Hi, David!! My very good friend. Davey, it doesn't matter what bat they put into your hands, you always hit it out of the park. Your pickin' just touches me way down, deep in my soul. You are an inspiration to so many people. If it is true our that our true worth in this world is measured by the number of friends we have, then you, my friend, are a very wealthy man, indeed. The world is a better place for having you on it. still your Number One Fan, Davey, Sacramento Chuck
I’ve watched many of steel guitar players!!! And even played a little myself!! But I’d have to say, David is the best I’ve ever seen !! Thanks David!!!👍🤠
Unbelievably wonderful... I have grown up on country music, and continue to enjoy sound pedal steel playing for over 60 years, and you are as great as it gets. Excellent!
David. "Still" amazed to listen to the performance.It will be 6 years, on the 25th Oct 2018, I got Frank. Mark did a real nice job servicing it. Levers are real positive and action, is perfect. Just need to learn to play it properly. J.R.
This was Tremendously, and Transcendently Beautiful. I love when I can feel the music in my soul, and this does it for me every time I listen to it again and again. If you will. Please play (He stopped loving her today) by George Jones, but please use your own style, instead of the generic version that everybody else plays. Thank you for making my day. God Bless you Dave.
Dave you are absolutely amazing on the steel guitar. I've played guitar for over 50 years now and you have one of the most deep reaching heartfelt styles in country music. Best wishes to you and your family.
Dave is one of the best pedal steel musicians playing today. It really is a treat to listen to his playing and arrangements. Keep it up Dave. Absolutely love it.
Just stumbled upon your PSG music here and oh man you are a wonderful player. I'm from the U.S. and a fan of real country music and I hope you can find more older real country from 70s and 80s that was popular here in the U.S. to play and upload here for us. Your friend that gave you the Franklin is a great fellow as well, what a friend he's got to be. Anyway, please keep finding new songs and uploading them here for us, what a joy they are to listen to. Your new fan from Mississippi, Andre'
Just enjoying another fix of this sweet music. David, the time and effort you spend on this channel is truly awesome and is, I'm sure, appreciated by all of us that enjoy your work.......or pleasure as the case may be! Thanks a lot, man.
Thanks for the run through of what you are using while you play!!! Another great job...as usual!! You can make any steel sing no doubt about it. Kudos David!!
Beautiful. Its good to see another video from you. I havent seen one for awhile. I wish my dad was still aroud. He would have loved videos liked this. He passed away in 2005. He would love youtube for sure.
David that is absolutely beautiful sir and is always such a pleasure to listen to you picken' these beautiful Steel Guitars... ...just can understand how anyone would hit a dislike oh maybe I do ..jealous would be my only reasoning ....haven't heard any uploads from you in ages ..again ....very, very nice David.
Happy Belated Birthday from Canada, Dave! I am glad Mark sent this to me. Best medicine I could have, a steel guitar and a great friend to share it! This is beautiful! Bet the person who hit dislike is jealous you are playing a Franklin. Shared on my FaceBook too. :) Listened twice.
Man, I've been playing country music for 40 years and I've NEVER heard anybody that plays more tastefully than you!! Your tone, phrasing, everything is just amazing!! What a wonderful friend to give you such a great present, too!! You're blessed!! Just curious, though...what do you think the differences were between the two pickups? I could hear a difference in the tone, but not much else...is one pickup a little hotter than the other?
Mike Lowe..... Billy Cooper from Orange, VA. is probably the Only other PS player that is equal to David in terms of his clarity of notes, tonality, timing, heart felt presence in the music that you "feel" in your very soul... just a Great player, as is David. Billy was also Bobby Helms' lead guitar player when they recorded "Jingle Bell Rock" in 1957.. and many other songs.
Very nice job indeed sir! Im a newbie on the steel but grew up around them. If you ever play "ten thousand years" i would love to hear it again. Definately one of the prettiest psg tunes ever. Good day friend, blessings!
