Jeff

Great job. Keepem coming

Roger, outstanding! Great sound and execution. Wish I could do it half as good. Give us more!

Sweet. Keep em coming. Tell Phyllis hello for me.

Thank you all for your nice comments. I will try a few more tunes in the coming days.

Charles I will tell Phyllis you said hello and thanks for your comment.

Tell your Phyllis I said hello too!

Charles, I want you to know how much I appreciated your help when we were moving.

I know you must be doing great on your new Mullen G2 Steel. The progress you have made since taking up steel is remarkable to say the least. Hope we can get together and pick soon. Tell all the guys hello.

I got my Ritt out of storage a few weeks ago, and can see that I have a LOT of Wood Sheddin' to do.

Roger, good picking. Sure is a pretty Ritt.

I love it Roger.......you did not sacrifice the melody for the sake of displaying your technique (which is obvious)....like so many do. I will look forward to your next post.

Best regards,

Ben

Thank you Bill and Ben for you nice comments. I have posted two more videos a little while ago that you might like....most Steel Players like to play these tunes...
"Half A Mind" and "Another Bridge to Burn"

The links are in my first post.

Roger,

You made my day. Good songs, good tone, good taste, professional quality all the way..... and you didn't copy anyone else! More!!!!!

Very nice Roger. That is one good sounding steel too. I would love to hear a faster tune from you as well.

Rick and Paul I appreciate your comments. I will be posting some more tunes soon and will include something a little faster. I am glad you liked the tunes.

Since I had an extra space here I will post a link to a tune I have on Photo-Bucket you might like to hear. Laney Hicks on the Vocal Track......

what amp you playing through these days?

Mike Archer

Chippy:
thank you and I am glad you liked the tunes.
I will have a few more available for post soon.

Greg:
I would have posted some tunes on U-tube before now but I never had a simple means to do it until I got a Vado-HD Pocket Video Camera a few weeks ago. I just put it on a tri-pod and turn it on and point it to what I want to video...it has one of those little
"Pepper Shaker" microphones built in that picks up the sound.
That's all I use. I am suprised at how good it performs.
I have been a Forum member since 1998 and have had the pleasure of hearing some very good and some great players on here. I have benefitted from all our members who, collectively, can answer anything one might ask and who is ready to help out when called on. I am proud to be a part of a group like that!
I try to listen to all who post tunes if I possibly can.
Thank you for your nice comment.

Joe: Thank you and am glad you liked them.

Mike: Thank you for the kind words.. I surely will
Tell Phyllis you said hi.
I only kept 2 of my Amps when I moved to Georgia....a Fender Steel King and a Peavey Nashville 1000....they may be a little heavy
but they will get the job done! I used the Fender and Peavey on these Videos....right now I like the NV-1000 better.....next week I'll probably like the Steel King better.. You know how it goes.
Tell all the guys hi for me.

will do Roger ill tell um hello

sure is good to see you on here!!
and hear you play again

later Mike

Hey Roger, great picking, enjoyed the vids, when you get to missing us hillbilly's too much, come on back to TN. We miss you. Will be looking for more great music.
Thanks
Wayne

Roger, I believe you showed a Nashville 1000 and Hilton pedal along with your steel? Are you using any effects? That is a great sound you have there.

Hey Roger it sure was great to hear your playing again.I'm going to request a song I would like you to play The Waltz you save for me.Guys if he plays this song just listen to how pretty he plays it.And Roger you did a great job on what you have posted keep up the great work.
Sam White

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Paul: No, I'm not using anything but the Reverb on my amp. What you hear in the video is what the video Camera is picking up. I do have a Digital Delay but I seldom use it.

Wayne: I miss being away from my Hillbilly buddies, they're Good Folks! The people here in Georgia are very nice too...Southern Hospitality!

Sam: I see you made the move to North Carolina. I believe you're really a Southern guy at heart. If you are ever close to Summerville, Ga. swing by for a spell. Tell Anna I said Hi. Have a safe trip to Arkansas.
I'll try to do the Waltz for you as soon as I get back from Macon, Ga. ...Going to see my Grandaughter in a school play and visit a over the weekend.

Sounds real good Roger. I didn't realize you had moved to GA either. One of my best friends and musician buddies lives in Summerville, GA. His name is Ricky Woods. Ricky plays guitar and bass and has played on many of my instruction courses over the years and also played rhythm guitar on my Chattanoogz Choo-Choo album years ago. Ricky is an excellent musician if you happen to run into him sometime.

Again, excellent playing.

Herby Wallace

Roger,

I just heard you for the first time. Very well played and a joy to listen to 3 or 4 time just now alone and some more in the future. Nice sweet sounds. Thank you for posting that.
