Speedy West #1 (From the TV Show "Country Style" 1963-64)
This is just a clip from the TV show Country Style created by
The LeGarde Twins back in 1963-64. We will be posting the full shows soon and Speedy West plays lots of Steel Rides behind a lot of the singers in those shows.
We pulled his feature performances and posted all 7 of them first to kind of wet your whistle. The LeGarde Twins released these shows to our channel and in return I want to promote their incredible book.
The LeGarde Twins "Showbiz Hustlers" it is available through
Amazon.com Their life story is a great read and makes for a perfect gift for all the country music fans out there!
We hope you subscribe to this channel and enjoy these Speedy West performances. Just click on the play list at the end of each song to watch them all... Thanks!

A real Master! Nobody has control over the pedal steel like ole Speedy! So fast on his movements, I haven't heard anyone can do that like he does!

There ain't no pedals on this here steel my friend, he was arguably the biggest of the last generation of steel before pedals took over. I play and admire both, what I don't admire is the sudden disappearance of the non-pedal instruments, and even moreso as the pedal players weren't obligated to drop it, the disappearance of all the exciting steel guitar tricks we see from Speedy here in such a short few minutes! Bouncing the slide going up the neck, tone control manipulation, use of harmonics for excitement, all that stuff. My career is as an upright bassist and I'll tell ya I exploit everything I can to be more exciting than the instrument wants to be, we lost that aspect of the steel guitar when the pedals put the showmen out of work. A damn shame; I think there's more than enough room for both

Everyone rates buddy emmons as the best as he was, but even he had nothing on speedy west and I don't think nobody ever will. Speedy is the king and Buddy is the prince.

Speedy, custom altered his steels himself.......all pedal steel players would compete to see who had the latest innovations to their instruments....same as the electric guitar players and their amplifiers..........Speedy had some awesome mods to his pedal steels.

I love EVH but Eddie (and a lot of players that came after him) don't have shit on Speedy West. Speedy was such an innovator.

Anyone know if he’s playing in c6?

@carllafong4791 3 жыл бұрын

On a double neck, he tended to use E9 and F#9; but I think he used A6, E6, and E13 on his earlier Bigsby triple neck. One of the all time characters.

@@carllafong4791 Hi Carl, interesting if true. Though I can't quite see the point in two 6 tunings. I had a little look, and it seems he modified tunings to create 9th, so giving increased voicings. The Bigsby, of course had pedals, so increasing voicings still further. As you say, what a character!!

@@carllafong4791 that makes sense for E9 tuning! My old friend Jackie Fiddler was used to playing that tuning and sat in for him once!
