New Video - Spanish Eyes - E9 pedal steel @@

[Doug Beaumier]

Here's a simple melody that I always thought would make a good steel guitar instrumental. The hardest part of this song is holding back and Not putting in a bunch of licks in all those open spaces with long, sustained notes. It takes a lot of self-control. Thanks for watching.

Listening to it now, I can hear Al Martino

[Ronald Korza]

Nicely done Doug
I see you busted out the old Emmons for that. Great tone as always
Happy Holidays
Bud

[Doug Beaumier]

Will, yes, Al Martino had a big hit with this one. A lot of other singers have recorded it as well.

[Doug Beaumier]

Hi Bud, yes... I broke out the old Emmons for this one! Old habits are hard to break.

[Bob Shilling]

You nailed it, as usual.

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Doug Beaumier]

Thanks Bob, have a nice Thanksgiving.

[Andrew Roblin]

Beautiful!

Amazing taste and tone.

[Larry Jamieson]

Very nice, Doug. Well played. Often, less is more...

[Doug Beaumier]

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

[Samuel Phillippe]

Well from one novice to another, good job.
Seroiusly, I really liked your arrangement and the simplicity in the playing.

I have played this song on many different guitars over the years, guess it's time to learn it on the psg.

Very nice Doug.

Sam

[Doug Beaumier]

It's a pretty simple arrangement. Pedals A, B, C. Levers E to F, and E to D#.

[Larry Dering]

Perfect playing with just the right amount of notes. Excellent job Doug.

[Doug Beaumier]

Thanks Larry!

[Joe Krumel]

Nice one Doug. Great melody. How were you doing the harmonics on the ending? Wish mine were that clear. Oh well back to the woodshed.

[Doug Beaumier]

I use the edge of my right hand for harmonics.
