| Trying to streamline the learning process here - can anyone suggest recordings featuring good, melodic lap steel work, where the tuning is known (or your pretty sure) to be either open G or open D/E? Thanks folks - last time I asked one like this y'all 'knocked it out of the park'(Boy do I miss baseball, as well as a lot of good, creative work on steel, living in Ireland)! |

OPEN D
Kelly Joe Phelps: Roll Away The Stone
Harry Manx: Wise and Otherwise, West Easts Meet
Ed Gerhard: House of Guitars
David Lindley, El Rayo-Ex
OPEN G
Bob Brozman, Four Hands Hot & Sweet
Mike Auldridge, Dobro
Jerry Douglas, Restless on the Farm, Lookout For Hope
And that's just the tiny tip of the iceberg! |

If you want to know about E as well as D, you should also listen to A as well as G. Bluegrass players only tuned down a step from A because of the Bluegrass tendency to play on G.
Bob Dunn with Milton Brown and "Bashful" Brother Oswald with Roy Acuff are good places to go. |
