Just found a preview clip from an upcoming instruction DVD by Al Brisco on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y14CKpmv3qU&search=al%20brisco


This clip was posted by our own Joey Ace who is playing rhythm guitar on "Ralph's Reel" - this one sounds like a winner for sure!!!

Kind Regards, Walter

Al was telling me about the little light weight amp he uses, Evans RE 200 and only has a 10" speaker,if that's it to his right,man what a sound coming from it.
Great stuff as always Al.

Last year Al did a tribute to Moon at the Dallas show, I thought it was great. Glad he's doing this. That's a good looking band in this clip, just not very loud. Thanks for posting it Joey.

Guys,

The video does not shut down. It is a streaming video that has to load before it plays w/o interrupting. Watch the bar underneath the video, it shows you the loading speed.

Click on the "Play" symbol to pause playing and let it load completely, the click on the "Play" symbol again to start the video. You also have a "Full Screen" symbol on the right, but that also works only once the video is loaded completely.

Hope that helps!

Kind Regards, Walter

I let the video download completely and then hit the "replay" button. That way you get to see it without interruption.

Works for me just fine!
Al,,,, super job!
That is one of the signature
sounds of pedal steel guitar
and you nailed it!
Joey's flat-top is right in there
with you.
I know your DVD will be very successful.
Will it have matching Tablature?

I couldn't get more than the first 10 sec to play Friday night.
Saturday morning it was fine.

This video is hosted at YouTube.com
I suspect they have problems due to volume. They host a lot of videos.

If it doesn't work try later.

I was really diggin' the clip and the playing and then it dawned on me that that may be the ultimate marketing tool for instructional courses.

I get something out of all of the teaching materials I've bought but it's nice to have something like a video clip that shows me exactly what I am going to get before I buy it... a test drive of sorts. And in this case, a direct hit. I'll buy one the second it's available.

Thanks for all the kind words, & a big Thanks to Joey Ace for instigating this project.
I hope it will help to assist & inspire steel players everywhere.
It's very humbling to realize that Ralph developed this style back in the late '50's & early '60's, first on a home-made pedal steel, & then of course on the Fender 1000.
Best wishes,
Al Brisco

Herman.
I'm not 100% sure what you're talking about, but I think I know, so I'll try to help.

First of all, you can correct your own mistakes by clicking on edit above your post. There's no need to post a separate correction, and it's easier for the readers.

Al's site is www.steelguitarcanada.com
There is no "ZumEnn" link there. I suspect you meant the "Sho-Pal" link which is halfway down, on the right.

If that's the case, the story next to the pictures gives the names of all the band members. Al is playing the Steel, which he built. It was soon replaced with the Fender 400, for obvious reasons.

Hope this helps.
