@@xOtherStone that doesn’t make it harder, that makes it different. That’s like saying that playing drum kit is harder than violin just because it has multiple different drums on it. Just because you have to do more doesn’t make it harder.
Yall were the sweetest, happiest and kindest faces at the MoStateFair...loved seeing your genuine joy out on the same ride my son and nephew were ridin😊💓Your mama sure raised ya right ✅️
So cool! Same pickup they ended up using for the basses. It’s funny, there’s actually a couple Rickenbacker pickups you can buy nowadays that can be used for either bass or guitar. Could be one of factors to that ric sound
Sounds awesome! My mom and dad played country music when I was growing up. They played Rickenbacker guitars and dad had a steel guitar, too. I have a picture of them in the early 60's with their new music equipment I would love to share with you.

They made the frying pan. First electric instrument but les paul did make the first electric guiatr by the standards of what we know as guitars. To be fair les paul was working to capture the sound of the strings only and then made the railroad track for obvious reasons in the 20s as a teen.
I used to have an old single-neck Rickenbacker based on the style of yours. It has the loudest pickup of any other.guitar. Congrats on your new steel guitar!
The first electric instrument was the theremin in the 1920’s. I was shocked by this. Love the videos, though! Keep it up, brother. You’ve gotta great thing going here!
@@AlexMillerCountryman, about thirty years ago I found one in Louisville... It was a Triple Eight. I was checking it out for the guy that played steel in my band (he was in Ohio at the time)... Anyhow, as I was looking it over, I noticed two shadows casting down from the window behind me... I turned my head around and saw none other than Merle Haggard and Red Volkart standing RIGHT THERE behind me! They both signed the grey felt backing underneath the guitar and of course I bought it for my steel player... He was a big fan of both of them fellas. I've always wondered what's happened to that guitar after all these years... It sure sounded great.

Not just any young man can play a steel. I'm impressed.
It’s not very hard
@@eerytunic3839to sound real good yeah it does
@@xOtherStoneit really isn’t, it’s not anymore difficult than learning the guitar normally.
@@eerytunic3839 right, other than the fact you have to use your knees, feet, and hands. Versus just two hands on a guitar. Exactly the same!
@@xOtherStone that doesn’t make it harder, that makes it different. That’s like saying that playing drum kit is harder than violin just because it has multiple different drums on it. Just because you have to do more doesn’t make it harder.

Keeping alive, and swinging, an American art form ….
pedal steel guitar!
OH MAN.....I NEED MORE OF THAT THAN IS IN A SHORT....
ITS ALMOST A LOST ART, BUT GUYS LIKE YOU WILL KEEP IT ALIVE.
The first electric instrument was the theremin in the 1920’s. I was shocked by this. Love the videos, though! Keep it up, brother. You’ve gotta great thing going here!
Yeah buddy!!!!

Still looking to get my first pedal steel.

Hiya Jeremy -
Have you looked into the HUDSON Pedal Steel guitar yet?
Beautifully built to your specs and affordable.
Cheers
Smooth pickin son!
Rick 'Frying Pan' steel was the first electric guitar. I once owned one before they were so valuable. Traded it for a Cry Baby.
Yes lil man is good a lost art...
Dude you’re very cool
Sounds like you're going to be the life of some parties coming up
We just moved and now I’m on a mission to find my Hank Sr. 8-tracks. YeeeeHaaawwwww!!!
How many knee and foot pedals does it happen to have.
I wonder how one of these would sound with distortion
It sounds like a limited Jimi Hendrix 😂
Can you also play a pedal steel? Emmons..or Shobud?
you should get one of those console steel guitars that have a pedal put on it.
Should is my choice of steel guitars, national resonator makes a good one. Shot Jackson played shobud
Rickenbacker, the brand of guitars used by the Ventures in the 1960's.
Was it still in tune after the shipping 🚢🤔😊, play on amigo, great channel 👍
Doug McIntyre plays too
Wonder if it smells like an old beer joint……you know,the ones you USED TO BE ABLE TO SMOKE in.
It definitely has that old cig smell to it
Where do you play?
I have a friend selling one of these. It's from 1950 or earlier. Let me know if interested.
Come on up to Buffalo NY
what key?
Maybe I will have to teach me how to play all the instruments u know
Great those you cannot buy overhere a pity
❤ sofa king cool "rot thar"
Is that a '56 model?
Yes it is I think

Yay Oklahoma City!
Can u make me a CD??? Let me know.
I need a steel real, real bad, but they’re so expensive and so is paying a guy to play on a track.
Alex
Boi you like a new Chet Atkins
Hopefully You made er famous, saw your audition on one of the talent shows, if You can make Luke Bryan fan girl You got something
It would make Me laugh til I burst if You played this out of tune!!! 😂😂😂
I don’t think I wanna know how much this thing cost.
I had a Ricky....double 8 . Way better tone than the Fenders all the other players at my music school had.
Looks like a Double 8.
Wouldn't you just like him to be your friend??
