Pat that's great stuff for sure. I think I like the "black shoe" tune better as opposed to the two "black and white shoe" tunes.

I have heard this guy play from across the parking lot up in Cave Creek. He plays at the Chip and I am over at the Corral. The breaks between sets just aren't long enough to run over there. One day I will though, maybe this weekend.

Hey David....

That is so true. He is so creative and has so much to share with us all. The steel guitar community should figure out a way to take advantage of his talent and love of the instrument, and pass it on to the up-and-comers.

Not many boundaries for him!!

Not Danny.

Danny's playing is the greatest!!! I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the "Chili Beer"?

Somebody forgot to tell him you can't play that cleanly and with that much dynamic range without a volume pedal. And I think the quick, fluent pedal work is all a result of the sneakers.

Outstanding playing.

Danny, old buddy, old pal, it would have been nice to see your ugly mug too. Would like to visit with you one of these days, I might just pop by to see you someday before we are both in a rocking chair.

Absolutely brilliant! A master of picking dynamics and chord choices.

And what an unusual foot pedal arrangement ... looks and sounds like a version of Curly Chalker's setup, but with a different setup on the 2nd pedal from the left (a G->F lower, I believe).

Danny's picking is just incredible. I have never liked jazz but when Danny plays it, I LOVE it!
This man is way too much in the background. It has to change.

Danny, you're insane and I love you for it! For those of you who haven't seen Danny play live, treat yourself and go.

back when i was starting out on steel in the seventies, i'd hear legendary tales of this guy in reno named danny sneed...then with my calgary connections i'd hear of danny sneed...anyway, i think he's cool and i will continue to pass on the legend!

Wow. Everything he plays is so musical and interesting... just good, all the time. What's his setup? Looks like (front neck) pushing the A&B down go from a 4 to a 1 chord.. the opposite of standard setup.. and looks like a bunch, if not all pedals work the front neck. Wasn't one of Speedy West's tunings "backwards" like that?
I'm a fan for sure.

Danny invents his own tunings and pedal changes. Note he's not using a volume pedal in this video. He's playing musical inventions without cliches. I've had the good fortune of speaking with him on the phone. Danny is a gem!
