This is very cool stuff .. makes me feel like a little kid again for some reason … loved this vid .. im glad i watched .
where can i get a fretboard like that? with roman numbers, that was awesome!
nice playing dude. J
a person like me experimenting with alternate tunings has never thought of any open MINOR chords. i really like the eerie sound. thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work!
Nice!
…and accidentally kill and injure people!!! Really! Don’t be careless about safety.
If you dropped guitars on doorsteps, they would break into a million pieces.
that what the best “what if…” I’ve ever heard. it sure would be nice. imagine dropping guitars on doorsteps and not bombs.
Thanks! I’m playing some bits and bobs I’ve come up with, none of which are finished songs as yet. You got the tuning right.
Fred
Fred,
You have a very cool approach to the lap steel, and set yourself apart from so many soundalikes.
What is the song you’re playing on the 1937?
Gminor tuning (D G D G Bb D) ?
Thank you for posting this.
A wonderful history lesson (in a few minutes) and a look into some beautiful instruments. Also I love your take on arms manufacturers…I have felt the same way for years
