Here we have Arve F. Nilsen from Big Bull Band with a guitar tune...self penned.
What I wanted to bring you attention to however, is the steel you hear. Tore Blestrud in his home studio in Oslo playing his new ZumSteel
It's the tune called "Instrumental"
Whaddya think?

Hi Bent, That is a very beautiful instrumental.
Thanks for posting it. Leon

You're welcome, Leon. And thanks for the kind remark.
In my books Tore Blestrud is a unique player; he is a very serious student of the pedal steel and a total sound freak. He approaches every tune with the touch of a virtuoso. He is one of the most sought-after steelers in Norway.
He is also very proficient at home recording.
I hope you all bookmark his Myspace site as I think he will continue to post new exciting tunes for us to hear.
