That's not Country , it's Western Swing like Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys . There is a difference. You are right though that is how it's played boys...
Great tune, When I was a kid here in Kentucky I used to hear this on a radio trucker show late at night. It was a thrill to hear those notes and put a desire in my heart to play too. Learned to play guitar later in life.
These two are in there element that's for sure. Talent on loan from God. Nothing like true pro's to put it down like that. A absolute pleasure to hear and feel. Close your eyes and fall into the deep soul of the tune. It's like a living breathing being Anyhoo. Gentlemen the honor is mine and I thank you. You made my day a whole lot happier and just better thank you for what you do. Thanks for sharing later my brothers be safe and peace to all
You both obviously love the music and those two instruments like so many of us do. Thanks for sharing guys and all the very best to you as you bring some joy to this world!
LOVE IT LOVE IT.When I was a kid,before we had tv I used to hear this on WCKY Cincinnati at night and dream of playing guitar.Thanks Dave brings back memories of an innocent time of my life.
a great pair of pickers You tell how well by the way they blend so well.Love all your work! So sorry to here of Johns Passing. Must be a great loss to you David.
This is when John lost weight. Unfortunately, it came back and did him in. I have the same problem. Weight gain, weight loss, weight gain even more. I am trying to work with a physician to work it back off. Minus 5 pounds now from my recent top. David and John were two peas in a pod, perfect together. At least we have a number of great videos we can still watch of them performing on TH-cam.
Aww how superb you guys were playing your instruments together, music of our age group - from late 50's to 60's n 70's. John Stannard playing touches of Les Paul - so so awesome Thank You for the Memories, just love it.
These guys play the best version of these songs, I've listened to the others they just don't have the same sound and feel. Thanks guys. God bless peace my brothers. Keep on jamming. Thanks again boys.
The gentleman on electric guitar is very good as well...I love this display of good talent...I pick a bit...I want to pick like the electric guitar picker...dang-it-all!!!
Just fantastic! You guys are GREAT. Reminds me of going to country shows in the 70's when country music was country. Sounds just great. I could listen to you all day. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
Dave, when I hear you play my favourite Steel Guitar Rag, I want to burn my guitar! It was the theme song in the band I played in for years. I am glad they didn't have internet back then.
Thanks you guys always just male my day go that much better. You serve humanity in a way most people won't ever truly understand. Thanks for sharing later my brothers peace to you and yours God bless us all. everyone.
Thank you for commenting on my Steel guitar Rag video. John the tele player is using a Fox Vintage Amp and I am using Telonics Amp and PreAmp in the rack case sitting next to my steel. It's a Peterson stroborack filling the third section of my rack case. The The Fox amp is miked up, and the steel is a direct from preamp recording although I am playing through two 15" Evans cabs. It's a live recording and we are monitoring the backing track through two Martin Audio ICT500 speakers..Very Loudly!
So fine.....I just bought a 'student' 10 string pedal steel and after seeing just how hard lap steel was, it multiplied the difficulty about 10 fold! This was a great performance! John's standard guitar was sweet and perfect too!
All I know is you guys are some of the best country pickers I have heard working together. I love the style you guys have and the chemistry... Wish I could jam with you!
This is the tune I was looking for back there in 2008 ( I think ) when I first stumbled across Dave and his pedal steel.............Astonished is the best word to describe what I found.
these two together were just great. each one alone were good but i like the two together were the best ,john was perfect with dave> Too bad john is not here no more.R.I.P. BIG JOHN.
how's it going? we need more people like dave! after hearing many different steel players i think the most difficult thing is to be strictly in time. due to all the effects and bending and transforming there's often a slight lag and the player has to be somewhat a tiny bit ahead. dave is always spot on that's why it always sounds so sharp and precise. at least that's what i as non-pro think what's going on.
@rustyguitar1, IF,,, a person can't walk, chew gum, pat your head, rug your stomach and sing the National Anthem (in perfect key!)... All at the Same Time....... forget about the Pedal Steel!! LOL ; ) How is your PS learning going for you, 11 years later? I'm in the same category as you... bass player 🎸, but never even contemplated the pedal steel and am self learning the Lap / Console steel, instead. The reason being... I'm in my early "later" years (just retired.. kinda), now... and figure I probably do not have enough years left to get proficient on the Pedal steel.... so I've chosen to eliminate 4 of the 6 points of separate co-ordination (knee's & feet), and just stick with 2 hands.... and whatever is left of my brain cells... and it's still a "chore" (but, Fun!) to learn. : ) PS; Just recently (Oct.2023) picked up a high end range/"beginners" Mandolin, to learn as well... now that my Lap & Console Steel playing has graduated from "shrill noise" to actually starting to sound "Like" music. Enjoy, and have fun!
I have heard this many +times but never like this! you guys are great.greetings from the u.s.a. this is the 1st time I have you guys play together!!! you are GOOD!!!!!!!!!!
How nice of you to play one of my favorites for my birthday...Nov.10th! Thanks! I like to play this tune on my Lowrey Stardust using the steel guitar sound.
RIP John Stannard. What a great guitarist gone. 😥
😔😔😔
Sad to hear that John Stannard passed away. Rest in peace sir.
Great job by both. That's how country is played boys!
That's not Country , it's Western Swing like Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys . There is a difference. You are right though that is how it's played boys...
@@paullevine1813 Western Swing is a Country sub-genre, so it is most definitely Country.
Your electric guitar solo is absolutely amazing
One of my favorite from you two, just sad than John had passed away we''ve lost a great guitarist and certainly a friendly guy
So sad. He was a great picker.
best guitar rag I have heard in a long time!!!!
These two guys play well together. I really enjoyed that, like so many other tunes they've recorded.
Great, thxs.
The best I have heard in a long time. They just do not play music like this anymore in today's world.
Pure Country Music !!!
Great tune, When I was a kid here in Kentucky I used to hear this on a radio trucker show late at night. It was a thrill to hear those notes and put a desire in my heart to play too. Learned to play guitar later in life.

