The instrument you gents are trying to figure out is a Pedal Steel Guitar, which is played in the seated position, and is endemic in country music, and gets you that twangy sound. You use both hands and both legs to manipulate the instrument. Linda uses whatever is needed to make a song work. And she is a true babe. When a player uses a glass or metal tube instead of their fingers, the technique is called Slide Guitar. I am NOT a musician, but I love music.
I loved when they said the pedal steel isn't used with today's technology. Well son, that's the problem. No one hardly sings, and they damn sure can't play a fuc..ing instrument.
The duet that won a Grammy was “I Don’t Know Much” with Aaron Neville. They won a Grammy in 1990 for that and then the next year and Grammy for “ All My Life “. She also fid another winner with James Ingram. She is a national treasure like Whitney Houston or Dolly Parton. She sings Latin Music, and even operetta with soprano voice
LOL, they never even realized that they stepped all over one of the greatest song endings ever to have a three minute conversation about whether or not they've ever heard of a pedal steel guitar!
The pedal steel guitar is the instrument in the video. People in Hawaii first re-tuned steel stringed guitars to sound a chord when all six strings were strummed and used a piece of steel or other smooth, hard object in their fretting hand to get the type of sound found here, which people started referring to as steel guitar, and it was developed into this instrument and alternatively used as a common technique with resonator guitars, which are very often referred to by the most popular brand name, Dobro.
She started out singing folk then went to country and then helped invent country rock and she sang rock too then old standards, Spanish music.. light opera.. She was the Queen of Rock was all over the map. In the '70's she was the best paid and sold more albums than any other woman.
It's also called a slide guitar, or a bottleneck guitar, a technique and style of guitar playing, whereby a hard object, typically a steel tube, a steel bar, or a glass bottleneck, is pressed across multiple strings and slid along the fingerboard to produce a smooth, whining sound.
When this song came on the radio… (Which was the only way we were able to hear it since we had no recording devices)… All activity stopped… If I was in a safe place to pull over into a parking lot, I would… …turn off the hairdryer, turn off the vacuum cleaner etc…And just listen
Linda Ronstadt is a legend. Rock, country, country rock, country folk, pop, Latin, and opera, no genre was out of her reach. She remains one of the most revered and honored singers in the history of music. She can no longer sing due to Parkinson Disease. She has a strong social conscience, and is an honest down to earth human. I saw her in concert a long time ago. She was absolute perfection in a live setting.
Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock & even opera. She has had so many hits such as "Different Drum", "Long Long Time", "You're No Good", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs.
The lovely Linda no one can touch her, she was one of the top female artists of the 70's and 80's, she did this live, no auto tune artists don't perform like this anymore. She was a pure musical genius who explored multiple musical genres and was a smashing success in all of them!
Linda's one of the great vocal cover artists of the 60s-80s. Much beloved. Check out her "You're No Good", "Desperado," and "Willin'." She also does dynamite Latin music. That's a pedal steel guitar you were wondering about, also called a pedal slide guitar. It's a classic in country music and Hawaiian music.
The song was written by Roy Orbison, and he does a great job with it as always. But Linda Ronstadt OWNS THIS SONG. It is her signature song, and her voice takes it over. A Bayou is a swampy area, mostly found in Louisiana, and it is pronounced By-You, as in blew by you.
thanks, guys! This is my favorite by Linda... LIVE.. no "autotune" - kind of country/folk/blues on this one ("steel guitar")... I love how she is so casual, and not trying to be "sexy".. also, just when you think she can't sing any higher, she does... lol
She did just about every genre from country/rock to operetta. Her album "Lush Life" is entirely Jazz/Swing era nightclub songs such as "Sophisticated Lady", "Skylark", etc.
Linda is an American treasure. There are too many accolades to list here so I will just say she has a forty year catalogue spanning multiple genres and she has won every music award imaginable. You can Google the rest. The name you were searching for is Aaron Neville. They did several duets and won a Grammy for “I Don’t Know Much”. That was a pedal steel guitar you were asking about. You can never go wrong with Linda. Good luck with your channel 🌺✌️
One of the greatest female vocalists ever! Any genre she tackles she owns! The Eagles were here back up band, before they struck out on their own! 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ She was every young man’s crush from the 70’s! Much more to her then just this sing! Dude some research on her! It’s called the West Coast Sound, or Americana! The old dude is far from an expert...it’s a steel guitar! 🤨
Linda was diagnosed in 2013 with Parkinson's Disease. She can no longer sing. Such a loss of a great talent. That instrument is a steel guitar. It is used in country music.
You guys interrupted The Very Best Of, her vocals to start talking about the steel guitar. What’s up with that? The star of the performance is the vocal.
STOP WITH THE "COUNTRY" STUFF. . .Guys, stop trying to "label" everything. . .IT'S JUST MUSIC. . .GOOD MUSIC. . .Why do you spend time trying to put it in a category? WHY? It's just music and it DOES NOT MATTER what "label" anyone puts on it. It doesn't matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And she's about to hit those high registers!!
Drives me nuts when they pause just when she’s about belt it out!

Pedal steel guitar, still very popular.
Linda was the best.

The pride of Tucson, Arizona! ¡Viva, Linda!

She was wrongly diagnosed to have Parkinson's disease, it is now known that she has a rarer condition called progressive supranuclear palsy

Duet: Aaron Neville (Don't Know Much).
"Different Drum, Tumblin' Dice, You're No Good", she's legendary!
Linda covered many songs. This is covered from Roy Orbison. Linda had a way to make a song her own.
It's a pedal steel guitar. Used in pop, rock and of course - country.

The Sensational Linda Ronstadt
FYI a bayou is a slow moving creek in a swampy area. She is singing about the gulf coast in the United States (probably Louisiana).
The pedal steel guitar is a lost art form.
One of the greatest female vocalists ever! Any genre she tackles she owns! The Eagles were here back up band, before they struck out on their own! 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ She was every young man’s crush from the 70’s! Much more to her then just this sing!

She practiced for 6 hours a day for 6 years to perfect her vocal range.
Slide Guitars are used in all country music.
Oh, no, some rock. " Poor, Poor Pitiful Me," to start. Lots of rockers in there!
My friend with the wine cup is absolutely right “folk music”
The Lady is an icon in all genres,she has sold over 100 million records.I can't understand the reaction you have.
Check out Linda singing Desperado live with the Eagles.
Linda was diagnosed in 2013 with Parkinson's Disease. She can no longer sing. Such a loss of a great talent. That instrument is a steel guitar. It is used in country music.
Steel guitar is the country touch. You'll hear it many times in country, and it's slipped into popular music.
Too much pausing hurts build ups in song.
It’s called a Steel Pedal Guitar
It's country!
The thing you are trying to name is called a slide. The instrument is called a lap steel guitar.
