LoL ... more like how many do you have to drink before it sounds good

I think the problem is it has 10 strings too many.

I think he is trying to start a new trend in guitar "music", with 6.4% alky in the mix.

I've heard of bottleneck slide, but this is something else...

I wonder of the second guy knows the tune "Shotgun"

Jeff Au Hoy · Post by **Jeff Au Hoy** » 11 Sep 2007 4:34 pm

Well I ain't gonna knock it... he's got a unique sound and feel that I wouldn't be able to get.

Ron Whitfield · Post by **Ron Whitfield** » 11 Sep 2007 5:50 pm

Please let that be true!

What on earth is unique about it? You can hear that any day of the year, better, and even worse.

Andy Sandoval · Post by **Andy Sandoval** » 11 Sep 2007 6:25 pm

Anybody willin to tab out that tune?

Gary Boyett · Post by **Gary Boyett** » 11 Sep 2007 6:46 pm

I think this shows some real promise,

and I promise not to ever watch it again!

But you know, it kind of sticks with you.
I can still hear it in my ears...

The last time I joked about a steel guitar here I was criticized for "ridicule".

So... I just want to say that this fine young man plays very nice. And his steel guitar is very nice. He has a unique and interesting tone... very nice indeed. It’s nice to see someone who has his own style... and such a nice style.

I applaud him for pursuing his dream, and his passion for the steel guitar. He could very well be the next Buddy Emmons or Jerry Byrd.

Well Doug..

I almost spit my teeth out laughing at your post. I DID follow your other posts in that other thread with great interest. Keep up the good work.

No one has mentioned his awesome picking technic or his amazing r/h blocking. I seem to recognize the tune but the title has slipped my mind.
Mark my words.....this guy is definitely going somewhere !

This place would really be ho-hum and dull without these unique "tunes" shared here!!

Paul Arntson · Post by **Paul Arntson** » 16 Sep 2007 7:15 pm

I think both videos are great!!

How many young folks actually build something and make cool noises with it? Too many people are content to bleep and bloop away their lives on video games and not create a thing. I especially liked how the beer bottle guy was letting it feed back at the very end of the video. That definitely had some noise rock potential.
And the rifle stock guy said it himself, pretty humble, "I just stuck a bunch of s*** together and it makes noise" or something like that.

Great stuff. I never would have thought of that.
Sure, it sounds crappy. It's not trying to sound cool. The significant this is that it is trying to SOUND.

I'm with Jeff 100% on this.Thanks for sharing these videos. Entertaining.
(You'll note I have always been too chicken to post any of my playing...)

I wish the video hadn't stopped right before the strafing began, though...

Oh yes, Keoki, I'm not 100% positive, but I think that was Sweet Leilani. You can really hear it at around the 2:00 mark.

...well, he did say he bought the amplifier for $15.
