Sez is a great player, and we're really not hearing enough of this style being played. Very Happy

I've got a folder of Sez youtubes. I love his stuff. It represents a whole way of thinking that I never could do. But I gain a huge amount from any time I spend studying on it.
IOW, even if I never try to learn to play this way, every little bit that I pick up enhances my thinking and my playing.
Or I can just sit & listen. That works.

I didn't realize Sez was using 4 picks. That's why it "sounds like a piano sometimes."

*** Just wanted to edit my post be explain why I think Sez Adamson "sounds like a piano sometimes." I think Sez is a very important steel player.

Here's a couple passages in Sez Adamson’s arrangement of “Misty” that sound like a piano to me. @ 0:25 he answers the melody line with two chords on the low strings and @ 0:27 answers the melody line with a single chord also on the low strings.

I’m trying to get that sound but so far not there. It could be his timing - the arrangement and he could be playing the 3 note chords with three finger picks giving the chords a softer more syncopated sound - whereas I’m would usually play a three note chord with two finger picks and a thumb pick. Back to the shed. “Perseverance furthers.”

“Misty” by Sez Adamson

3 finger picks and a thumb pick... you don't strum a piano.....

Great touch and tone and his approach is unique. I love the tunes I've heard by him. Hope to hear him live one day.

Both Sez and Reece Anderson convinced me on the value of four picks. For my background, it has always made more sense.

Sez, also like Reece, is very open to sharing any knowledge with anyone who is interested. I have had wonderful and helpful communications with him - a wonderful person as well as a brilliant player!
