I'm gonna write some stuff down now cuz I know everyone loves the DJ who won't shut up. lol
Anyway, in the guitar slide player world "finger style" is most preferred. You can cover more strings at once and also mute excess string noise like that. Think about this for a moment.... Who's the best slide guitar player? Answer: A woman with long fingernails. She's got FIVE picks.

LOL U.S. Property! Man you need to write an e-book with the wealth of what you know. You, Mikebnllnb and SATX56 have my mouth in a continuous from your sheer breadth of background, wisdom, knowledge, facts etc. And here I thought this thread would be a 'sleeper' appealing to a niche audience. Boy was I WRONG!
All contributors have been extraordinary listening for readers young and old alike. Vaughanwilliams, you went to school with Buddy Emmons' kid? OMG he's FAMOUS! (Take another look at this Forum - hehehe).
Shelby1half, bringing in Bonnie Raitt was powerful! Topher5150, great suggestion of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album! Travric, you saved us from forgetting Sneaky Pete with the Flying Burrito Brothers! Mkpunk, loved Robert Randolph's Nobodysoul, which I missed somehow so it was a real treat!
Todd00 I was pleasantly surprised to see that David Hartley has a channel! davepedalsteel - YouTube Good find. Fighter 1, you're right about David being a master of "good old country pedal steel"! I loved listening to his music. Soupson1, Jeffrey Allen "Skunk" Baxter with Steely Dan is a great reminder of him in his wild days! (never would have believed he of all people during the 80s switched careers toward military ie data-compression algorithms and large-capacity storage devices!) He works with missile defense and chairs a Congressional Advisory Board... who would have thought? LOL like that saying goes... Never judge a book by it's cover!
Canadian citizen, Jeff HealeyBand video was awesome. Yes, gone too soon from cancer but never forgotten is right. Blind with a 6 string Fender on his lap took us places.
I will be very busy in coming days but wanted to personally thank all for enriching our musical lives. I'll try to put in a couple more artists after today if time allows. Again, thank you all.
A pedal steel instrumental by none other than Chuck Berry. Issued on the album "After School Session" (Chess LP-1426) and the b-side to "School Day (Ring!
Ring! Goes The Bell)" (Chess 1653). 1957. Chuck is believed to have used a
Gibson Electraharp on this cut.
In June 2004, some of the greatest living guitar players and their bands
gathered at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, for a three-day festival to
benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua.
"Crossroads Guitar Festival" was the ultimate concert for any music lover, featuring
one legend after the other: Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson,
James Taylor, Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Walsh, John Mayer, Robert Cray, Robert Randolph,
Santana, ZZ Top, and many more
Eric Clapton/ Robert Cray/ Buddy Guy/ Hubert Sumlin/ Jimmie Vaughan/ * Robert
Randolph *missing from title* - Six Strings Down Live
"The Crossroads Guitar Festival is a music festival and benefit concert first
held in 2004 and again in 2007, 2010, and 2013. The festivals benefit the
Crossroads Centre founded by Eric Clapton, a drug treatment center located in
Antigua. The concerts are also intended to be a showcase for a variety of
guitarists. All were hand-picked by Eric Clapton himself, who addressed the
2007 audience, saying that each were some of the very best, and those who had
earned his respect."
^ Not with links demonstrating/illustrating their point of view, training the ear. LOL
