C6 .mp3 – A July 4th tribute to our country

Jeff Lampert · Post by **Jeff Lampert** » 29 Jun 2003 1:40 am

Hi Forumites. As July 4th Independence Day is fast approaching, I recorded this C6 arrangement of several well known patriotic tunes in recognition of our wonderful country and the brave people who put themselves on the line preserving our liberties and freedom. Please click on the website below and then click where it says “Patriotic Medley”.

Jeff, thanks for sharing that mp3 with us. It sounds great and is truly a heartfelt tribute to our Great Country and the brave Men and Women who have served in our Armed Services!
Its hard for me to tell who influenced you more, Curly Chalker or Julian Tharpe, but I hear a little of both of them in your playing. Great stuff, keep it coming!

You really know that C neck! Very very nice! This is what PSG steel is about.
Best, -Dave

Jeff,
I am having trouble downloading your patriotic song.
I can hardly wait to hear it as I am a proud American and support all of our armed forces and anyone that does something, musically or otherwise, to support our troops.
A great fourth of July to all and don't forget what the fourth is all about.

I think my pedal steel guitar must be Communist or something, because it sure won't do THAT....

Jeff, thanks for reminding me why my favorite neck of the D-10 pedal steel is the C6th! I must go practice now. Best regards.

What a Spectacular display of artistry.

A taste of the melody ... then an inspiring array of improvised ideas .

I've seen that the big celebrations have been choreographing their fireworks to music in recent years ... this would make an outstandinge finale for any show.

Good to hear this. Glad there is talent like you around to keep the "C6" beautiful chords alive and well. Best to you and yours over these holidays. Hope to see you in St. Louis. By the way, John Heinrich, session player in the Nashville area, will be there with us at the EXCEL booth. Stop by and hear his amazing talents on the C6 (and E9) necks.
Thanks again for your love of our great country.

Jeff, you have forgotten more about the C6 than I could learn if I were twins. Your work is amazing and outstanding.

Happy 4th of July everybody.

Jeff, as Larry Bell says, "You amaze me".

I wish the Jazz World could see what a Pedal Steel guitar can do in the right hands.

What a wonderful , versatile instrument, and a thank you to the dedicated people like you who play them.

Your tribute to America on this 4th of July is well recieved and most appreciated by this one World War II Veteran.

Happy 4th to everyone and God Bless America......al

I'm really not sophisticated enough to under-stand and fully appreciate JAZZ.......

However, I do recognize and enjoy hearing great talent.

It's a truly fine performance!

Obviously exceptionally fine talent!

Creativity beyond compare!

Thanks for sharing....

Thanks Jeff! We could sure use a lot more people honoring the U.S. of A. with music!

(And if I knew half as many chords as you do, I'd still know twice as many as anybody else!)

Happy 4th..
