[@Daughter-of-an-outlaw]

Love watching these episodes! Each one is full of amazing information, incredible stories, and then the mind blowing song he does at the end of them. STEVE EARLE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Lots of love from Canada!

[I just saw Steve Earle play slide. 2020 is looking up! Thanks, Maestro.]

[@juliewalters2339]

I’ve seen these tricones before I guess I never knew exactly what made it sound louder......there’s a speaker inside! Thanks Steve this video was a good one. Loved seeing u smile. 😊

[@andrewgoodwin9385]

Thanks Steve. We hope to see you back in Newfoundland again.God bless.

[@62PKC]

Thank you Steve, for keeping us connected during these hard times. That’s what you’ve always done, though, isn’t it?

[@MrJohnr47]

Great song. Appropriate to 2020. Thanks

[@cluelocker]

That was a wonderful series you were in, post Katrina NOLA, Down in the Treme! Nice song.

[@Texas1836Band]

Really good job on this video. Great narration and informative to boot 👍

[@darringodden7225]

This video felt like I was watching a very good friend play how wonderful is that. Best of luck to everyone

[@markknopflerisnot]

Beautiful guitar with such a unique, iconic sound

That's a very nice guitar 🎸 Mr Earl 👌 😀

Thank you Steve. Stay safe and well. All the very best.

The Luthiers who built this guitar 92 years ago are smiling, their workmanship is still making music!

Thank you for the music...

You and the guitar are great.loveit.

[@sonsoftexas]

Awesome video. These are very informative. I’m loving his explanation of how resonators work. Keep em coming man. Great stuff.

[@adamchurvis1]

Hey everybody, Steve Earle is also the actor who played Walon the former addict on The Wire. He's an amazing man.

[@marileesteele1804]

Saw first a Nat’l Steel guitar on Antiques Road & found Steve Earle! Wunerful surprise. Fascinating. Slide is as I imagined, but all the steel (AR guy said brass) would be less giving/forgiving than wood, hard on the joints & heavy like the sound. Thank you for posting & looking you up.

[@bookwormsurfer]

Late night listening....covid sleepless nights....my younger son with autism, just whispered to me "my favorite song on the Treme soundtrack, Mum." Affirmative, second son.

[@richhillyer3448]

Fascinating. I love this stuff. Thanks Steve !

[@jeffhutchins6874]

Love these videos man.

[@JohnlynHD]

Thanks Steve, I love the sound and the look of the National, just beautiful. And I love slide guitar. Great song and Treme was one heck of a series.

[@restlessinamsterdam]

Love the resonator guitar - beautiful art work on it! And love the song too, makes me think of the series 'Treme', lovely ♥

[@CB_ChaosLove]

Steve, I saw you in Ottawa in 2016 Copperhead tour and the show closed with Tedeschi/Trucks, wonderful show indeed!!

[@Mosey410]

Great song Chilly day here in Baltimore Nice to warm up with Guitar town .

[@torontolarrivee7965]

Gorgeous guitar and song dude

[@cherrypickerguitars]

Hey Steve - I thought I’d seen all your Guitar Town episodes, but this one slipped past me. I sold my tri-cone about a year ago, before I moved to BC. It was just a Korean made one, and I cut my collection down to 25 guitars for the move. Today is a bit of a sad day for me as I’m taking my 1955 RI White Falcon, and my Martin SC-13e into Kelowna to put them on consignment. I want to turn them into a Roy Smeck Radio Grande! On my KZbin side bar I see a suggested vid by Mark Stutman of Folkways! He’s a expert on small bodied Gibsons and was the guy who set me up with my lutherie teacher Sergei de Jonge. Peace

[@usererror1969]

love your videos Steve. Keep up the good work and stay safe

[@whitebluesky6932]

Love this. I have never seen one of these guitars before. It is beautiful. "This City," a really great song! The guitar goes really well with a bluesy tune. The flower on the guitar, maybe a wild rose or violet? Regardless, sounds great!

[@WilliamKnifeMan3202]

I was lucky to have met you at the Vancouver folk music festival a few years ago, I live in williams Lake BC. I’ve been debating getting a resonator guitar ever since I heard you play satellite radio, think I might just look a little harder into getting one. Loved your music for as long as I can remember, thanks for sharing even more of yourself through these videos! Love you Steve!

[@govetter]

All is well. That guitar is lovely!

[@VictorRochaGaming]

I click as soon as you post. Pavlov's guitars, I guess. I love guitars. (I have about 40) It's very cool that you love them too. Thanks for sharing.

[@deonal]

Your books and T shirts are interesting too. Cheers from Vancouver.

[@mairianncullen8753]

Hah! I had just been thinking, 'Steve could do a new series on his t-shirt collection' 😉 He's got some cool ones!

