Hey Everybody

My friend David Hartley & I Just Got Back from the Dallas Texas Steel Guitar Jamboree.

I met the very great and Talented Mike McGee

He very kindly allowed me to record him playing "The Lord's Prayer".

This man is very underestimated and with his permission I have posted the recording He did for me on Youtube.

I would love you folks to watch the video and maybe, comment on this one take recording.

Thanks to everyone we met in Dallas.

Good Lord! Surely that's not an E9th neck! And if it is, what, pray tell, is the copedant?

Wonderful job, Mike.

Marty...

As he told the guy, "Well... I guess you can change the strings"

Richard,

Hi, Mike ... that was indeed a beautiful piece. Excellent work.

Here's a quote from that linked post ...

David Hartley wrote:Wow, No wonder I am having trouble working out your fantastic version of the Lords Prayer Mike. What a copedant you have there !!.. That must be a guitar not to be moved around a lot I reckon. It must weigh a ton? Does it stay in tune OK? Blimey, is this the most pedals and knee levers anyone has ever had? Phew..No wonder it took me 2 hours to try and work out 8 - 10 seconds. I was trying bar slants, two feet on pedals and all sorts..

For the other forumites, here is Mikes copedant..

You have a very interesting copedent, Mike, and it sort of reminds me a bit of one I had on my MSA Classic XL (10 floor pedals & 10 knee levers). Here's my old MSA copedent below (and I hope it's readable and not too small):

It was a real job getting that copedent on there and everything working right. I only had the E9th pulls on pedals 4 through 7 for a few months, then removed them. They made for some really stiff pedal action, but it was fun to experiment with.

Again, that was very beautiful and a very nicely done rendition of The Lord's Prayer.

Why am I not surprised at what a superb job Mike has done on "The Lord's Prayer". I've said many times to many others what a great player Mike is and so very underrated. And by the way, he is also a superb guitarist and bassist and what I am the most proud of is that he is mine and Barbara's friend and brother.
Luv ya brother,
...Roy
