"Runaway" on the Lap Steel

Post by Chuck S. Lettes »

Here's an arrangement of Runaway, featuring Lynne Popkowski on vocals, my lap steel, and the Horns of Plenty.

Thanks for the great stuff, Chuck. That version of Runaway was, as Chris mentioned, one humorous version and very unusually done.

What tuning are you using there?

Kudos.

Hi Guys,
I'm glad you liked my version of Runaway. I'm always looking for some different ways to create arrangements for standards. Steve, I'm using my modified six string C6th tuning on the lap steel-(High)G,E,C,A,G,F(Low)
