Came across this CD of a Vietnamese Steel player. Anyone heard of him before?
Steel guitar is taking leaps and bounds to countries you'd never think would know anything about it.   |

Oddly enough, I taught an Vietnamese lady the steel guitar basics in Summer of '05. She told me, to my disbelief!, that steel guitar was a big instument in their version of 'lounge' music.She was a sweet lady with a good ear. She was so respectful of me being the teacher. She brought me a plate of Vietnamese spring rolls on her last lesson. Deeeelicious! |

...clean web site, clean shirt, clean guitar, and clean playing. Bring the height of the guitar to waist height, for the standing position, and I'd give him the Mr. Clean seal of approval.  |

If I could only read what it says,

To me it sounds alot like James Chu's style of playing.Almost the same back up music. I kind of like it becuse it so simple to pick up and play along with.
Larry thanks for the post ,Herman |

His vibrato is very odd, reminds me a bit of their cultural instrumentation, with a bit of a warble to it. Very cool, and unexpected. |

It doesn't even sound like the same guy playing the psg solo in Mercy Mercy Mercy as the non-pedal stuff, and sounds like has two pickups on his steel.[This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 02 July 2006 at 10:56 AM.] |

Mr.Dat plays very well and has an interesting Asian tone and technique. I just can't get over someone releasing an album with those canned karaoke backing tracks. It's OK for one listening, but that's about it. |
