Hi, Sleepwalk is one of the best known steel guitar classics. You have to play it as well as you have to play "Steel Guitar Rag". Please enjoy and comment. Mahalo nui loa Joerg
Awesome job;this was music the way it should be done;not that computer CRAP!!nothing to me is more beautiful music than steel guitar music.we need young people to learn to play it so it won't be a dying art form.Thank You for bringing back memories of real music and for keeping it alive.
Thank you all so much! In in last years I have not played the steel guitars very often but they are still with me. And still love them. Hope there will be time in the future to play more and finally come back to create some more videos. I really appreciate all of you taking the time to write your comments! Mahalo nur loa
Just beautiful music and extremely well plaid. Listening to you playing this song takes me back to a simpler time with much innocence and friendship, not like today's goings-on.
my cousin was a top level pedal steel guy from east Tennessee who I got to know as an adult. He was quite a guy with some good stories about Jimmy Dickens and Marty Robbins. Pedal steel is not for most guys... a real art
hey there greta version is that c6th? also what amp are u playing thru. one more just got my first lap steel and am wondering the best set of strings to get
My brother loved this song. He named his car Sleepwalk, back in the day when you'd paint the name of your car on the back fenders. This takes me way back to some sweet memories of my brother Eddie...rest in peace 💕
Hyunii - quite right. The only thing that never changes is the miserable old idiots who say the young folk are rubbish. My dad said it, my granddad said it, and people my age say it. There will be people in the generation who say it when they get old. In the meantime, the rest of us get to have fun.
@@migueberg43 - I thank you for your kind words. I have an extensive record collection, and enjoy playing them and listening to the music of my parents youth and of my youth. I have this song (the original by Santo and Johnny) in the stack, most of which are cataloged and arranged by the year that they came out.
I first heard this when I was nine or ten. It has been rolling around in my mind ever since. At seventy two, I still love it. I am so glad people are still enjoying it.
A set piece that can only be played completely from the heart, or not at all. Lovely sound wanted it to go on for much longer. Thank you so much for uploading.
Unbelievable!!! Beautifully done and performed with a very complicated instrument which made the sound perfect! Enjoyed so very much, he made my day, so to say.
@MrGert1960 Thanks for the comment, Mr Gert. Old Fender steel guitar are also very special to me. Meanwhile I was able to collect some of those great pieces of steel guitar history. Sleepwalk was originally played on a Fender Custom T8, so the choice was easy for me.
Thank you. We all seem to forget these timeless songs like this one here. Makes me want to do the things that I've always wanted to do without the stress of the modern days.
Me Sigue Encantando Este Video, Me Gusta Escuchar y Ver Como Transmite Su Pasión, Por Tocar Está Relajante Música, Año 2020 Más De 12 Años Escuchándola! 😍🎶🎵
This is the closest rendition of Santo & Johnny’s Sleepwalk” I’ve ever heard. I’m there, right now, on American Bandstand, when I saw them do it way back when. Bravo, Maestro, BRAVO!
Hey! My band mate recently acquired one of these from his late uncle! I tuned it up as best I could but have pretty limited knowledge. I want to bring this beauty back to life but I have no idea what strings to buy and what tuning it's in, but it looks identical to this but it's wood instead of the cream finish. Any help finding strings or telling me what the tunings would be etc would be amazing!
it seems a closed party. only for Experts. been looking on the forum and couldnt find any explanations on how to tune a steel guitar....well its a closed ciecle of players that doesent want to teach anything from my prospection.
Back when people made music and didn’t need to scream at you with vulgar lyrics and naked videos. Didn’t play them at 800 decibels either. You could actually TALK to the person or people you were with.
Thank you for sharing your fabulous talent. This raw talent of playing an actual instrument has gone by the wayside... All you hear today is computer geeks thinking they are musicians. The only KEY they can hit is the Enter Key lol...Truly remarkable my friend. God bless
i picture myself 10 years from now. beach house, with my dogs, rich and single, listening to this song. i’m looking at the horizon and able to say that i’ve made it. see yall in 10 years!
In case people are wondering, the English translation for this is "THAT WELL, THAT INSTRUMENT DOES NOT ONLY SPEAK BUT IT EXPRESSES ITS CONGRATULATIONS GREETINGS FROM PANAMA". *credit to google translate*
Beautiful! haven't heard that song in a long time. Beautifully played. I could watch this video over and over. I'm currently having a lap steel built for me because I've been really getting into country music lately and recording some country songs, so I'm really looking forward to learning how to play this beautiful instrument.

