"Every Breath You Take" Bishop Ronnie P. Hall

Post by Bishop Ronnie P Hall »

Hi my fellow steelers! :D
Here is a melody that the British group called the "Police" recorded back in 1983, that helped to make them superstars in that day.
Here is my little rendering, on the steel. I hope somebody gets a little smile out of it! :D Enjoy!

I enjoyed that. A group I play with does a cover of that tune and I play the rhythm guitar riff. After hearing your rendition, I may see if they'll let me switch to steel and do a short lead break instead!

I think your melody was very faithful to the song and your playing was top notch. I also enjoyed the jam out.

I'm enjoying the range of songs you select and your sharing them with us here.

Hey Jerry! :) (Overstreet)
Always glad to hear from ya! I sure do hope that they do allow you to play it. It is really a piece that can be an asset to any group that allows the steel to play a short, or long lead. I`ll be listening out for it my ole friend! Be blessed, and as always Thanks! :)

Hi Johnny! :) (Baldwin)
My friend on the west coast. :D Thanks for looking in on me. I am honored.
I was just thinking about "feeling, and emotion", and said to myself, "all music, and musicians play from their "hearts", and "depths of their souls". It is the one arena, that another musician, can sense your emotions as we play,and so, in that, you`ve nailed me perfectly! I just play, and hope for the best! Thank you again for your kindness, it means much.

Who is to say what is right and what is wrong. Just say "do you know how long I had to practice to get it just like that? That is just the way I wanted it." lol

Keep on my friend.
