Hi everyone. I had a great time in Dallas.

This is one of the songs I like to play on my non pedal steel guitar. Hope you enjoy “Crazy” doing my way.

Thanks
Billy

Big fan of your playing. My next steel will have an A6 version of your tuning. Thanks for posting this.

Billy,

I loved your rendition of the song "Crazy." You are a awesome steel picker! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely superb. Thanks Billy!

... a little over the top for the "just play the melody" part of me, but great fun to listen to, and a nice reminder that pedals were invented so that we could play what Billy Robinson plays. Great job Billy!

Billy you are such an inspiration. An absolute legend with those Pedal sounds. Do you have some tab on it. I'd buy in a heart beat for those bends

Billy, that was super. Love your playing and tone. It's the best.

Billy

Really enjoyed seeing and hearing you in Dallas again this year.

Your set is always one of the highlights of the weekend.

I also have to mention how much we enjoy Ray Allen when he joins you to sing a few numbers.

Mike

That's what I'm talkin' about! Thanks Billy, Don

Love it, Billy. I have a tape I inherited from a friend now gone of you doing that song. I'm really inspired to practice "Crazy" more. Love that tone, delivery & styling. Thank you so much for sharing.
Question: What are your thoughts of any advantage of your C6 tuning over a Bb6, &/or Bb13th. Do string gauges have anything to do with your choice?

Your the best, Billy!

Great to see you on the forum. Look forward to seeing you this summer!

Billy Robinson · Post by **Billy Robinson** » 2 Apr 2015 4:24 pm

Hi Don' I like the c6 tuning with a D on top. My tuning is as follows D G E C A G E C A F
I have tried many different tunings this is best for me
Good Luck
Billy Robinson

Billy, would you mind posting your string gauges? I would think that the gauge would have an effect on how easy it would be to do a string pull.

I love the "spices" you use in that song!

Andy Volk · Post by **Andy Volk** » 4 Apr 2015 8:11 am

Terrific playing, Billy! You are an inspiration to many here. Do you have any tips for behind-the-bar pulls?

Bill Hatcher · Post by **Bill Hatcher** » 4 Apr 2015 11:22 am

thats the way to do it!

Chris Templeton · Post by **Chris Templeton** » 4 Apr 2015 5:55 pm

Billy, you may not remember me when I worked for Bobbe Seymour and you used to come in. The subject was usually about something you and Bobbe had going on with graphic design. I don't remember hearing you play and I wasn't aware of your talent.
I SURE AM NOW!

I've tried to play your clip (I'm a big fan!) but on every visit to your page my cursor turns into the "B" from your logo and can't start the player...

Chris Templeton · Post by **Chris Templeton** » 5 Apr 2015 9:15 am

It was difficult to avoid the logo, but it is doable.

Sorry about the bottom line, it reads:
Some think the Att. is what you should use

Hope this is helpful
