I know... everybody and there brother and sister too have done this song... and yet until recently I haven’t... so here’s the way did it... hope you’ll enjoy
Your absolutely write I played pedal steel 50 years and with some awesome bands and musicians, this instrument sets the mood it can make you cry, happy, sad
Thank you Larry ... yes that was a great guitar, coined "The Holy Grail" by many ... Mighta shoulda kept it, but I'm sure you know how it is when you have to free up money for another toy ;-) ... After Amazing Grace, this one gets the most views still even after 9 years. Still this song vexes me, I don't know if you heard it or not, but right after about 2:55 the sound/tone changes to a bit of doubling or chorusing and I don't know why. I tried for the longest time to find where that "Extra" guitar was coming from but never able to. I believe at that time I was recording 2 tracks of steel at the same time from 2 different amps, and must've nudged one of them a few milliseconds out of sync with the other, but was never able to fix it.
Mullin steels are the "Cadillac" of steel guitars; they are made with expertise and great care; been to their factory out in Colorado; bought a G2 D-10 and enjoyed playing it for years.
Mullen makes a great guitar... I'm especially fond of the PRP's... had a couple of them, an 88 and this 90 with Quad Original 705's... originally owned by Jim Lindsey who toured with Ty Herndon for about 10 years... Mickey Adams played it almost exclusively for 4-5 years when I got it from him.
Ahhhh Dale...another fine tune! You play so well and with so much feeling. You bring out the best in the pedal steel. Your old Mullen sounds great and your audio is super clean and the video is nicely recorded and edited. Great work my friend!
+Bent Romnes Thanks so much Bent... with the tracks that are available today it makes this a lot of fun... and hopefully will make me play better.... can’t take quite the same liberties with a track that you can all by yourself.
David I wish! I can't play that good in my dreams. How did I miss this one for 3 years? That's Touch My Heart as good as it can be played! Awesome playing as always Dale!
steelinatune You keep getting better and better Dale! Always a pleasure to hear what you have next and always a pleasure to listen to the older ones over and over again.
Thanks so much Robert, glad you like it... I'm a BIG Buddy fan, and although I'll never begin to approach Buddy's playing or the way he thought, its always fun to delve into a Buddyism or two from time to time.
Thank you Bruce ... this was a great guitar I probably should've kept, but I had my eyes on my first MSA, the one I did Softly And Tenderly on ... Oh yeah, should've kept that one too 😉
Stumbled upon this again today. This tone is as good as anything I've heard. I've always been a fan of the Pre-RP Mullen tone since seeing Tommy White's Music City Network clips. Was this recorded direct or mic'ed up? Great playing.
Don't know of any in that particular area... but maybe look up Travis Toy travistoytutorials.com Travis is Rascal Flats Steel guy, and played with Patty Loveless ... and is just a really good guy... would be the best 30 bucks/month you'd ever spend.
Thanks Chuck. By the way thank you so much for that CD it sounds great I put a link to the sampler on Facebook mentioning it and I hope you get some hits
Dale please tell me about your signal--the pups etc. I’ve had 4 Mullen guitars and couldn’t get that tone and string separation. They were att Pre/RP guitars so maybe I should try a G2?? I know it’s in the hands too, I can get what I want on another guitar but I want the comfort/ergonomics/butter-like feel that comes from a Mullen. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks for the question... This seems like almost forever ago... I looked at the video but was unable to tell whether or not I was using a Li'l Izzy with this, but I suspect that I was. At least I was using one off and on around that time. The Li'l Izzy's seemed to be all about string separation. This guitar had Original 705's in it... AND to be honest, a LOT of folks thought this guitar was the Holy Grail of sound.
That Mullins sounds almost exactly like my emmons lashley legrande l I, minus some reverb. don't know I used to have two of those Mullen guitars and never could get the sound out of either one. The newer one broke the top G# and the top B strings about every third time I played and the pre R P about every 8 to 12 months a leg insert would break off the endplate. Sooooo, back to emmons i went. I'll probably buy me a new 65 pre sound push pull. I know Tommy white loves his Mullens, but, I will say this, in my personal humble opinion, I thought Tommy sounded better on the push pull. ?????????? 🤠😃
Thank you John, I don't disagree with you. Many VERY good ears had deemed this guitar the Holy Grail, a few of them being push pull guys. I was actually looking for a G2 when I heard this one was going to be available. I was ready to order a new G2, but never heard 2 that sounded the same... some sounded great and some sounded wonky. Every video I'd seen this guitar on wounded great. This was originally built for Jim Lindsey, who played for Ty Herndon for 11 years, and at the time Del told him this was the best sounding guitar he'd ever built. I sold this guitar in 2017?, I maybe shouldn't have.
John, I’m kind of going by memory on this as I haven’t had this guitar for about 3 years, and my set up has changed since... but here we go Emmon’s ABC E’s raised and lowered on the Left Knee 7 lowered a whole on staggered LKL Vertical lowered 5 & 10 a half RKL, raised 1 a whole 2 a half, lowered 6 a whole and lowered 9 a whole RKR, lowered 2 a half and a whole, raised 7 a half and a whole and lowered 9 a half... Hope that helps
I can only imagine what Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart would have to say about any of the music we love today. Music seems to change over time, yet we still enjoy the music written those Masters, and I suspect the music we love will continue to live and perhaps have a resurgence as well.
Thanks Jack.... Yeah this was a great guitar. When Del made this one for Jim Lindsey (Ty Herndon Steel) he told Jim it was the best sounding guitar he'd ever made. Many called it the Holly Grail for that reason. I probably should've kept it, but wanted to go in another direction with setup.
I have always said that fiddle and guitar may give country music it's identity, but the steel guitar gives it soul !!!
Thanks Jay... I have to agree with you.
Your absolutely write I played pedal steel 50 years and with some awesome bands and musicians, this instrument sets the mood it can make you cry, happy, sad
exactly right on like to listen pickers whoput their soul and heart in their playing soooooooooooooooo sweet
Thank you Edward… I agree, steel is without question an emotional heart and soul instrument
Interesting thought, although perhaps a bit insulting to fiddlers and really sensitive guitarists.
You know it's good when it makes you want to cry.
Might be the nicest thing I've heard today Ken ... Thank you ... BTW, my playing often makes me cry ;-)
Amen
Having a repeat listing of this classic and your beautiful tone. I had forgotten about you having a Mullen back then. Sounds awesome.

