i posted a clip of me playing the song "1982"
on youtube
i am trying to figure out how to put a link to it but till i figure that out maybe you can find it
my screen name is fingerpick2007 so maybe that will help you find it

if you watch it, just remember this this is my first time EVER BEING RECORDED and if you watch my bar hand at about 2 min & 8 sec you will see my hand start shaking from nerves

Calvin Walley · Post by **Calvin Walley** » 29 Dec 2007 2:24 pm

well how about that, the link works

John Roche · Post by **John Roche** » 29 Dec 2007 2:44 pm

Calvin that was great, now all you need is to link the chords, by that I mean the from one chord to the next,
this when the 7th chord come's into play , if your in C and the next chord is F then you play C7 just before the change it's a feel thing.
I'm so glad you have overcome the nerves and posted the rersults .
We know where your coming from now, watch out David Hartley.

thanks John

it takes a lot of nerve to put yourself on the line so to speak. the truth is i can play it a ltttle better when i am not shaking so bad..

also john, its in the key of A and B it changes key right in the middle of the song, i am going back and rereading your reply to make sure i understand what you mean

ok the rest of you fellas, if I can do it you can too, so lets hear from you

Andy
did you find it ?

Bent Romnes · Post by **Bent Romnes** » 29 Dec 2007 4:05 pm

Calvin, that wasn't a shake at 2:08, that's what you call bar vibrato! You'll be doin more of that as you go along

Calvin just enjoy playing your guitar, by the way you have a real nice tone on the steel. If I'm ever in your part of the world I would like to shake your hand for what you have done, it takes a lot of gut's to do what you just done. Where abouts are you in the states are you.

John Roche · Post by **John Roche** » 29 Dec 2007 4:11 pm

Sorry I've just seen your from Colorado city. what's the steel guitar situation there , are they many other steelies about or are you the boss

Jim Eller · Post by **Jim Eller** » 29 Dec 2007 4:30 pm

Well Calvin, now that you've started something, I'll come out of the closet too.

Don't let the stage fool ya, it still amateur night. Yes, I usually play with that tremble.

The sound guy must have really liked steel or never heard one before he has me above the vocals. I guess he wanted me to hear my mistakes.

Anyway, flame away, http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pz1a5WCbXa0

If you listen, thanks. If you don't, also thanks.

Jim

John

i have a home in Colorado City Colorado but i stay on the road quite a bit.if your ever in the area give me a shout. i would enjoy meeting you
as far as steel around Colorado, there are a couple of players not to far from me and i think there is a steel guitar club in Denver, but i have never been to one of their meetings

Calvin Walley · Post by **Calvin Walley** » 29 Dec 2007 4:41 pm

hey Jim

not fair you play better than me... haha

i like the Hag in fact, i have been beating myself up this weekend because i can't figure out the chords for " silver wings"
the backup track that i have is in the key of E and has Emaj7, F#m & E6 that i can't figure out

Jim Eller · Post by **Jim Eller** » 29 Dec 2007 4:55 pm

Calvin,

not fair you play better than me. I don't think so. I also say that about every steel player I've heard. There isn't a week that doesn't go by and I ask myself, will I ever get any better.

Like I heard a fiddle player say about an accordion player one day, "after playing that long, you'd think he'd be better".

Keep on pickin',
Jim

Calvin, I sent you an e-mail.

Dick Wood · Post by **Dick Wood** » 29 Dec 2007 6:16 pm

Good job Calvin.

Tell us what gear you used and what you used to video and post to youtube.

Keep up the good work!

Calvin Walley · Post by **Calvin Walley** » 29 Dec 2007 6:33 pm

Larry

i just checked my e-mail and it was not there
i'll give it a few minutes and maybe it will show up

Dick

i just used an old Minolta Dimage Z2 camera with a 512MB data card in it . it takes both still photos and movies
as far as what i'm playing with its a Mullen SD-10 going to a Hilton volume pedal then straight to the amp. the sound tracks go straight into my amp also the cd player is just a $29.00 wal-mart thingy altho i did have to get a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter at radio shack to be able to plug the cd player into the amp
i know nothing about all that fancy stuff some of the guys use

Jim

i had no idea you played dobro...i have thought about those but never had any idea how they worked ..oh and of course you play great ...like you didn't already know that haha

Calvin Walley · Post by **Calvin Walley** » 29 Dec 2007 6:43 pm

John
i have a question for you
in your first post , are you saying that i should go from E to E7 then A ?

Bent Romnes · Post by **Bent Romnes** » 29 Dec 2007 7:49 pm

Jim E
There were a few things in that vid I have to remark on:
You play better than me.
Your Emmons looked like a million bucks. I am envious.
I loved your palm blocking.
You looked so damn relaxed and self-assured on that stage.
You keep it up man.
