Nightlife?

I searched and thought I would find several non-pedal postings about the song "Nightlife". Are there any postings or did I search in the wrong section.

Which "Nightlife" are you referring to?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightlife_(disambiguation)

Nightlife (Erase Errata album), or the title song
Night Life (Jimi Hendrix album), or the title song
Nightlife (Karl Wolf album), or the title song
Night Life (Outsidaz album), or the title song
Nightlife (Pet Shop Boys album)
Nightlife (Thin Lizzy album), or the title song
Nightlife, a song by John Foxx from The Pleasures of Electricity
Night Life, an album by Lil' Fizz
Night Life, an album by Ray Price, or the title song
Night Life, a song by Zion I from Chapter 4
Nightlife (quartet), an American barbershop group

If it's the Ray Price song as performed by Buddy Emmons on pedal steel, you're probably looking in the wrong spot. If it's some other song, please provide more information.

I have a lesson for Night Life in the
Willie Nelson/Ray Price style which
I play on 10 string Leavitt non pedal.

It's been a while, but I put a video on YouTube featuring "Nightlife" played on an 8 string lapsteel with an expanded Leavitt tuning.

The nice folks at the sanitarium are letting me practice now so I may be posting more tunes in the near future.

Nice to see you back Therman!

What is your 8 string set-up
...if you please.

Hi Roy,

Thanks for asking...I used the standard Leavitt tuning with an added low A string and a high F string giving me from low to high - A C# E G Bb C D F.

Lately, I've been practicing on an old 6 string acoustic guitar with the nut raised. Still inspires me to see what is available with the original Leavitt tuning. Many thanks to you, Mike Ihde, and Bill Hatcher for showing the way....

Interesting Therman.

I leave the first 6 strings the basic
tuning from D down to C# then add A for
string 7 and G for string 8.

I, as you, like working with the six
string original tuning. Great fun!

I hope you share more of your playing
in the future and wish you all the best.

Roy
