I know what you mean; "Country" has its' own unique sound, & it should remain that way, in pure form. Anything else is a crossover, blending effect such as country-rock, the outlaw sound, etc. Even when Alabama came on the scene years ago, a lot of the "purists" didn't want to follow along.

it would be the same as taking bluegrass & throwing a trombone in there! (I know, there's probably a youtube clip of that!) :mrgreen:]]> Hear Here katmetal https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319595 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319579 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:05:00 +0000 good lyrics with lotsa hooks.]]> Hear Here dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319579 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319551 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 06:11:46 +0000 search Big and Rich Look up "Rollin' the ballad of Big and Rich" even has rap in it by Cowboy Troy, it's a unique song.

new country
and pedal steel is getting rare on stage.
Paul Franklin is usually the only steeler I see on the TV music award shows lately.
Les Pauls, Explorers. big pedal boards torn jeans. yeeha. new country.
I have to say Brad Paisley is a killer guitar player. really knows his stuff.
newer country seems to have more posers with clever songwriting using hired guns in the studios.
Nashville must use only the one guy on tele. scanning the country radio dial I seem to hear his licks all across the bandwidths.
like any popular music it is a commodity. its a living. meh.
there are some really great players, writers and producers making country music today.
you really have to look hard and deep.
oddly enough I found some good country on soundclick.
and it comes out of Norway.!
my tastes grew from me being curious and tracing the line of country backwards.
the further back I got the more I liked it.]]> Hear Here dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319546 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319493 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 00:34:23 +0000 Hear Here katmetal https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319493 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319491 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 00:14:19 +0000 as for country music, I stopped listening to contemporary country when I saw someone wioth a Flying V on stage in a country band. the new country does not fit me. I love forst wave country. 50's early 60's. that grew out of my liking of conutry swing, from the pre pedal steel days. lap stel and a swing strumming with amazing jazz type licks (Joe Maphis and the like).
yeah, the early post WWII country is great.
if I could be reborn I would want to start pedal steel early. as much as I want to play it I find the skill needed to play what I hear is waaay beyond the time I have now. and like I said, I am having so much fun getter better on the six string guitars.
oh well.]]> Hear Here dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319491 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319477 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:21:47 +0000 Cool stuff.
It's like being in church without the inconvenience of having to go there.

Sounds like you are a natural with it . . . shame on you for not pursuing it more. :mrgreen:

one of these days, and soon, I would like to collaborate with you. Sounds cool; I like to talk shop anytime. I must admit though, I am not up on the "latest & greatest" stuff out there. :lol: Since I am in a burned out period (Seems like I go thru several of those) I haven't keep up with current happenings in country music, etc.

A big prob. for me is, since I am a natural at this instrument, I don't really ever need to practice it that much. I can be away from it for months & then sit down & cut a studio recording without any practice whatsoever. The problem with that is you tend to not practice on a regular basis & try out new things.

It doesn't seem to affect my playing all that much though; I can "hear" so much that the instrument has potential for, that I can pull new stuff out of it pretty easily. I can almost "see" the music coming out of the instrument! Wow, that's heavy stuff!!! :mrgreen: I am not meaning to be "braggadocios" with these statements, but just want y'all to know where I'm coming from! :lol:

Now, the 6 string electric is another matter for me; I must constantly watch my fingers & be thinking about what I am doing with it. Funny, the guitar seems to be the instrument that gives me the most challenge. Drums/Bass/Banjo/Pedal Steel etc., all the other stuff comes fairly easy to me. It is odd... :roll:]]> Hear Here katmetal https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319476 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/my-pedal-steel-guitar-soundclick/#post-319432 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:46:17 +0000 also, I am glad you mention the steel guitar forum. what a great place over there.