Santo and Johnny "Teardrop" another classic steel guitar gem.

Just beautiful!
Absolutely stunning piece of music
This made me happy
muito bom! A melhor versão q encontrei.
Those were the days!
Beautiful
Great sound and playing. Is that a non-pedal guitar? You have E9 and C6 tunings, but how’s the third neck tuned?
hey there greta version is that c6th? also what amp are u playing thru. one more just got my first lap steel and am wondering the best set of strings to get
Still the only song I think of when you say steel guitar.
C6 TUNING????
+BANJOHARRY 1 Not C6, it's E6 tuning.
This is done without use of pedals. No pedals available on a Fender Custom. This kind of guitar was used by Santo and Johnny. Thanks.
Elephant walk
Old Sir you rock 🤟
What is the difference between the 3 “necks” ?
@@createlovehappy different tunings
Whats this instrument called
My brother loved this song. He named his car Sleepwalk, back in the day when you'd paint the name of your car on the back fenders.

I have three neck like this one made. By magnatone
Was new back in 1960.
Have you noticed the absence of music like this over the last several decades? What a shame, and what a beautiful piece of music!
theres alot of music beautiful like this still you’re just looking straight into the mainstream and not into the specific places
@@not-so-good-gamer9555 check out derek trucks if you havent yet
@@carlchiveral3294 Yeah the boomers really suffered as they destroyed their parents country.

Ah, brings back memories of slow dances at house parties in the late 50's/early 60's.
I see you everywhere on these types of videos
I envy you, I’m a kid from the 2000’s, and I really envy you sir

@@jackdaxter5886 And nicer more humble gentleman you couldn't encounter.
Nice, but I thought he was just a tad flat on the high note.
True talent is when the musician plays from the heart. Well done.

The big smile at the end says it all... Most satisfying... Bravo! Bravo!!

Are u still alive?
I love this song! God Bless you hon! Thanks so much. Don't stop playing!
the old santo & johnny hit , you did it proud beautifully played
I always associate this song as the last one played at the Labor Day, end of summer dance. This is back in the 1960s and early 70s.
1959, I believe.
This has to be my favorite Steel guitar song of all time! I love this tune.
Very nice!! Thanks for sharing
One word: HAUNTING!
Ritchiiiiiiiieeeee!

Звук завораживающий ,чудо а не инструмент ,плюс вертуоз- исполнитель !👍👍👍
Yes I really miss the instrumentals of the 60s

One of the few that gets the tempo right.
Nicely done.

Beautifully played, his innermost musical feelings is felt by his excellent playing.

No entiendo solo son 3 minutos o menos, pero es como la historia de paganini, cuando se te mete a la cabeza la quieres seguir escuchando.
Que chingonada de tema pero más de la interpretación pelao bueno para las cuerdas, saludos desde Altamira México 👍

not sure why but i want to just hug him like a grandfather
I grew up listening to this. My dads favorite music! He is 85 years old!
Essa canção é triste , realmente ficou marcada para com o funeral de Ritchie Valens

OK, Boomer

Did Jerry Byrd do a version of this? P.S. I'm trying to find Wynn Stewart's "The Maidens Prayer" have a merry Christmas!
Beautifully done man! You touch so many people in so many ways with your music

Half the battle is knowing what you truly want in life. You can do it bud!
The Steel Guitar went mostly to C&W music, and was abandoned by other genres.
Notice how much music has changed, we used to have that but now it’s just rap and pop. We should start bringing back old music
Este es de todos el que mas me ha gustado.
Me pregunto por que dejaste yputube amigo, te voy a extrañar, te deseo lo mejor 🌹
Bonnes vibrations ! cela fait du bien.
Merci beaucoup l ami :-)
hauntingly beautiful, like from dark forest or somethimg. no other song like it
QUE BIEN ESE INSTRUMENTO NO SOLO HABLA SINO QUE SE EXPRESA FELICIDADES SALUDOS DESDE PANAMA

I would love to have as much talent as you sir i really do .
That is the first song I can remember growing up! I was 7 or 8 years old. It had an impact on me! I play it on piano. I love it! A TRUE CLASSIC!
I'm old now, but I still remember.
A great rendition !!! love it !!!
Still sends a soothing chill down my spine & gets to my heart & head at the same time.
