LAP STEEL RIGHT HAND TECHNIQUE

Post by Roy Thomson »

After a few days of trial and error I was finally
able to fugure how to get signed up to YouTube and
put a little clip on there. I just used a digital
camera which allows you about 30 seconds of video.
My son gave me a LifeCam VX-1000 for Christmas and
perhaps I will do more in 2008 :?:
This little clip may help some with right hand
technique blocking/muting.

Everyone I have taught initially has trouble with
blocking/muting. It is up down ....no side movement.
It is so important to a pro sound.
I plan to do some clips of the left hand also
for Lap Steel and then coordinate the two hands.
Happy New Year to all.

Thanks for that clip of blocking. As a newbie, it's been hard to get the blocking down.( Still working on basics). More time now since the holidays are past. You just keep sending what we need and it's appreciated so much......................CR