Rest In Peace John...a truly phenomenal picker!
Leon would be proud of you fellows. Very fine job guys!

Wow, I was saddened to read that John Stannard passed away last year. He was quite a talent!
You both obviously love the music and those two instruments like so many of us do. Thanks for sharing guys and all the very best to you as you bring some joy to this world!
LOVE IT LOVE IT.When I was a kid,before we had tv I used to hear this on WCKY Cincinnati at night and dream of playing guitar.Thanks Dave brings back memories of an innocent time of my life.
(Take it away Leon) Awesome rendition of a timeless classic...
Excellent! The guitar break was a very pleasant surprise!
WOW guys, I think there's magic in your finger tips. I've heard this song played many times but none any better than this.
Country classic gospel

Love it all, Dave, but Steel Guitar Rag is my most favorite!!
I'm reading a book at the moment & this song was mentioned, so I wanted to hear the song for the first time. Cool song & great pickin'
Every time I listen to this.. such good memories of my dad picking it on the guitar many many years ago. Love it! Thanks Dave & John. Love it!
My goodness! One of the best tunes I've ever seen here on the tube! God Bless you both! AWESOME!
You just don't know how enjoyable I find your music, I listen most of the time I am around the computer . . . thanks a mountain.
good musicians says it again and again
A truly exceptional version of this famous country song. Greetings from Italy.
Gotta love you tube. To hell with listening to todays country radio. I'll come listen to stuff like this!
That ole boy plays the fire out of that Tele too!
The United Kingdom has produced some amazing musical talents and right here are two more! Great job! David & John! Keep up the smooth playing!!! Jim
You mean they weren't born and raised in Nashville???
Sadly, John is gone now but long live his sound....... (Steel Guitar Rag was recorded in 1936 by Bob Wills and his boys)
Once a day I listen to these guys, They're the best.
a great pair of pickers You tell how well by the way they blend so well.Love all your work! So sorry to here of Johns Passing. Must be a great loss to you David.

