N.b Steels? slide? Bottleneck ?
A "steel" guitar is an electric guitar - as in lap steel and "pedal"-steel (electric things) and not included in the above.
A "steel" is the "tone-bar" a round "bullet style - more usual for "Steel" guitar.
A "slide" is a more complex accessory with a profile more like a figure "8" and used more on Dobro and other square necks.
A "bottle-neck" is a round piece fitting over a finger - Can be made out of Glass, brass , steel, or even tungsten carbide!..,. Or the neck of a bottle!
Hope that helps - let me know what I've missed out.
Fantastic sharing on knowledge 😊👍thank you
These videos are great. I really enjoy watching them. Thanks very much. Regards, Phil.
Thank you for watching !
Very interesting. Thank you. T
Great video. Forgive me, but it's Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. You have a beautiful collection of guitars. Thanks for the demonstration.
Earl Flatt and Lester Scruggs ???? I actually said that didn't I - (crazy old guy!) Thank you fr the correction.
Joseph Kekuku invented the Slide Guitar when he was 11 years old which led to the invention of new kinds of Guitars which also led to the very 1st Electric Guitar. Blues players have decided to play Slide Guitar like Joseph Kekuku did but they used a Bottle Neck.
Hi, yes I've read that story too. Certainly he was involved in the development of Hawaiian guitar music, not so convinced that there was no slide played esp in the black communities of the USA beforehand though. Thanks for writing.
@@SillyMoustache In fact the very 1st Electric Guitar was indeed a Slide Guitar
@@RockStarOscarStern634 I see that, like me, you are interested in the devlopment of the guitar in the US and Europe in the 19th and 20th century.
@@SillyMoustache sounds like both of us are which we are on an agreement
Very nice pocket history and getting to see your collection of guitars was enjoyable. Electricity delivered National and the like a debilitating blow... but you can't keep a good thing down and these fantastic resonator guitars have been brought back to life by NRP and others. thanks
Thanks , and yes, I agree. So many developments in guitars did not find the original audience for which they were intended but another than the designers hadn't thought of ....the "OM" for instance.
India has their own versions of Slide Guitars with Sympathetic and Drone Strings.
Hi, yes I have heard of DEBASHISH BHATTACHARYA but don't know a great deal about the music - far too clever for me!
@@SillyMoustache But either way it's still a slide Guitar
Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915 in San Francisco
That's really helpful , thanks.

Thank you for this - I wish I'd seen it before I made the video, but I think I've got most of the dates and chronology correct. Please feel free to correct any errors I may have made.
If you want to hear a great dobro, check out Abby Gardner of Red Molly. She may not be Jerry Douglas but she has him looking over his shoulder. She can bring the crowd to their feet at Red Molly performances.
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip. Many fine musicians out there, especially the younger folk. I'll check them out.
Interesting history of the evolvement of the types of dobros, dreadnaughts and the merging of the two. I was wondering if you have you ever seen a chapman stick or played one? Here is a couple of links to explain how it works and how it's played. I hope you enjoy viewing these links. ua-cam.com/video/PvuiAobq2_Y/v-deo.html and this one ua-cam.com/video/dYKB6Lag-wg/v-deo.html
I am aware of the chapman stick, but whilst I suppose they are another aspect of the development of the guitar, (rather than evolution) but I keep away from electric guitars as that isn't really my "thing". (Too long sitting behind a drumkit with ever louder amps either side of me).
I don't like electric guitar either, but I found the Chapman stick fascinating but all the tones it makes.
