Thanks for sharing, Andy. The video section is outstanding. Some gorgeous Weissenborn styles. I notice he uses Death Valley strings. Do you have any experience with that brand?

Thank you for the very generous gift, Mike... and for always celebrating Monk.
Looking forward to your webinar in November to learn more about your mechanics and scales.

All of Steve’s three seasons, and counting, podcasts are amazing. Required listening for anyone with an interest in the movers and shakers who have defined much of the blues, jazz, rock, country landscape here and beyond .

She plays one of his resonator guitars ( it was recently featured in Acoustic Guitar magazine.) On the tour, Ben played a ukulele, resona...

The tab is located on his main site under “Single Tabs without videos.” It is for purchase. He also has a few Paddy Burgin originals that are not listed. You can message him if you are interested. The Burgin tunes are mostly open D or G tunings. All are on YouTube.

www.daddystovepipe.com has a tab for Old Plantation and Ku’u Pua in C6 tuning. He has also posted these Hawaiian melodies on YouTube playing a Daniel Brauchli lap slide guitar.

Many thanks for sharing this, Andy. The liner notes say that this was the first pure acoustic recording of steel and slack key guitars. Wonderful duets of many Hawaiian standards.

These are so cool. The sustain is incredible. Will they be available for purchase?

Andy Volk (volkmedia.com) has an excellent book “Exploring C6th Lap Steel.” It is a comprehensive look at C6th tuning with chords, scales, riffs, techniques and more. A great tool box.

On January 7, 2004, Jesse Pearson posted a C6 tab for Steel Guitar Rag on the old Steel Guitar Forum. (That Forum is now closed.) You should be able to find with a search.

Cindy Cashdollar has an excellent 2 DVD set at homespun.com that should help get you started: “Learn To Play Western Swing Guitar””
