steel guitar instrumental of an old Hank Williams classic

[@danshaw7950]

Beautiful. Amazing that these old songs never get worn out. They always sound new and exciting and desirous to learn.

[@daktariusa]

Simply Haunting. There wil never be another Hank williams.

[@MichaelJohnson-eg4bj]

No one plays it better, awesome playing

[@asaro41]

Very good Pickin-im still playin this song now days....Joe in Vegas

[@louislamonte334]

Beautifully played, my friend! You're an inspiration to me!

[@Breadon92]

i could listen to the steel all day long. it reminds me so of my poppa. he played it so much when he as younger. now its hard to get him to play anymore due to his loss of hearing and arthritis. he can still make it sing like nobodies business when i can get him to play though. i got a lap steel this christmas and i'm learning to play in his steed. the first song i learned to play was Steel Guitar Rag which i'm proud of. they said that was ambitious for a begginer.

[@GibsonF4F5]

It sounds beautiful and I don’t have a clue what Brian Z from 10 years was listening to but it’s very heartfelt and the best, thank you.

[@VictoryRoadBand]

Now that is great playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@labarim1]

I had a friend I played with now and then that passed away a few years ago, the great Leo LeBlanc. He got me interested in playing and I finally got off my ass and decided to teach myself. I still haven't put too much time in it but I wanted to say thank you to you and all those who give their time in recording themselves playing. It is such a selfless service to all those learning or who just want to watch. Got a Carter and ShoBud Pro II calling my name!

[@rjduck76]

I have recently purchased a lap steel guitar and am trying to learn to play. My teacher has currently given me the task of playing this tune. Watching and hearing you play it has given me renewed enthusiasm to persevere.

[@pedalman]

That is simply gorgeous , excellent hands on a great guitar equals superb tone. , You nailed it. And hey ,I was always lead to believe BLACK Emmons pedal steels sounded the best. !!!!

[@rkb1941]

I keep coming back to listen to this redition. Soft, clean and just pretty. Thanks for sharing.

[@frankipoux]

Just beautiful. Somewhere between J.Day and Buddy Emmons. Also nice camera angle...thanks.

[@smid2550]

Pretty tune - well done.

[@Jibbie49]

I remember going to dances as a child with my parents, and hearing instrumentals like this. Dance away!!

[@andyg564]

Ive just bought my 1st pedal steel at 45 years old and now listening to you Im more determined than ever to master the instrument. Beautifully played.

[@stargazer444]

I love this I'm hooked

[@iwillrocknroll4eva]

This was ABSOLUTEY BEAUTIFUL! HEAVENLY! My uncle plays the steel guitar but it's been a long, long time since I've heard him play and he's around 80 now. Great job!

[@donkuhn9597]

Very well done Carl that's one of favorite Gospel songs . Thanks for sharing and I'm sure it will touch someone. Keep them coming.

[@Tycho114]

Beautiful playing. There's nothing like the sound of a pedal steel played well. Thanks very much.

[@jimkenslu]

[@wesmatron]

Your playing so smooth you could coat non-stick pans with it. Love it.

[@sepp102]

Hello, Great song played in a wonderful way all the best

[@bentromnes7865]

Carl..I listened to half the song. Then I subscribed. Then I knew enough to tell you what a fine steel player you are. You obviously love the instrument...it shows in your every note. Now I will listen to the rest Keep'em coming! Bent

[@juslikejohnwayne]

[@MrGrahamcracker9]

This is a beautiful job done on a great sacred classic. I love the video. It shows the complexity of the Pedal Steel Guitar and the skill of the guitarist. Best of luck, Wally

[@AECEntertainment]

thanks buddy, im learning steel myself and find this video helpful, as this is the first song I wanted to learn.

[@dweishome]

great job my friend

[@naalar]

Wow ! This is wonderful. I keep trying to make my Strat give up these sounds. (-: Larry

[@swisssteellady]

Thank you for the nice words. I am happy that your channel is back and so are others. See you in Dallas?

[@Ratman1969]

very good TY post more videos plz

[@gojohnny10]

just wanted to say . Thank You

[@TimezAlmostOver]

My favorite bluemmons piece.

[@EvilCensor]

Thanks for sharing.. hoping to learn to play one myself. Love the sound at 1:18 - not sure why.

