I haven't heard of that video from Doug. Where is it available? Is it a teaching video, or a playing video?

I've only been playing for 6 months, but IMHO, Paul Frankin is my favorite. He is my inspiration to practice everyday.

Bobbe- Very clever! You just named the type of steel player who is always playing, getting paid, and invited in bands.
Why? Because he fits in and makes the band sound good.
He is not the greatest country player nor is he the greatest jazz player. He is the" All Music Styles" player....al  |

My favorite, by a country mile or two is Buddy Emmons. Number 2, Buddy Charleton. Number 3, Jay Dee Maness.
Merry Christmas!

| I like all the big names. But right now I like Herby Wallace and Tommy White. It is really hard to choose. Jim A... |

| I have a few favorite steel players, like John Hughey, who played on Vince Gill's recordings, Paul Franklin, studio player who played for many of my favorite country artists like Alan Jackson and George Strait, Buddy Emnmons,the world's greatest steel guitarist, he played music by Bob Wills, Lloyd Maines, who plays on the Dixie Chicks' recordings, Tommy White(he plays in the staff band on my favorite show, the Grand Ole Opry) and Bruce Bouton, who played with Ricky Skaggs and played on Brooks & Dunn's albums in the studio.

I really liked Smiley Roberts' answer: "ME"...
It seems to me that we should each be our own favorite player, playing (or at least trying to) what we each most like to hear out of a steel guitar.
I know I feel that way on a "good night" when the stars aline and I've played my best.
which is not to say that any other picker on the planet might not have played something I would have enjoyed.
and my acknowledged INFLUENCES and faves are he usual suspects BE JD LG BCharlton etc..

I would have to start off with Jerry Bird. He's the one that got me started. But then Buddy Emmons came on the scene. So those two are side by each. Next would have to be Wayne Galey, followed by Danny Sneed. For the good Western Swing I'd have to start with Herb Remington, Reese Anderson, Bobby Kofer. I guess They are all my favorites.

I like em' all, but the two that got me hooked on steel in the first place was - Johnny Siebert (Carl Smith) and Don Hlems (Hank Williams Sr.).
