No it's not Frank Zappa. Came across this guy, he can play a bit :shock:

If you can play like that you can do what you want.

Milo Deering - an absolute genius!
He's either on the record or touring with Don Henley ATM. Great player - if it's got strings, he can make it sing!

Oh yes, saw this a couple of years ago, thanks for the reminder, Geoff. He must be steel guitar's best-kept secret, although really he defies categorisation. A musical polymath.

Saw Milo play live once in Arlington, Texas. Reece Anderson introduced me to him. Great player. I think I am right in saying that he did that superb steel break on LeAnn Rymes' recording of Blue.

No one should be allowed to be that good on so many instruments. Bet he's a rubbish singer :lol:

That's a nice song Ken, lovely steel as well, so he can play silky too :evil: ;)





(Please no one put up a link where he puts down an amazing vocal or I'm taking a pair of scissors to my strings!)

Another fantastic player. Take a look at his version of "Raising the Dickens" which he plays on E9 neck. I've tried many times to copy this but some of the licks he uses are out of this world. There's no effort at all in his right hand.

Reckon a sense of humour is an absolute necessity for a musician, after all we need it in order to deal with other musicians :roll: :lol:

I had a listen to Raisin' the Dickens Mick, phew! Don't think I'll bother trying to copy it, reckon I'll just stick to the slow hand tunes.

Bit before my time John, but brought a smile to my face. Great timing on their delivery.
