Bill and Fran..Thanks so much in advance, for allowing Bill to post a couple of Jeff's recordings. We can't wait to see them; I'll never forget the times that I spent in Jeff's company, at a couple of his Seminars, over in Mass. He was the greatest steel guitar teacher; God Bless his soul.. You're in our prayers, Fran.. Thanx again, you too, Bill..Bernie

Bill & Fran,

Thank you both for the upcoming videos of Jeff: Bill for uploading them and Fran for permitting all of us to once again see Jeff perform and listen to his great musical talents.

God Bless.

This is truly a great thing for us young guys who never got to marvel at Jeff's playing in person. Thanks!

Bill: Would you kindly post Fran's Web Site Address; I'm interested in one of their E-9th Courses. I often had desired to attend Jeff's Steel Guitar School there in Nashville; Couldn't afford to, at the time; Did get to take a couple of his seminars, when he was on the road. Was so educational; he was the only Steel Guitar Instuctor that I had the pleasure of working with. And was a great person, to top it off.. Thanks, Bill, for your help..Bernie

Bill; I had forgotten how great this man sounded, when behind any make of Steel. This rendition of his master-piece is sensational; Loved that beginning with only riffs which Jeff could produce, with all his inovations of making the steel guitar sound like the most grand instrument, ever placed on our continent or any other . A mighty fine selection, Bill.. Keep them coming; And many thanks to Fran for sharing it with all we forumites..May The Good Lord Be With Her, Always..Bernie

I sure do hope you can let us all relive some more of those special moments we had with our hero.
I'm sure there's not a single person playing steel guitar today that hasn't been touched in some way by his expertise on the guitar.
Thanks thanks thanks Curt

Thank you Bill and thank you Fran, for posting this clip of Jeff. He was a great man and dear friend.
Now, as I dry my eyes, I'll watch it again.
Thank you !

Thanks for posting this Bill. I took one of Jeff's seminars in Yakima Washington in the late 70's. He did this song and it just blew me away as I was just trying to learn the E 9th. I drove my wife crazy for a year learning this song and a few others of his, but it got me started. By the way, in case you can't tell, he is pulling the 7th string F# with his finger to the left of the roller bridge. To this day I have to put tape around that string otherwise it hurty my finger. (ouch) Good memories.

I didn't realize how watching this video would affect me. Very fond memories of Jeff...he was my friend and Mentor, as I know he was to many, many others.

Thanks to Bill and Fran!

I think of Jeff ever so often while airborne. We used to talk about flying more that we did steel at the conventions. He is sorely missed.

I am proud to have Jeff engraved in my heart and on my guitar

Great video of a GREAT man! Listen to the lick that Jeff plays from 1:53-1:56. He used it alot, and in his seminars that I attended he would throw that lick in there and watch us panic & struggle to copy it. He would grin as if to say "this is MY lick...good luck copying it"!

I've never seen that lick tabbed out in his materials and just can't seem to copy it.

I hope that more videos of Jeff's performances can be posted.

. . . with only riffs which Jeff could produce, with all his inovations of making the steel guitar sound like the most grand instrument, ever placed on our continent or any other.

Indeed he did, and it does and is just that.

Bruce
He explained how he did it at one of his seminars many years ago that I attended.
If my memory is correct he said he hits the 5th string and slides back hitting his 8th string and alternates them as he moves down the neck using the pedals and knee levers as reqiured.