Playing that instrument with all that gear is like flying a plane. It takes a master to operate it and make it all come together and produce beautiful notes
Hey ole buddy glad to see your back That franklin sounds great it takes a great playes to make it sound like that Boy i missed you don't take such long holidays. keep them comming by the way happy birthday 39 isn't old.Iam going to listen to you play and have a coca cola here with some 151 rum in it. good luck tell mr russel have fun with the franklin he's a great steel player too.your buddy mike verdetto usa
You have a very great talent David. I love listening to all your music. Haven' t heard one yet that I haven't liked. You could rock the Grand Olde Opry.
Happy birthday dave!!!!!!!!!! always enjoy your talent. John should give you that franklin so you can bring the best out of it. thanks for posting another recording ,,love it as always
Dave So glad to see you again.....I hope everything is OK ...Really missed you and your sidekick John on youtube.....Your sounding great as always.....Please keep posting more great steel playing.............
I can't understand the few comments claiming his Rains has a more full sound.... the Franklin is hands-down more smooth and full- especially on the top end. There is more reverb and/or delay effect on some of the Rains videos.... maybe that's what those people are hearing?
Yes it is. If my memory is right, I believe Hal Rugg (Steel Guitarist) was the first one to use that awesome lick on a Loretta Lynn classic. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/zlkTE6k8meg/видео.html
David absolutely Beautiful.... You are one hell of a great pedal steel player....And I'm in Los Angeles and we have our share of pedal steel greats.. I'd put you right up there with any of them...
Franklin, Sho Bud, Rains- they all sound terrific when Dave gets his knees under them. Some Hank Thompson (Green Light---Blackboard of my Heart) would be a treat if anyone else on here is old enough to remember them :) Keep up the good work Dave and all the best Roy in Nova Scotia
I think Dave Hartley could get a tune out of a dustbin lid, he is with a doubt the best PSG player in Europe , and he is like me a Silly Suffolk Man!!!!! Thanks Dave for the great music atb Brian
Happy Birthday again. It surely is good to hear you again. I can only assume that Franklin is one of the better steels. But every brand I've heard you play on sounded great to me. Just keep putting up more videos.
Dave,,,you make every guitar and pickup sound so good that it's really hard to choose a favorite. I personally use the BL-710's in my EMCI D-10. Great pickups!

WOW. Love that cascade at 7:28 ! Beautiful stuff, just beautiful.
Yes it is. If my memory is right, I believe Hal Rugg (Steel Guitarist) was the first one to use that awesome lick on a Loretta Lynn classic. Check it out:
ruclips.net/video/zlkTE6k8meg/видео.html
Thank you David. Very smooth and pacifying music. I liked some of the bends which has similarity to Indian music
A steel guitarist making a pedal steel sound beautiful well done
David absolutely Beautiful.... You are one hell of a great pedal steel player....And I'm in Los Angeles and we have our share of pedal steel greats.. I'd put you right up there with any of them...
Franklin, Sho Bud, Rains- they all sound terrific when Dave gets his knees under them.
Some Hank Thompson (Green Light---Blackboard of my Heart) would be a treat if anyone else on here is old enough to remember them :) Keep up the good work Dave and all the best Roy in Nova Scotia
Farewell party has never sound this good..wow!
Amazing performance!!! Dave you're the better of the better. greetings by Andrew " Kenworth" Kane
I think Dave Hartley could get a tune out of a dustbin lid,
he is with a doubt the best PSG player in Europe , and he is like me
a Silly Suffolk Man!!!!! Thanks Dave for the great music
atb Brian
I think he could take two nails and stretch a string across them; then nail them to a stump log; and David could make it sound awesomely beautiful.
Oh, yeah, Dave, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I haven't seem bar turns like that since the late Tom Bramley, and such great sound. Great Job Dave!
Would love to see you you are the best on the world thank you Jesus for david

Just keep putting up more videos.
Love the Franklin Dave !!!
Beautiful, WOW
this music makes me feel so relaxed ^^
Dave,,,you make every guitar and pickup sound so good that it's really hard to choose a favorite. I personally use the BL-710's in my EMCI D-10. Great pickups!
