Teach your Children cover. Tele pedal steel licks. Garcia

Holey cow that's so rad nice work

Excellent, Wow! There are a number of you "Telecaster maniacs" running around out there, but you are on to something special here. Keep on keepin' on, Matt!

Dang that’s 👍

All that I can say is wow great. love the song love the sound

B-Bender ?

What kind of rig set up are u using really like it like to know

Wow, really nice!

Wow, you make that tele sound like a pedal steel. I totally love it.

Jerry Miller of the Remington Riders often uses a tele to play pedal steel parts. His main guitar is a Gibson L5 named Beulah. We always kid when he plays the tele, thinking that Beulah gets jealous.

WOW

Great achievement; I never heard such a brilliant pedal steel guitar imitation on a guitar.
Big Kudos and Thanks for sharing

I got an ad: "So, ya wanna play like Metallica?"
Ummm no, no I don't. Lol.

how the heck do you do that without a b bender?

Good gosh, man!! 😲

Awsome volume pedal work for a guitar player....do you play steel also? Kidding. Fabulous job!

Brilliant!

Dang. I play a Tele with 9s and just watching you makes my fingers hurt. Fantastic work!

Very cool

Really impressed you were able to get that sound without a b/g bender. Bravo!

Like for nailing that harmonic

Jerry would have been impressed. Here's Graham Nash's recollection of how it happened: "After tracking the vocals, it came time to lay down a guitar solo. “That’s when Stephen said, ‘Neil and I have played a million bloody solos. Let’s think of something different,’” Nash recalls. “And Crosby said, ‘Jerry Garcia’s in the next studio with the Dead.’ I had heard that Jerry had been playing pedal steel for a couple of weeks, so I said, ‘Pedal steel sounds like a great idea.’” Crosby went next door and played the track to Garcia, to which he said, “Let me at it! I can’t wait.” Garcia brought his pedal steel into the studio where CSN&Y were working, and after one pass at a solo, an ebullient Nash said, “Jerry, that’s fantastic!” Garcia admitted that he’d fluffed a couple of notes and asked to give it another go, to which Nash said, “Sure you can, but we’re not going to use it. The first one was perfect.” Garcia did another pass, and, sure enough, Nash told him he was sticking with the first take. “Jerry laughed and agreed with my decision. There was something so pure about how he played it the first time. It was obvious.”
The funny part is in Neil Young's biography Waging Heavy Peace he says that Jerry came in with a "regular" guitar and a slide, put it on his lap in the control room and put the part down. I read this on The Steel Guitar Forum. And everybody is commenting that it's impossible to get that sound on a regular guitar. Matt you should go on there and include a link to this. You'll blow everyone's mind in that forum!

I've hardly played in 30 years, but damn - I want to learn this! It gives me chills, each time I hear it. I played country rock in 69 and 70, and used a metal fingerpick on my middle finger to play and bend two strings, independently. But am I good enough to learn this???

ESPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!

This is amazing! I was just looking for a cheater of this song on lap steel and came across this vid. This is exactly what I needed since my lap steel has no benders! You’re the man!

This is amazing. I can’t believe this is a “regular” six string.

Nothing short of amazing

Wonderfull !!! I incredible ! What a nice sound and performance. :)

me hiciste llorar de emocion impresionante excelente hermoso

very well done

So good!

Excellent, excellent job, my friend. Love doing pedal steel stuff on a good ol Telecaster for sure! Looks like you've got some nice guitars back there. Is that a Jerry Garcia Wolf-style guitar back there beside your black guard tele? I'd love to hear that thing!

Impressive.

This is beautiful man!💀✌️

Seamlesly woven silk

Micidiale

Amazing this tele could sing bso beautifully

Wow😲. Would you share a instructional video?

Hello MATT, You are an incredible guitarist and your imitation of the pedal steel is incredible. Lost in my France, I am a fan of country music and I post certain videos on my channel. I would like to study your technique and for that can you tell me all the effects you use.
Thanks and bravo once again

We were friends on F/B for a long time until someone stold my facebook. I lost all my friends of F/B, however, I don't really miss F/B anymore. Now I know where to find some of my friends. Good to hear you play again.

Wonderful ❤🙏

totally, outrageously OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant

Great work

is he using a B bender?

Wow! Really well done.

Absolutely inspirational top level playing! The last time I heard anything like that, it was Phil Emmanuel at a workshop in Brisbane decades ago.

He must have a compressor pedal or something to keep the notes not to fade out only when he want to

excellent -- brought a smile to my face & sweet sounds to my ears!

can you teach that in a lesson?

How do you do that?
