Speedy was able to look up from his instrument and connect with the audience. Most steel guitar players don't.

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!
@garysloan979310 ай бұрын
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

Likely his influence was more indirect and subtle as an innovator and experimentalist in a still primitive era. Of course his direct connection with Leo Fender as in house test pilot made him invaluable with the development of a lot of the gear the 60s and 70s guitar gods utilized to reach the top of the mountain. Speedy and several other unsung heroes built that mountain. Swing that thang, Speedy!

They'd still be influenced by Jimmy Bryant, Charlie Christian, Chuck Berry, etc..... They're literally two different instruments. Sorry, aside from possibly Jeff Beck, I don't think Speedy had any great influence on those players.

I'm sure they'd be just fine, considering there are plenty of guitar heroes from the same time who they likely looked up to more so than Speedy. Love Speedy West, but I really don't think he had a lot of influence or a large effect on any of those guitarists. All of those guys come out of the blues...
