1988 Joliet Ill Jerry Byrd part 1

[@grantcurless3635]

I can express enough how important this video is to me.. his playing is just breath taking and awe inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing

[@stein-fredricsvendsen8530]

Thank you Sooooo Much. Cant get enough of Jerry Byrd

[@wlm2618]

Was our neighbor in Nashville back in the 60’s-70’s. One day he just left his family behind, wife, two daughters and moved to Hawaii. They never recovered. No respect for him here.

[@lonesomelenny7606]

The steel has a vocal sweet voice. Excellent!

[@michaelkiese7794]

I love it when the masters talk straight with no BS.

[@2011Matz]

I was somewhat relieved to hear Jerry say he got "messed up" going from 7 to 8 strings, so its not just me.

[@BadassBazaar]

Beautiful!

[@bumpysfriend]

"Sweet Someone" very uptempo at 27:44

[@michaelkiese7794]

@@bumpysfriend You're right! thanks for the correction! How D'ya do was definitely a mistake. Do you happen to know what the last song is?

[@limastila]

@@michaelkiese7794 That one is "Ua Like Nō A Like". Attributed to David Nape and Alice Everett I believe. Great song.

The master of nonpedal steel

[@MrGert1960]

The Fender Stringmaster is visibly a triple neck

[@rossoxenbridge7495]

Jerry my favourite non pedal steel player.

[@derekmoore6265]

I think you need to listen to Rudi Wairata,George defretes,Sol hoopii and Dick McIntire…… much much …. Better.

[@ronwhitfield7951]

Your first three didn't even have great time nor would they agree with you

[@derekmoore6265]

@@ronwhitfield7951 Rudi Wairata had a masters degree in music.Jerry was a painter and decorator in his spare time.

[@derekmoore6265]

@@ronwhitfield7951 Rudi was one of the best educated persons to ever play the steel guitar.I have a lot of Jerry’s LPs and I will never play them boring and never heard him play anything other than his over use of the volume pedal.If Jerry was the only one playing Hawaiian music I would have never like Hawaiian music.

You found it. Frank should have been an announcer

[@derekmoore6265]

I never did like Jerry Byrd’s style.

[@derekmoore6265]

Is that steel bar or a brick he using … sounds terrible

[@larrydering1598]

If you could play 1 percent like Jerry count yourself fortunate. KZbin doesn't do justice to this master musician. Look him up and see his work with some of the most respected singers of the times.

[@derekmoore6265]

@@larrydering1598 Rudi Wairata the best in the business.I would not like to sound like Jerry, don’t like his tone or style.