[@LoveLove-rr3zu]

Great job. Wish I had that tablature

[@OlafRonald]

Weldon Myrick plays a turquoise Emmons pedal steel and Neil Flanz has a brown one....they sound as great as this blue one!!

[@cliffordswales4974]

Grate Job! I like the song M.O.T.H. played slow I also like the way David Hartley plays the song . I try to play Steel . I have a new Justice P.S.on order from Fred Justice. From Cliff. Swales

[@Breadon92]

well actually my poppa is my grandpa. but he seems to really get his vigor back when he does play. i found it funny this christmas when i asked for help on a song and instead of just helping with that one song he went into like 6-7 others on top of that. thats why i say its bogus when he says he can't play anymore. he says that his Dobro is gonna be his gift to me when his time comes and i'm gonna definitly cherish every second i have with him and try to play with him as much as possible.

[@Gusclassicrockchannel]

drdavidcordova suggests (6 months ago)(in spanish ) that he should wear boots for a more country style, I completely agree, but I also agree that I love the way he plays steel guitar. Rock on

[@jb2wheeler]

Sometimes I wonder if when I get to heaven the angels will be playing the steel guitar instead of the harp. JB

[@TheAngello120]

Told you so, never met a steelie who wasn't a good guy (just lucky I spose) takes too much brain power to work out the instrument to leave room for being mean, love your touch bro'.

[@bluesteelpicker]

How smooth can you get!!! Is the backup track available

[@vandercy100]

muito bom...

[@daktariusa]

smooth

[@Payola65]

This is ONE AWESOEM job of Steel Guitar playing ~Though I think the BASS play is playing WAY to much ~Supposed to Compliment the steel not try nad be a solo himself ~Sur ewold love to Play Bas on this one for sure~Loved ~your New Freind~Steve

[@labarim1]

I have been playing guitar for over 50 years. I play all styles and my playing ability is comparable to John McLaughlin. When I meet guitarists, it is always a pleasure to hear someone play. I don't judge them on their ability and my hat goes off to every person who plays in public regardless of their skill level. I pick around on acoustic for fun but no one would know how I really play unless I decided to play like that. Like Bluemmons said, show the link. Stop being judgemental.

[@drdavidcordova]

magnifica interpretacion te sugiero usar botas para un ambiente mas country

[@shazbot10]

sweet

[@Jacob-jq2ot]

🎶

[@rthinds]

Ok - somebody smarter than I, please explain: At 1:43 he does 4 key changes without moving either hand, nor his feet (other than the trailing vibrato). How is that possible? (Is it his right foot?)

[@johnjp5883]

sounds great Carl, I was curious on what amp you are using?

[@TheBlackxism]

hwy what is your foot controlling??

[@garycook5298]

I am just stalking you this morning! Let's get together and play soon.

[@brianzaborowski2724]

No need for an apology and I didn't mean for my comment to sound so harsh if you took it that way.

[@AECEntertainment]

Hey Carl, where did you get the backing track for this song

[@MrPatdeeee]

First of all I don't play it. And I was NOT being judgemental. Judgemental is "subjective" and why Jesus said, "Judge not that ye be judged". I, on the other hand was stating a fact. Proof of that is HW's original recording (easily searched on UTube). Or listen to Buddy's rendition of it. You can find that too easy. Only a deaf person could not see that my words were fact! Now you have had your say and I have had mine. I stand on what I said, and shall not respond to any more trite comments.

[@MrPatdeeee]

To be truthful and let the chips fall where they may: This rendition of HW's classic, which featured Jerry Byrd, is a far cry from how this awesome song should be played. The ONLY other player I EVER heard that did it the justice that JB did, was Buddy Emmon's version on his double album cut in the fall of '77 on the stage of they old Chase Park Plaza hotel in St louis at the Steel Guitar Convention.. Dave drags the tune WAY to slow. His voicings and phrases diminishes the song. patdee

[@TheAngello120]

Not only is David H' a nice chap, he would never condone his name being used to diss' another player hope you guys get on well, oh but please when you post another vid' polish the shoes man, bit scruffy LoL.

[@clydeholbrook]

@naalar get a b-bender telecaster

[@brianzaborowski2724]

Not bad, but terrible sound quality after just listening to David Hartley who is the master of pedal steel. Not picking on you, but sounds like your recording equipment isn't up to snuff or something ... sounds muffled and doesn't have the clarity all of Dave's recordings have.
