Michel is one of the best players in the world, I am proud to say he was / still is my mentor and a great influence on pedal steel, I am a Big fan !

Thanks Joe Krumel for posting.

This has been long overdue, Great news indeed, wishing you all the best !!

Hey Chris , Good to see you on the Forum, yep that's a great tune, good choice ! This really features Michel's work on C6. Michel has a very unique style of playing like none other. Not a copy cat ( like me ) but playing his own stuff and how he feels the music in his heart ! I hear him on the Radio...

Thanks Joe Krumel for posting, this is long overdue, Michel deserves a special spot in the steel guitar world, he is a great player and what Paddy Long said , a top bloke !

Always thinking of you , From down under Tomi-steel.

Great playing, world class...so many great players on this forum we never get to hear. Thanks for sharing ...really like it !!!

I just saw this, really sorry to hear the sad news about Mike's passing. I wrote to him last year how much i enjoyed his playing with Tammy Wynette and he very kindly responded and sent me a couple of demos of his recent recordings. It was a big buzz for me to get this email from Mike. What a gentle...

Hi Susan,

It's phenomenal to listen, It's like a musical journey through time and space, Great how you are introducing steel to a different audience. Really nice work on steel. I think you are a great player ! Was this recorded through Fender Tonemaster ? : )

Thank you Paul, really appreciate that !

Next step is a Paul Franklin Method : )

Really enjoyed your work with this new band.
Cant wait for the CD to come out.

Thank you so much Paul for clarifying about single coils on your guitar. I must say that tune you played on is so adictive to listen to. So much so that i sat behind my steel and try to learn your part...well as much as i could. Also a quick question Paul; as you move your bar down the fretboard, it...

Hey Ricky, This was after i watched that video for about 10 times i paused it and noticed single coils on Paul' guitar. Sounds awesome .. and so are you my friend. Been watching your videos on Youtube, very inspiring ! Lot to learn from.

Single Coils too on that wood body Franklin.
They look like TrueTones...

Hi Larry, very nice playing, great tone ! Not sure if Peavey is still in business, this video actually inspired me to look in to getting one of these Amps. Really like your high strings response and mids are really nice and has a character to it. Although i would bump the lows up just a bit. But tha...

Hey William, what a beautiful steel you got there, Good luck with the sale, although I still think you should keep it as you won't find another one like that around. Don't get discouraged if you are struggling trying to play it. It does take time... Take it slow ! Paul Franklin has got some great st...

Hi Bradley, yes i enjoyed it very much. You got good dexterity and your bar is very srtaight on the frets.
Excellent job. As Paul Franklin said once; Strive for perfection. Keep up a good work : )

Nice Eric, really enjoyed that !

What Steve Hinson said, we don't realize how we take things for granted and become choosy with songs we like to play and songs we dislike , although crowd likes it anyway. They are having a good time regardless if a "we" like a song or not. In many situations I have to force myself to like...

Hi Paddy ,

How are you, Long time no speak, nice photo of you playing a Franklin, is that Paul's guitar while he was touring with Dire Straits ??? It's a jewel. I bet that one plays by itself : )

Mine is "Guitars and Cadillacs" 3 times a night ...should be a fiddle solo yet "they" keep throwing me solos agrrrrrrr, no more ...no more, out and over !!!!

Really enjoyed, Thanks for posting
