Jim-Just heard it. You showed how to take a E9 tuning, country song, and make it sound a little Jazzy in a very nice way. Very Acceptable....al.

Jim is that the new MSA ? Sounds great.

Joe Smith · Post by **Joe Smith** » 23 Dec 2007 8:55 am

Jim, I didn't know that you had a MSA. You can make any steel sound good. Like they say, it's all in them hands.

Fantastic E9th work Jim. Beautiful job on that song.

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 23 Dec 2007 10:52 am

Gee, thanks, guys! As Big E used to say, I thought it was important to show that steel guitar is not just a jazz instrument.

Actually, that tune is from my forthcoming country music CD! Can ya believe that? After 30+ years of playing steel guitar, I finally decided to record some country music! (Well, I like to keep my audiences guessing, 'What will he think of next?')

Stay tuned on the Forum; we're gonna have some fun soon generating names for the new CD!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!

p.s. I do have a new MSA Millenium D-10, previously owned by Tommy White. But this tune was indeed recorded on my Fessy.

John McGlothin- I just heard your "Have yourself a Merry, Little Christmas". It sounded like Good guitar playing. No Steel??
I have a Christmas songs on too for the season. "White Christmas "and "The Christmas Song " that Nat King Cole made so famous in the 50's....Thanks again to Tilley for us being able to hear all these nice songs by Forum Steel Players... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all...al.

Thanks Al...I guess its probably the style I used on the song, I did it on the C6th neck mainly just chord work rather than a lot of melody...I'm just getting the hang of playing C6 but I love that tuning...E9th is great but C6th is greater. Your playing sounds fantastic...Have a Merry Christmas Al from our house to yours.

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 24 Dec 2007 3:10 pm

John-I was just wondering how you did. It sounded like such an Original style, that I couldn't tell. I think it was very good. We need more C6 playing styles. Thanks for your kind comment on my Christmas Songs. Merry Christmas to you and your Family...al.

"Lamp lightning in the valley" is a song I love, I hope some will enjoy my try on it! Im getting back to the steel guitar after 16 years, without holding a bar in my left hand!!

Uffe-I just played your song on Tilley's site.
(He has done a great job setting up his site so we can hear all the steel players).
Good sound and very nice playing on that E9. Nice background.....Merry Christmas and Happy New year...al.

Charles-Yes Thanks, keep it going for Tilley. Now that the holidays are over, guess I better think about taking my Christmas Song off and put something else on. I will try playing one with Band in a Box and send on to Tilley, when I got time. I hope...al.

I try to work in a couple of hours each month to check out Charles' site -- especially listening to all of the new ones listed at the bottom of the page. A lot of good steelers there -- and, Jim, your "Lucky" is great.
