Doug

congratulations on the 100,000 subscriber milestone.

You personally have helped thousands of steel pickers ...young and old ...who aspire to play the steel guitar.

Like so many , your videos and your lap and pedal steel guitar courses are what got me started .


Kind regards
Mike

Congrats, Doug!

I bought my first piece of tab from you over 40 years ago - who could have imagined where this would end up?

Wow! Thank you for the kind replies. Yes, this is a lot of exposure for steel guitar. I get comments every day from all over the world, and a lot of them are from new players who have been inspired to buy a lap steel or a pedal steel after watching my videos. It's very gratifying.

Congratulations Doug! I still remember the one lick you shared(with the fingering sequence) that unlocked speed picking for me.

Take care

It's amazing what you've done for steel guitar, Doug! Just shows that if you put good music out with some heart, people will respond. Hope you have continued success.

Thanks Joe. YouTube "recommendations" have also been very helpful. If a video starts getting a lot of views, the YT algorhythm will recommend that video to viewers who may be watching other videos of guitar music, or oldies, or Hawaiian music, etc. 50% of my views come from YT recommendations, and I'm very thankful for that!

Doug:

You deserve a lot of credit for the production quality of the videos you post on your channel....picture quality, sound quality, focus, camera angles, lighting, etc. Engineering in general.

Half the stuff on youtube is unwatchable in that respect.

Not to mention your choice of songs across genres and your musicianship...with a special nod to the mighty Gibson Century 6 string!

Thanks Mitch. I have a very basic setup. I start by making a backing track: digital bass and drums, and I add live guitar tracks, and lastly I add the steel guitar. (recording in Audacity). As I play the steel guitar, I video record on my iPhone. Then I sync the audio to the video in iMovie. So there is no fancy, expensive equipment involved. Basically a computer and an iPhone.

Ditto all above accolades, Doug. Simple, yet elegant does it well, like those tools used. 😎 Congrats!