[@deonal]

@@mairianncullen8753 I know right 😄

[@darlincommitme]

The videos shot in Nashville are even better for looking at his reading collection. I would love to see him do a book review series of his favorites.

[@mikedennis6979]

Beautiful guitar. I've loved that sound since Progressive Blues Experiment. Johnny was the Greatest

[@Texas1836Band]

I’d like to see Steve play Copperhead Road on a Resonator 👍 It would be very cool!

[@earFront]

I too have a 1928 National, it is aa single cone bakelite neck "Triolian". Not chromed but painted int the tan with palm trees on the back. Let's hear it for 1928!

[@chasemichael5742]

What a beauty! Love the song as well, been eyeing a resonator at my local guitar store for a while now and reckon it’s time to get it!

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Wonderful video and a beautiful and very desirable instrument. We made a video about the history of these beautiful and unique pieces of American design. ‘A History Of Resonator Instruments.’

[@joannehack7588]

She sure is a beauty

[@sandrabecht4489]

Steve Earl 👍👍🇩🇪

[@sesa1076]

I LOVE that tshirt.

[@joshuabrande2417]

If you're playing outside with the sun in your face, you'll burn the retinas out of anyone who's looking at your guitar. They're incredibly fun to play, bottom heavy, and as for me, I prefer the 12 fret to the 14.

[@gatnip1]

Dammit I missed YOU on the the Grand Ole Opry tonight. 😫

[@OldBoley]

Beautiful, Wonderful, Fabulous

[@davidboughton3129]

Electrics came along and changed almost everything. Foot pedal boards and now modelling amps give you hundreds of tonal options and also provides a sloppy player a security blanket. But if you want your guitar to sound like Son House etc... you still need an old National. I've got a '31 "O" and a lot to learn about fretting accuracy.

[@friendofbeaver6636]

If you're using a slide on any National, it's best to use your ear on the high notes. The bridges are not compensated. In the early 30's, intonation wasn't that important to guitar-playing. Congrats on owning a fine historic guitar!

[@davidboughton3129]

@@friendofbeaver6636 Hey! Thanks. When I took it out of its case the first time I had a little history rush thinking "who's played this? A front porch grampa --- Bukka White?" Mine's got a 2" seam separation on the bottom that saved me from the usual 6-10K $$. VG condition otherwise. :)

[@bigkeg9173]

Love a resonator 👍

[@angelacullihall2059]

Love it! ❤

[@jimolson8424]

Steve; can write music; to any guitar or mandolin. I would like to see him play a banjo. I know. He could do it..

[@RebelDukeTX]

Steve, never a shortage of acoustics and various resophonics around here in Austin. Used to perform "South Nashville Blues" on my Style 0, in either an open D or open E. Fun playing the vocal melody with the slide, while simultaneously singing it. Don't think you had this one yet. But didn't you use a newer National polychrome Tricone on "CCKMP"?

[@GratefulHead1969]

great song Steve!

[@sloburnjo]

wow.

[@robertturner6651]

Those are wild roses.

[@loveone4292]

Wonderful instrument

[@LUCKYB.]

Them tricones are nice thats for sure . They are a bit over bearing when a speaker is rt up on it ..

[@garrysmith1722]

The most beautiful guitars ever made in my opinion, and, boy, do they deliver sonically. Stupidly loud and the most beautifull vocal tone though getting the best out of them is a bit of a learning curve. YMMV etc.... I have a modern NRP Style1 tricone, cost me £2,500 and worth every, single penny. Walk on stage with one of those and you immediately have people's attention. When you then go on to avoid the expected blues repertoire, you've won!

[@pierheadjump]

Thanks Steve ⚓️

[@dbcurtis9827]

I own a 1928 National Duolian . The last year they made a wood National. It is a fun guitar to play but ya gotta find or write the right songs. I tune it to either open G or DADGAD

[@ernestgibson8950]

Brother I started driving sole in 1980 . I rode with my dad all of my life started driving at age 12 in 18 wheelers. WILL you let me know if I wrote a song I been in every truckstop in the 60's until know . my song is ... steel behind the wheel . Please reply. ◇€Z◇

[@patrickonvancouverisland9223]

Good stuff man!👋

[@xkguy]

Funny but I keep a Dean resonator tuned to opened D so I can play This City without having to tune a guitar every time I'm in the mood.

[@yamahasgmark9530]

Hey Steve !

[@ericbennett1872]

Thanks

[@johndavies5023]

Great to see a resonator in the series. Finally bought a little Gretsch Boxcar single cone not long ago. Definitely not in the league of a shiny National but sounds and plays great for the money. Highly recommended for anyone on a budget.

[@wheninroamful]

Thanks for the vid, you got one of the earliest Nationals there are. BUT PLEASE, get a better mic system setup, i had my hand on the volume buttons the whole time. I know Resos are loud, but i couldn't barely hear what you said at part if you leaned out of the mic 'area".
