[@stressfacture]

kurt was killin that

[@4Naturalgreen]

For those of us just learning, this is gold!! We need more of this stuff on KZbin. Much more, and more often.

[@barryebarnes]

isn't this supposed to be in 4/4 time?

[@4Naturalgreen]

@@barryebarnes Does it matter? Doesn’t to me. For me, it’s more about the technique than the time signature.

[@brazilgrass]

What a privilege to be able to watch this. Big thanks and cheers from south Brazil, Byrdlander.

[@freddiepitz2982]

GREAT STUFF!

[@charlesarnold8337]

Way to go Beaverton Elks, and a great job all contestants. I think that was a great idea and you pulled it off very well.

This is great. Great job, everybody...

[@johnchambers7516]

My goodness, how did you ever get so many steel masters together at one spot at one time? Would have been nice to print names of each as they played song together. John

[@JamesMichaelErickson]

That would be courtesy of Larry Behm and the Steel Guitar Forum. I'll see if I can't get Larry to give me the names of everyone here so I can post them. My uncle is playing, that's why I come, and I only know a few guys, although I have taken up the steel guitar and hope to play at the jam one day!

[@shobud71]

Masters??

SO SUCESSO.

[@matthewwaddington]

byrdlander-my pal and I were there and had a great time- thanks for the video. can i asked you what you filmed this with?

[@JamesMichaelErickson]

+Matthew Waddington It was with my Samsung Note 4 phone!

[@glennso47]

Matthew Waddington A camera.

[@jeffmoore4437]

Around the 12 minute mark there's a guy playing what looks like a Bigsby. Is that the genuine article? If not it's an awfully cool rig and an awesome reproduction. Thanks for posting the video.

[@3achtolife4life]

Mike at 4:30 has the most massive hands lol he makes that bar look tiny

[@ronshalita]

We use to do this in Los Angeles, guess It was just to much for Michael to put on anymore ... where was this (city) thanks in advance..

[@JamesMichaelErickson]

+Ron Shalita It was Beaverton, OR, a suburb of Portland. Sorry for the delay in reply! I've been tied up learning how to play the steel guitar. I got the bug from these guys!!! lol. Take care.

[@IvesMarcelin]

👍👍

[@JamesMichaelErickson]

Matthew Waddington, I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in Full HD mode.

[@jamesseddon1404]

A mult- group of pedal steel guitarist who all have one thing in common, 'NONE' of them visually use their knee pedals? !!!

[@jaygold4467]

Half the guys in that room had abysmal right hand form with very poor blocking. Embarrassing.

[@redriveral2764]

+Jay Gold Embarrassing to who? I loved the video, these guys (I'm guessing) are like me and play for fun. I give them 100% credit for getting out there and showing their stuff. Everyone had something different to offer. You are not much of a musician if you knock your fellow player.

[@58Tailfin]

+Jay Gold I thought these guys sounded damn good, considering few of them probably have regular gigs. The only way to get better at playing in public, is by working up your nerve and playing in public! It doesn't help guys get the nerve up, when there are judgmental and negative buttheads with big mouths out there, talking down to guys trying to improve their game. Shame on you Jay Gold

[@wyatt1153]

+58Tailfin I suggest you correct your right hand technique along with these others. Like having toilet paper stuck on your shoe.

[@58Tailfin]

Wyatt and Jay Gold....Please post a link of yourselves demonstrating the correct blocking. Show, don't tell

[@sledge1960]

+Allan Jirik I've played multiple instruments for over 40 years and never in my life ventured to discourage anyone from having a go at making music. Playing for fun's what it's all about. Forget the haters, love the music.
