Life is funny- when I was a jazz kid in the 60s I thought Hawaiian music was old men stuff- Now, that I'm an old Jazz Beatnik, I'd trade all those hot Bird licks for this blood- pressure- lowering bliss. Something very primal in this like the music of India... goes way deep into the psyche. Jerry is the living end. (rip) Band members are straight from Heaven....
Jerry Byrd is one of my idols ; in the playing of this grand guitar style of playing.. Music from the Islands is so smooth and wonderful & relaxing.. Make one want to throw a grass skirt on and dance to the waves.. Post some more of these fine renditions by Jerry..Bernie
Beautiful ❤️brings back sweet & tearful memories of my 100% full blood Hawaiian greatgrand father❤️who played his steel guitar every evening ! Love Jerry Byrds & his steel guitar ..just as good as my great grand father ~John K.Akapa ~❤️😊not famous😊 never wanted to be, just was 100% Hawaiian & lived our culture humbly❤️ I miss him❤️his 74 year old great grand daughter!
Jim Janssen The Orchard Enterprises, we are grateful to you for this. Magnificent, Barney and Jerry a declaracion to Beautiful Kahana and all the Paradise Islands of Hawaii. J.B. thanks for your musical heritage
Yes, He was the Master of "Touch and Tone". NO one will ever be as good as he was. Proof... Buddy Emmons (the greatest pedal steel guitar player that will ever have lived), and countless other "greats", believe this and have often said it in different ways.
@@xx_pcgamer_xx6866 Talk trash ..z Rudi Wairata the best in the business….. I will never listen to Jerry as I don’t like his style and he is certainly not the best by far.Rudi had a masters degree in music and it shows.
For those of you that have spoken here about Jerry's beautiful steel guitar music and how very much it moves your inner spirit, I'd suggest you visit Jerry's fan club site. Lot's of photo's and songs to listen to.
music is not meant to be a childish pissing contest, each and every musician and the music they produce is beautiful, we are here to enjoy Jerry, Hiram, Dennis and Gary, that is sufficient.
Great, what a master of his craft. I wonder how he tunes both necks, i have a similar double neck 16 string. I have one neck tuned to C6 and was going to try for E13 on the other neck but never quite got there yet. Any advice from other lap steel players would be greatly appreciated :)
Hi contact scottys music in st.louis he got loads of tabs made by jerry byrd himself in both c-diatonic tuning that hes using in this video and c6th if that better for your choice.Scottys music also have a big steel guitar course made by jerry byrd and a tutorial dvd by jerry himself.
I hear a lot of imitators of Jerry Byrd’s style.Much easier to play than Rudi Wairata style.I never hear Jerry playing too fast try and copy Rudi’s style and see how close you can get. Then tell me who is the best.If it wasn’t for Rudi Wairata/George de fretes/Dennis Brown and the Kilima Hawaiian among others we wouldn’t be listening to Hawaiian music today.Aloha

An Era in Hawai'i history gone but not forgotten. Simply amazing mele... Mahalo ke akua🤙🏾🙏🏽
It's unbelievable how this music is able to express the tender and loving depth of the human heart. Simply beautiful. .
What a treat! I've been a fan of Jerry's for years! I love it!

Beautiful! There is NOTHING more beautiful than steel guitar!
This makes me SOOOOOO homesick! Sigh---
Luv this!
Wonderful vocals and Hawaiian steel guitar. Thanks for posting this beautiful song.
Without any doubt Jerry Byrd the finest steel guitar player in the history of the instrument! Flawless and beautiful tone.

Rudi Wairata the best steel guitarist by far. With a masters degree in music.
th-cam.com/video/1qcjilTZIXY/w-d-xo.html Rudi Wairata the best in the business.
@@derekmoore6265do you comment on every jerry Byrd video just to talk trash?

There's no music as beautiful as hawaiian music and no better steel man playing it than Jerry Byrd.
Shirley Murphey ...this is nothing if compare to George de Fretes or Rudi Wairata

Dewi: I like Rudi better than George, but neither can hold a candle to Jerry Byrd.
haha wtf dude
on a 9 year old comment no less
@@musket-hc1fc that rubbish Rudi Wairata was a better Steel guitarist than Jerry Byrd
amazing skill Jerry Byrd - tops!
私の心は暖かくなります❤️
beautiful
Beautiful!!!
Wow Uncle...CHICKEN SKIN!! Mahalo for posting dis!!
Haway allo stato puro, e poi il mitico Jerry Byrd......
so nene,bring da tears
King of Touch and Tone! Ekualo Mayer
Rudi Wairata by far the best steel guitarist
th-cam.com/video/1qcjilTZIXY/w-d-xo.html Rudi Wairata.
Jerry is playing a short scale double neck Sho-Bud made by Shot Jackson of Sho-Bud in Nashville.
That's the fucking coolest thing I've seen in a while
I like how Jerry’s guitar has a faux-pedal steel look. Little Roy Wiggins also had one like that.
Man, that's beautiful. The only thing missing is some hula girls.
Nashville’s loss was Hawaii’s gain! Jerry was never appreciated in Nashville!

Ｉ LOVE MELE❤❤❤
Yes, but if you see other songs from this set, you'll hear him on SAND and, yes, the intro is justified

zo zeikerig dat t weer mooi wordt! net een lapsteel gekregen, ga um proberen!
Who was Wynn Stewart's steel player? He was great
myharthott
Does anyone know what kind of Steel MasterJerry Byrd is playing? Is it possible to get one similar somewhere?
It's a Sho-Bud
Is this his “C diatonic” tuning?

Totally agree Rudi Wairata was the best in the business.
