Non-pedal- When You Wish Upon a Star

I put this little video together to demo a new home-built lap steel, as referenced in this thread over in the non pedal section. It's a fairly large file, not a YouTube, so it may be a little slow to load if you have a slower connection.

I might put it up on YouTube, but the audio quality always seems to suffer.

Excellent playing, Jerry! And the new guitar sure sounds great.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

You are such a talented guy Jerry! Thanks for that! Your playing is fantastic, and on such a nice instrument that you made yourself!!!

I hear the low C on there, but what are the other strings?

Thanks, guys, for all the kind words! Rick, the tuning is the C13th tuning that I use for a lot of the Hawaiian stuff. Low to high- C, Bb,C, E, G, A, C, E. It might as well have been straight C6 for this song, I don't think I even used that seventh string.

Very nice! Everyone at our house enjoyed listening to this this afternoon. Thanks for putting it up, Jerry.
