there is no doubt is will be a "Mount Everest" quality build and design. Please let me know your thoughts...I am excited for you! My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Dear Poco50guitar...thank you for these very kind words along with watching and listening to the video;) I do love the gift of music...and trying to navigate thru its many opportunities of learning, performing and the final result...and then do it all over again;) I appreciate your time and words...my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Another excellent song as well as another magnificent interpretation, I liked it a lot, congratulations and thanks for sharing your music and talent. Greetings from Madrid and see you soon, like 1
Brother Wayman...thank you for these very kind words and for watching and listening;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Marie just walked in...she thought it was me showing off on my Double Bender...lol...I guess our style must be close because my sister thought the same thing...I think it's more the bends, because in my opinion you smoke me.
Thank you for listening to this...and along with your kind words...and I remember your Sister complimenting us both...and now Ms. Marie;) We must be some good pickers;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
You sold me on the BEEGEE bender, always been a Marty Stuart fan, and Clarence White before him (saw him with the Birds and Maria Muldaur). Never tried a bender, but it looks like fun, and not too hard for me to do (maybe?). That double-bender is awesome too, but I'll leave that to you pros! Ever tried palm pedal benders...........?
Brother David...the "Beegee Bender" is without a doubt the absolute "best deal" I have ever come across regarding the quality of the bender along with the instrument you receive as every other builder I know charges quite a lot more for just the install of the mechanism they designed (and they are all very good) within the guitar you provide. And, yes...you will be able to enjoy it...they are not "difficult"...just got to "feel the bend" much like a steel guitar player;) Regarding the Palm Bender...I installed a Certano Double Palm Bender last year and it is wonderful! I made a video on it and will upload it for you to check out later today. My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Brother David...I am still looking for the "Certano" video I made featuring the "Installation and Performance". It is a very extensive video...and at the moment...I can't find it in my "Archived" videos...but I am going to keep looking. I will let you know when I find it and post it. Thank you again. Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Thank you for the very kind words and for watching...and for the question. Yes...Mr. Joe Glaser and the fine folks at Glaser Instruments in Nashville, Tennessee continue to "be in the business" of instrument repair, setup & Glaser Bender installations. As a matter of fact, I recently recieved by 2nd "Double Bender"...a beautiful 68' Reissue telecaster purchased off of Reverb that had a "single" Glaser Bender installed. I reached out to Aaron at Glaser Instruments, had the guitar dropped off, and a few weeks later...it arrived a "Double" per my request...and plays like only a Glaser Double Bender does...incredible. There's a video of it here on the channel put up about a month ago...you might be able to find it if you are interested in hearing the 2nd "Glaser Double";) Thank you again and here's Joe's contact information: Glaser Instruments (Joe Glaser) 434 E. Iris Drive Nashville, TN 37204 615-298-1139 glaserinstruments@gmail.com My prayers to you, your family and friends...and thank you again. Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Thank you for the kind words RebelCat420;) The "B" string is on the strap and the "G" string is on the belt which is activated by pushing the guitar away from your body. I am excited for you regarding your guitar...please keep me in the loop on your progress;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Thank you for watching, listening and the kind words;) I have 4 BeeGee Benders (3 B benders & 1 G Bender) and 2 Glaser Benders ...one B bender and one "Double" that bends both the B & G strings independently. You may want to watch a few of the "Show & Tell" videos I did on the BeeGee Benders here recently...providing a little "deep dive" into those guitars. And there are several videos of songs performed on the Glaser Benders also;) Thank you for the question and my prayers to you, your family and friend...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Brother Robert...yes it is...I bought it off of Reverb from a gentleman who does a "project guitar" every year or so...and this particular guitar...gold foiled & very beautiful;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
@hollogyny...Congratulations on your "Double" that you've order...I am truly excited for you and the journey you are about to experience and enjoy...awesome! The "G" bender mechanism on my Glaser Double in this video is attached to my waist via a belt and clip system. When a "G" bend is desired, you simply "Push" the guitar away from you. The "trick" will be "customizing" the length of the belt and clip in order to get the "feel" you are looking for...and this will take a little time as each of us "feel" music different. I experimented thru many hours and bending attempts until I finally "got comfortable" with the belt system...and now...it feels "normal". Take your time...and enjoy the journey...and along with way...if you have any questions I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask. I will make a video for you and put it up on my channel regarding the "hook up system" of my "Double Bender"...as next week I will find the time to do so if not sooner. Once again...congratulations! My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Brother Darrell...I sure will as you and several others have expressed interest in a "deeper dive" on this particular video. Over the next several weeks or so, I am needing to do some "setup work" on the Glaser "Double Bender"...and after this is "fine tuned", I will make a video on "what" I did within this "Musical Moment". Thank you again for listening and watching...My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
So awesome, I have a G/B bender (Novice) Any chance you have the tabs for this piece? Mucho time spent watching your fingers and pull levers trying to get it.
@MrBeery...thank you for watching and listening and for the very kind words;) I have never used or "done" tab...not part of my "musical learning tools"...although I understand it is very helpful. Let me know if there any other "method" I can help you...maybe a "slower...step-by-step" version that "explains" each move. Let me know your thoughts...and I appreciate your time. My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Thanks for your reply, I have been slowing the video down and it does help. I will dig-in and watch your video until I get it. Awesome job, love your videos.@@musicmandan1717
@mrbeery...I hope this finds you doing well...and I am checking on your progress hoping you are enjoying the "journey";) Let me know if I can help in any manner;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...and thank you for watching. Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Well I am making some progress on this song however the G bender on my hipshot is a palm lever (difficult). So I shipped my Tele off to Glaser for a double bender install. Looking forward to learning from your videos on my new bender!! God Bless Dan @@musicmandan1717
Thank great news! Congratulations and I am looking forward to you getting your hands on your new "Double Glaser". Upon it's arrival, if you have any questions with adjustments, please don't hesitate to ask. Also...Adam at Glaser's is a wealth of knowledge and is quick to help any issues or questions you may have. My prayers to you, your family and friends...Congratulations again...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
Brother Randy...these are Seymour Duncan "Quarter Pounders" and yes, I am on facebook under Dan Furmanik...and/or Dan "The Coconut Cowboy" and/or The Coconut Cowboy and/or Coconut Cowboys;)
Thank you for listening Brother Charlie;) A "bender" is a mechanism installed within or on the body of the guitar that allows the performer to "manipulate" the mechanism which in turn "bends" the string or strings. This guitar is a "Double Bender"...having a mechanism to bend the "B" string and another for the "G" string therefore allowing me "independent" bending options along with "combined" options. Here's a link to a video I did on the "Beegee Bender" which will "show" you the mechanism that "Beegee" makes...in this case a "B or G" bender. My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan ua-cam.com/video/GlokjvOjvc0/v-deo.html
