The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey all

I have always considered the PSG to be a versatile instrument, that can be used on any styles of music.

I have attempted at playing PSG, with a Youtube Orchestral track.

I believe the PSG blends well with other instruments or with voices.

Before I offer this one as a tablature, I would like to have others opinion on it first.

I am no pro PSG player and I am sure there are many, many guys who could play it far better than me, but I am trying to reach, the everyday, home picker.

Here is a link to the song by Celion Dion and Andrea Borcelli, the beautiful song, "The Prayer"

Hey John, Sounds really nice. Keep up the good work on the songs.

Very nice.

Absolutely stunning.

The full orchestra dynamics allow your playing to really 'sing' against the orchestra's backing.

Simply superb, John

Kind regards

The guy that inspired me to start playing steel is Eric Swanson. He plays for Israel Nash, a guy down here outside of Austin, TX. Eric also played steel on a few tracks from the most recent Nathaniel Rateliff record! He's a super nice guy, too. Really smart.

Here he is playing on Israel's song Rain Plans, off the record of the same name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lur7cI1Sq4Y

He doesn't play with picks, and runs his guitar through a selection of pedals. I'd say his style fits the bill of this thread pretty nicely.

John this video is an excellent example of the versatility
of our beloved instrument. You should definitely offer the tablature so others can enjoy playing like this.