One HELL OF A GUITAR. Hope you are entertaining them in Heaven, John. /Judy/Maquoketa, IA (south of Dubuque, IA 30 mi)
Dave is the Chet Atkins of Pedal Steel and John is the Chet Atkins of Chicken Pick'n..The best of the best.

This is my kind of music. Great stuff. You two never fail to bring a smile to my face when I hear this kind of music.
Dave, when I hear you play my favourite Steel Guitar Rag, I want to burn my guitar! It was the theme song in the band I played in for years. I am glad they didn't have internet back then.
In the immortal words as it pertained to this song, “Take it away Leon!!”
So awesome! I could listen to this all day!!
I remember Rocky and the picture of the Texas Plainsmen he had hanging in your living room when we were kids.
Great Britain's Got Talent! Seems you two got the lion's share (: Always a joy to hear the great music you provide Thanks again !
Roy in Nova Scotia

UnBelievable! These guys are great! They outshine a lot of the musicians on the radio today. We need to broadcast this stuff! # # #
All I know is you guys are some of the best country pickers I have heard working together. I love the style you guys have and the chemistry... Wish I could jam with you!

Steel guitars are the best sounding instruments ever
Love it a lot !!!!!!!!!!!
I love to jitterbug to this song! great job I love your music!
Fantastic...!!!!
Im a bass player trying to learn steel guitar. After listening to you I want to work that much harder to learn how to play steel!
how's it going? we need more people like dave! after hearing many different steel players i think the most difficult thing is to be strictly in time. due to all the effects and bending and transforming there's often a slight lag and the player has to be somewhat a tiny bit ahead. dave is always spot on that's why it always sounds so sharp and precise. at least that's what i as non-pro think what's going on.
god much more steel plz hehe (:O)
They actually compliment each other well; playing harmonies and small runs. Probably my favorite two instruments
@rustyguitar1, IF,,, a person can't walk, chew gum, pat your head, rug your stomach and sing the National Anthem (in perfect key!)... All at the Same Time....... forget about the Pedal Steel!! LOL ; ) How is your PS learning going for you, 11 years later?
I'm in the same category as you... bass player 🎸, but never even contemplated the pedal steel and am self learning the Lap / Console steel, instead. The reason being... I'm in my early "later" years (just retired.. kinda), now... and figure I probably do not have enough years left to get proficient on the Pedal steel.... so I've chosen to eliminate 4 of the 6 points of separate co-ordination (knee's & feet), and just stick with 2 hands.... and whatever is left of my brain cells... and it's still a "chore" (but, Fun!) to learn. : )
PS; Just recently (Oct.2023) picked up a high end range/"beginners" Mandolin, to learn as well... now that my Lap & Console Steel playing has graduated from "shrill noise" to actually starting to sound "Like" music. Enjoy, and have fun!
If I could handle a woman like these guys play their music... I would never get any sleep!...Awesome.
Loved it. Takes me back
You guys are great! Love your music.
You two play so well!
Just plain awesome that's country
Oh, soooo sweat. I wet my leg every time you guys upload a new tune. Thanks.
ALWAYS MARVELOUS TO HEAR AGAIN, T´ANKS OLE SON !
I have heard this many +times but never like this! you guys are great.greetings from the u.s.a. this is the 1st time I have you guys play together!!! you are GOOD!!!!!!!!!!
Takes me back to the Old days
Brilliant as usual
I love this kind of music. Used to hate it as a kid, but now....YEE HAW!!!
How nice of you to play one of my favorites for my birthday...Nov.10th! Thanks! I like to play this tune on my Lowrey Stardust using the steel guitar sound.
Such great harmony WOW!
