Ok, after scouring the net I've finally found some video footage of Jimmy Bryant in action.

You have to remember this is really old stuff so the quality isn't that good.

The first one is a very quick shot of him playing with Tennessee Ernie Ford, so try not too blink or you'll miss it!

The second clip shows him with Speedy West on pedal steel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzt1iA2D_Kg

Again, the video is bad quality, but too me it kind of adds to it, makes one appreciate that there were seriously good guitarists about even back then, that many of todays players couldn't come close too.


Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West

Yes great stuff again jay... that´s really cool how Bryant gives of to the pedal steel player in Kissing Bug Boogie.
Also the other song though as you said bad in quality i don´t care about that fact, but you still hear the precision of the solo work, awesome!!! If you listen to their lines you can hear that they think more in melody as on scales.
These guitarist are out standing every player should appriciate their style playing.

thanks jay for allways bringing up these wonderful tunes as i said befor your taste is great.

This is one of the wonders of the internet, without it I doubt
I'd ever have found it.

On a side note, I'm not sure if you've looked at the pictures I uploaded of Jimmy, but he is obviously well admired, as he he has a Fender signature Telecaster out, over 20 years after this death. If there's anybody deserving of such an honour, I think Jimmy is it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yeah that indeed is a great thing about the information you get online. Yes i saw the Telecaster but didn´t know about the signature model of him truly his honour. I didn´t even know his name before you came up with him.

I Think it boils down too, there's a stigma attached to Country music, people just see cowboys & imagine Kenny Rogers etc.

But as you see, if these guys were about & playing today, they'd be well up there among the Stevie Rays, The Satriani's etc & regarded as true greats, even amongst the younger players.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes i agree in your saying, i know some guy who is into modern hard rock and one day we sat together with some people listen them stuff and then we wanted to hear some Deep Purple & Black Sabbath. So his opinion on them was that it´s old rubbish not worth listening and they can´t play as good as modern group, what a close minded guy i thought well i never meet up again with him after, what a bum.
