Steel Guitar Rag on steroids

I've played this tune for many years. It's gone through a lot of changes. It use to be a simple little picking tune to loosen up my fingers, but after some serious modding and improvising, it has turned into a real fun tune.

This is my 2010 version

STEEL GUITAR RAG - JAY SMITH (http://home.comcast.net/~jaysmith/14STEELGUITARRAG.wma)

Very well done Jay..Thanks for sharing that.

really well done!

thanks for sharing.

Very nice!

That is great. What guitar amp combo did you use on it?

thanks for the positive feedback.

i'm using my old gretsch duojet with recently added TV Jones Magnatrons. (very tele like)

no amps were harmed in the making of this recording.

i used a pod xt live directly into the recorder.

the backing track was made by me on my old Ensoniq ASR-10 sampling keyboard workstation. i added some acoustic rhythm guitar too.

i like to play all my guitars and give them a chance. i played a strat and a tele on this song too, but the fingering action is so much easier on my duojet. i can pull-off the strings easier, which actually speeds up my playing.

i love the tone of the magnatrons. they are between a tele and a p-90 and carry quite a bit of twang.

thanks again.

Very cool. Good fun and nicely recorded.
