Rig Rundown - Vince Gill & Paul Franklin 

guitarsword1 he most certainly is

Jason who?

@@sharpenflat6002 Jason Shadrick.

@@JohnFriberg Never heard of him.

Vince Gill is same way. Humble and never dominates others

All you have to do is listen to "The Bug" by Dire Straits!

Love to hear Paul & Vince play with the Time Jumpers. I didn't hear Vince mention when he had the home studio done. If it was before 2014, Dawn Sears would have had Vince replacing some his windows, they all played well together. One thing I've learned is if you're going to kid or joke around with Vince, you'd better be quick on your feet, cuz he'll fire them right back and he'll have you rollin with laughter.

NO ONE SUCKS MORE than knopfler, except clapton ... enough said ... wait - there's that fruit emmanuel too

+cpt444 You a Kirk Hammett fan aye?

You can say one of the best musicians in the world .

i prefer robert randolph's style, but no doubt both are world class.

I can't imagine that guy could out-play Robert Randolph, but I'm no pedal steel expert.

He is iconic! The modesty is great but he just adapts so well with anyone. Paul Franklin has no match. Noone has the knowledge of his instrument as we)like as he. I love his connection to past steel players

Trevor Oliver. I had to laugh, mainly at myself, as I had never heard of a steel player call Noone!! Then it came to me, just before i went to Google search!! But, you have got me completely with 'as we)like as he'. Perhaps it is a 'secret code!?! It matters not, but thought you might be amused. Seriously though, whilst we all have personal favourites, and i would would put Emmons first and Franklin a very very close second. I personally think Emmons is (was) the most knowedgable - especially his development of the C6 copedent, in around a week. that really does take some beating. Would you not agree? For me Emmons understated and smooth delivery, has not been surpassed. And Franklin's playing the break on the You Tube live recordings of Together again with Vince Gill, is truly sublime. Especially the one where Paul puts his hand on his heart, as a thank you the audience. I listen to that at least once a week, sometimes several times! I will be interested to hear your thoughts

Glad it’s not just me! Holy smoke, that’s no joke

I feel like he's reading me the Mel Bay book upside-down.

+JStreetStudio I really enjoyed Ralph Mooney's work on many Waylon Jennings records also. He had a terrific sound.

rodaho54 o come on buddy, its not that bad!!...LOL! im a steel player and have been blessed to have been coached by some of the instruments' true masters. the fundamentals are kinda difficult but once you understand about string/pick blocking, bar placement and how the pedals on your guitar work. then the rest is just basically playing by ear and messing around with it. aomw of the best and iconic intros were done by pure accident and experiment. most 6 stringers are dicks because they keep alot of their stuff to themselves and won't show nothing to nobody. steel players aren't like that for the most part. they're happy to show you exactly how they did a particular intro, lick or whatever. a great example, my favorite intro is on the vern gosdin song "set em up joe" the man who did it in the studio is jim vest. he is a wonderful human being. i had the high and middle parts down pat but the low end was kicking my ass. when i played it for him he chuckled and said i sounded great but i was missing the crucial part. without hesitation he showed me what to do and after i ran through it about 3 times i had it down! i played it at a show and people said later that it sounded just like the recording!! made me feel incredibly humble

razor75250 He said that 3 years ago......and he looks really old so.......well ill let you do the math. Sorry for your (more than likely) loss

No kidding. Makes me happy I'm a bass player

rodaho54 me too!

Glad I'm not the only one falling asleep.

Touche' that!!

Me either like playing a traditional county music gig is more fun than any rock or blues gig you'll ever play

yea they saved a few a keiths, they said after the wood dried out they strangely weighed less and seemed tighter and sounded better, nobody can explain it but they said they weren't complaining lol

@@sstroh08i actually heard about that too, very interesting, i may just have to soak one of my teles & dry it out & see what happens as an experiment. Maybe I'll sound like Vince or Keith, or maybe I'll still sound more like Will Shatner

Yeah I've heard multiple people say there flood guitars sounded better after the flood
