The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey Gaylon, Thats some fine playing, I've allways injoyed your playing. Thanks, Leon

I'm never sure whether to leave comments here or on YouTube, so how 'bout both? That was some mighty nice steel playing.

Man, that was great. Here's a newby question, where on the neck are you hitting those harmonics as the fiddle solo is going out? That was especially sweet.
Thanks!
Dan

I could listen to this group all day! Great steel and fiddle.

Gretchen Wilson, one of the finest voices in Country toady, backed by one of the finest steel players. Gaylon, thanks for that one man. Your sound and tone are impeccable. It gave me the familiar shivers when I hear something good.

Gittin' it done there Gaylon, nice fiddle playing, too.

You and that Rains sound great, Gaylon! You sure make it look easy. Gretchen and the gang look like a lot of fun to work with.

Great picking Gaylon.

Now when are coming to visit?

Love ya pal,
bill

Nothing wrong with the way that Rains sounds ! Great song.

WOW! Now that's real country, and way it's supposed to sound.
Where in the world has all the rest of the good country gone.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

@Daniel, I've slept since then and I can't remember what I did with those harmonics..lol. I don't think I ever did it the same from one night to the next!

Great playing Gaylon. It amazes me how well you played with Gretchen strutting around like that.

Awesome , Gaylon. I like hearing that.

just watched this for the first time in a couple of years. I can't believe she can't get radio play nowadays. I guess she's not "Bro-country" enough. THANK GOD!

Gaylon,

That's some good country picking and singing. You play so smooth. It's so refreshing to hear a band play that song the right way. Every band I've played with for the past 10 years, on the chorus, wants to go to the four chord (instead of the one) after the five. I guess it's no big deal, but it's a pet peave of mine. Again, great playing!

Gaylon, you is one relaxed looking steel picker. Good work.

Great playing there Gaylon,,
Can ya tell us what Amp or ? ya was using

Pretty sure I was using a Fender Steel King on that gig.

Great playing Gaylon!

Is she still touring?

No Chris. I reckon she's done.

It's a sad day for country music when someone with a voice like Gretchen and a song like "When I Think About Cheating" can't get played on the radio. Watch this live video with Gaylon. It don't get any better for me.

Thanks Rick. If you want to hear what I consider Country Music you will have to turn somewhere other than main stream radio. I listen to HPR2 on my computer. http://www.hpr.org/ or listen to itunes. I miss playing with Gretchen as she has one heck of a voice for sure. The artist I'm working with now is pretty much all classic country. He's local and will likely never make it to the "big time" because he doesn't fit the mold so to speak. I'm good with that and so is he.

Here's another video of "Cheatin" that I posted on the forum some time ago. Love this song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5hIGoC ... e=youtu.be

Gaylon - I never listen to FM radio. I had XM but Willie's Roadhouse has changed and I didn't care for it either. Too much Texas Swing. I'm a fanatic traditional country fan. I spend my money on the Texas guys like Justin Trevino, Bobby Flores, Johnny Bush, Darrell McCall, etc... and I've got everything Paycheck, Jack Greene, Mel Street, Conway, etc.... ever recorded. Gretchen's Cheating is the last female Nashville CD I think I've bought. I'm glad you've got a good gig going. You're a monster player and the guys are lucky to have you.
