Chris Scruggs - Harbor Lights

[@jessepersoneni7225]

Whoa, the Jerry Spilt harmonic technique, Chris never ceases to amaze!

[@candlerbennett2155]

i have got to learn how to do this on my lap steel

[@MrPatdeeee]

@@candlerbennett2155 KZbin has the original "Jerry Byrd-Harbor Lights"! I used that recording in 1950; to learn how to play Jerry playing; on this 'classic" Song.

[@SS_Psyops]

You mean using the metal part of the pick to create the harmonic rather than the palm? If so you should it’s much easier and more precise for me.

[@scottbechler9975]

Hands down the best performance of Harbor Lights on the steel guitar that I have ever heard, done in the true tradition of classic Hawaiian steel players, such as Jerry Byrd, and that young feller is a true compliment to your playing skills. The harmonics give me goose bumps! I never tire of hearing you play, Chris... more, more, more!!

[@seanfried5583]

Shit literally made me cry

[@MrPatdeeee]

Jerry Byrd is NOT "rolling over in his grave"! Rather: he's just complimenting Chris Scruggs,for his playing like Jerry did it. Wow... I'm near 92 yrs old, and I first heard Jerry playing Harbor Lights (1950); with the "Harmonicats" band; in a RX shop. And I ate there every day, while in College. So, I always had a 1/4", to play it again. And since I also played the Steel Guitar too; I finally found how; to play that song, like Jerry. So.. Praise Jesus' Holy Name...For Jerry was a dear friend, and may Jesus rest his precious Soul. And thanks Chris Scruggs for playing that one. Because it gave me "Tears of Nostalgia". For, you did a great "Liking" of Jerry. Thanks Jørgen Petersen. P.S. If any wants to hear the JB original; it's on KZbin...called, "Jerry Byrd - Harbor Lights".

Guys, dont get no better than that. Thats real steel guitar playing, no pedals, the real deal !

[@MrGert1960]

This "Fender Dual Professional" Steelguitar sounds amazing. Excellent version! 5 stars!

[@lapdawg60]

Chris is my favorite straight steel player going. Hell, favorite steel of any kind. Taste, tone, chops, perfect intonation whether forward or revers slants. Did I mention TASTE and TONE!? Dayum... makes that Dual Pro sound like God's own guitar.

[@MrMultitool]

Chris is such a talented steel player and was blessed enough to have Johnny Sibert as a teacher. Johnny was my absolute favorite steel player including Jerry Byrd .Of course Chris has the natural talent or all the instruction in the world would not produce the kind of music we just enjoyed.

[@billmckenna7056]

Some of the finest steel i have heard.. great to see you keeping it alive Chris!

[@timrossmultimedia]

I agree with so many of these posts, Chris... EXCELLENT rendition of, "Harbor Lights! " By far the best I've ever heard. Bravo!

[@seanfried5583]

just insane how good this is. brings tears to my eyes

[@nashvillegardener5695]

I was sitting in the audience for this one!

[@billfishoc]

Outstanding version of "Harbor Lights". Excellent harmonics!

[@billfishoc]

Yes, the Hawaiian steel guitar! This has to be one of the best versions of "Harbor Lights".Thank you for posting.

[@beckycification]

Excellent arrangement and playing.

[@martygoin2618]

Grampa would be proud

[@jmeintn]

This is "Harbor Lights", a pop standard recorded by many, including Elvis Presley.

[@stevenhearrell1564]

[@greghines9041]

All of the background chatter just goes to show.... most people are idiots....talking over this performing is a crime. Chris Scruggs is as good as it gets !!!!

[@custerranch]

Anyone able to hear what tuning he's got that neck in?

[@TonyfromBham]

‘Sounds like a 6th tuning. ‘Probably C6.

[@lapdawg60]

I believe he's tuned in C6 (E on top), and playing the tune in Eb

[@scowell]

These are hi-lo, off the SGF: "I just spoke to Chris on Facebook and he says he's using the exact same tunings as Kayton Roberts. C6/A7th and F13th. F13 F D A F G Eb C F C6th+A7 E C A G E C# A A (Low bass)"

[@lucaserrante9557]

A lot of Jerry Byrd tone in Chris playin
