The Steel Guitar Forum

Who played steel behind Andy Giggs?

Chad Udeen and didn't he do great! Chad is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet and can play the fire out of a steel. Chad had an incredible tone tonight and just ripped his solo apart. The only question I have is about his guitar. I thought it looked like a Mullen with Mullen fretboards and red mica but I thought it had a Sho~Bud logo on the front of it. Was I cross-eyed or did I see correctly? Again, great job Chad!

Derick, my son told me he met you at the NAMM show yesterday. He's better looking than me but of course, I'm the smarter of the two!

Derek! Thats my son, Chad Udeen, he's been with Andy Griggs for sometime! I'm quite proud of him! Al Udeen

Mike! Once a Mullen, always a Mullen!

Al, you have the right to be proud. Not only is Chad a great steel player, he is a nice, down to earth person that is fun to be around.

Great Job Chad!

Your pal,
Bob

Al,
You should be proud of Chad! I really enjoyed his steel work. Nice to look at too! Andy has a good band. I bought Andy's first cd, love his new single. I'll add the second to my list to buy Theresa

I met Chad when he was here in Macon with Andy about a year and a half ago. As they were tuning up, he and the lead starting playing a fast number as if to loosen up. I couldn't believe what they were doing. It was HOT and really GOOD. When they were done I asked him what the song was ? He replied: Aww, just something Marty Stuart does !! Yeah, He's alright !!!

Regards, Paul

I saw the Sho-Bud logo on his guitar too, what's up with that, a disagreement with Del?

I to saw the Sho-Bod logo.
Couldn't miss it!

Yeah, I saw the Sho Bud logo too. What's the Story on that ?...al

Chad was really playing fine on the Opry last night. I was on my computer working with the TV on in the family room and when I heard Chad playing I quickly went and sat by the TV. Great tone! He should play that good as he had a great influence with his dad, Al Udeen, who is one fine player and person too! Hey Al...how are are you doing in Maple Grove, MN?