David I wish! I can't play that good in my dreams. How did I miss this one for 3 years? That's Touch My Heart as good as it can be played! Awesome playing as always Dale!
Thanks David... I want to do so many of these songs over again... both to try and improve on some of the playing and the tone.
steelinatune You keep getting better and better Dale! Always a pleasure to hear what you have next and always a pleasure to listen to the older ones over and over again.

+Jim E I didn’t even know it was there till I saw the video... that’s my pedal tuner!!
Brilliant!
Stumbled upon this again today. This tone is as good as anything I've heard. I've always been a fan of the Pre-RP Mullen tone since seeing Tommy White's Music City Network clips. Was this recorded direct or mic'ed up? Great playing.

Oh my goodness. Any one know of a steel instructor in western NC or upper SC? I’ve got to get a pedal steel now!!
Don't know of any in that particular area... but maybe look up Travis Toy travistoytutorials.com Travis is Rascal Flats Steel guy, and played with Patty Loveless ... and is just a really good guy... would be the best 30 bucks/month you'd ever spend.
Oooops! SORRY. .
I got corn fuzed.
Still, it was all the things I said it was. Very well executed!
Thanks Chuck. By the way thank you so much for that CD it sounds great I put a link to the sampler on Facebook mentioning it and I hope you get some hits

Dale who is playing this fine tune and making that mullen his, great job to u dir
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
Awesome and lovely.
Please take no offense, as there is none meant; I think this would fit extremely well in an Alan Jackson record.
Thank you Jake and no offense taken... Love Alan, and think I hear what you're saying too... it would fit in an Alan Jackson Record
Care to share your set-up?
John, I’m kind of going by memory on this as I haven’t had this guitar for about 3 years, and my set up has changed since... but here we go
Emmon’s ABC
E’s raised and lowered on the Left Knee
7 lowered a whole on staggered LKL
Vertical lowered 5 & 10 a half
RKL, raised 1 a whole 2 a half, lowered 6 a whole and lowered 9 a whole
RKR, lowered 2 a half and a whole, raised 7 a half and a whole and lowered 9 a half...
Hope that helps
Where are you located in Washington dale ...///
Eastern
You must've stolen tone from every guitar you have ever played, and poured it all over this one... mercy.
She was a good one Jason, Thank you…
u are righton its getting tobe alost art they play so much crap and call it country far from it
I can only imagine what Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart would have to say about any of the music we love today. Music seems to change over time, yet we still enjoy the music written those Masters, and I suspect the music we love will continue to live and perhaps have a resurgence as well.
Mullen…aah yea buddy…nice full tone…don’t make sound like this anymore…
Thanks Jack.... Yeah this was a great guitar. When Del made this one for Jim Lindsey (Ty Herndon Steel) he told Jim it was the best sounding guitar he'd ever made. Many called it the Holly Grail for that reason. I probably should've kept it, but wanted to go in another direction with setup.
