I’m proud to have Jerry Byrd as my grand-Kumu. My teachers teacher
This was great. I hope young people learn to play the steel guitar. The sound it makes is so relaxing, beautiful and tropical.
I'm 22 years old and I'm considering learning to play this amazing instrument. I hope it's not too late for me.
@@ramonguerrero1093 Not at all! 22 is so young, and if you haven't started yet, 23 is a good age too to start. I read this quote the other day that really changed my perspective on starting things later in life, "Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."
@@ramonguerrero1093 If it’s too late for you, I might as well forget music altogether at 40! Nope, it’s never too late as long as there’s breath in your body.
love this documentary i recently converted my first acoustic to a lap steel in C6 tuning to help me learn the use of tone bar and my slant skill to give me better understanding as learning tool alongside with a pedal steel guitar i inherited from my grandfather after his passing
Beatiful documentary. I love steel guitar. Thanks! From Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Great to see that amazing episode finally in good video quality !
Lucky we have several different kinds of Hawaiian music today 2022. Now like the
Steel guitar, falsetto, slack key, Jawaiian, hiphop, rap, old style, contemporary, classic, chant, kahiko,
olapa, folk and all the basic styles throughout Polynesia. A new genre is entering the field it is called
"IWI" music.
Molokai IWI Band good example of that new sound. Full circle kine music.
@@MadStatter hehe 😅🤣😂
Wonderful doc!! thank you!
Muy interesante este documental muchas gracias por su aportación.
When I hear this I get homesick......
I play Mohan veena, which is essentially derived from a Hawaiian steel guitar introduced to India by Tau Moe in the 1940s. We play raga music on it and Bollywood and other light music. I also lived in Hawaii and so it's beautiful to see the history of this Hawaiian instrument. Does anyone know where I can find sheet music or tutorials for these Hawaiian songs? Mahalo ❤️🙏
Wow. I cant believe this is available and free
Jerry Bird 💥😮😳👍❤️ the famous // i look for if they talk about...Sol Hoopi.....very good document vidéo ❤️👍
Ah-Weh!!!
The nostalgia is sooooh thick!!!
Just a matter of time, till someone figures out an algorithm to do this on a keyboard.
i could play forever and still not learn it all, all the tunings, styles around this earth and that's only one instrument! it's nice to get educated even if i can't play it yet
It's Gerry Bird here also ...
As a non-musician, I've reinvented the lap steel tuning to be simpler and easier to play.

With this setup, I can emulate just about anything I'd want to.
As far as Im concerned, the simpler sounds are best anyway.
On my 25" scale length, these string guages yeild the fullest possible sound.
Pretty neat! Eddie was the expert of steel guitar.
hahaha! You can sound terrible or you can sound more romantic! love it!
Interesting! Old steel is nice. Basically all steel is same--you get sound you want.
Aloha! Can't wait to move to Hawaii in 9 days!!!
Ha ha hah,......!!!
After 2 days, you're going to want to move back "home".
Why
