[@mattrussell106]

Yes! Everyone else who covers this song feels the need to surround the melody with little licks and doodles and nonsense, then add a couple more verses to fill with more beedly beedly bullshit. Jeff has the good taste to know to just play the tune and then stop. What a player he was.

I was truly shocked and taken aback when I heard of Jeff’s passing. What an amazing approach he had towards the instrument. I believe Hendrix showed us what the guitar could do, but Jeff showed us how it should be played. There will never be another like him.

[@henningsS]

Why do you say that? The slide vibrato?

[@furbymetal83]

@@henningsS In order to get that Pedalsteel sound he is bending the string (raising the pitch) and hitting the bar (lowering pitch) at the same time, and if you dont do it the right way, its very easy to miss the key by going either flat or sharp. Also, when you play it by yourself on guitar, you gotta cover a lot of ground, keeping the rythm section tight and the melody going at the same time, while including all the little embellishments. Lots of things going on
