A week ago I downloaded the new live album God My Rock, and while loving it, I couldn't help suspect that it was too perfect to really be a live album; I figured it must have got doctored up afterward in the studio. I'm glad I stumbled on this video because all my qualms about the album are put to rest... it sounds great because they are gifted and anointed musicians, playing to Jesus. So do get the album!! About the slide work, I never questioned that they had a pedal steel guitar player.
AND A Slide...OK I am an Idiot, making assumptions so fast...I have NEVER seen anyone imitate a pedal steel like this, ever...this cat is unbelievable. Also Volume pedal, not knob This is one slick guitar player.
Scotty Murray is one of my absolute favorites and is so underrated for certain. I first saw him play along with Brenton Brown (at the time thought I was hot stuff...but after seeing him do what he does clearly I was not) at CMS in 2012 (I think) in Buffalo. He had that guitar he's playing in the video and at one of his classes he handed it to me to try out... I had no clue what to do with the thing lol. But Scotty is a session player. Session players are among the best of the in the world. Period. I'm going to try and get a video up about the song using a "Hipshot" B bender with a G bender attachment. He is using some OD, delay, verb and volume pedal for swells. The majority of what you here is technique. Which, of course, is the tough part to reproduce. May be a while before I get it on YT though. So far what I have figured out is that he is tuned to open E which allows for single finger barred chording. This setup also allows you to make chords with a slide. The bender for the B string is set to bend up 1 step and the bender for the G is set to bend up 1/2 step. Again the rest is setting up your gear and getting the technique. Practice, Practice, PRACTICE!! And whoever gave this a "thumbs down" clearly has no ear for music lol
Duesenberg makes a multibender which replaces the bridge on most teles and strats and works like the tremolo in this video. it's a little pricey but you can add another arm to bend the g, b, and d string. it's on my "if I ever make money" list.
I can't wait to meet Brenton Brown at CMS @ the Chapel in a few short weeks!!!! Not to mention all of the other great musicians that will be in attendance or performing.
OOPS-NOT p-white b bender!!!! But a system on his BIGSBY Tremelo that I have NEVER SEEN BEFORE!! But it seems to work ok, huh! Plus this cat is damned good at using it! And don't forget the VOLUME KNOB!!!
Now there's the information I was trying to relay! Except... I didn't know any of that haha. Good knowledge. And he must have his delay and/or reverb effects after his volume pedal to keep that sustain going. This guy is cool
I realize it's like 4 months later but it's a mechanism that has 2 separate levers as you can see, one of them affects (I believe) only his B string, the other affects only his G string. When he presses one fully down, it will take that string up a whole note. There is a name for it but I forgot it. Makes for the sickest guitar work if used right (clearly)
(continued) Imagine my surprise when I saw the camera cut to a guy playing an SG. I've never seen lever mods like that. Anybody know how they work? Love the video!
Believe it or not it conceived (if not invented-don't know the exact story) by Clarence White of the Byrds, who was a mighty impressive country /everything player...it is called the "Parsons / White B bender" though some guitars have a B bender string on the bottom strap button and a G bender on the top; bending achieved by pushing down on gtr body...distance of bend (1/2 step, whole step,etc.) adjustable by metal knob THIS IS A MAJOR MODIFICATION seemingly best suited to Teles.
Anyone else watch the guitar solo 100 times?
Guitarist is Scotty Murray. He is a genius with that slide and needs so much more recognition
Solo is pretty dang epic...not gonna lie!

This is probably my all time fave song
One of my all time favourites, sung and played so beautifully!

His guitar player is out of control!
I watched you guys in a church in Cape Town when you came to South Africa :) you guys are awesome!

would love to hear more of individual instrumental abilities in worsip music more often.
I love it. You remind me of Tommy Walker on this one Brenton. Scotty, nice work on the SG!

Amazing song made better by an amazing guitar solo.

i'll reach 100 soon.. such a beautiful solo!

a slide. but most of the sound he is getting is because of the bridge he has
Agreed
whats that thing on his finger called again ? ( electric guitarist )
Wow who is that guitar player
