Completely blown away

Post by Nathan Laudenbach »

I just stumbled on a Youtube video of Steve Cunningham playing "Scrapple from the Apple" on eight string lap steel................................. Never have I seen and heard such amazing playing. If anyone here can post the video here in this thread I would greatly appreciate it. WARNING! You may give up the steel guitar after watching this video.

Steve is one of our local players and is an absolute monster on lap steel and guitar.

He has several videos up on YouTube. It is worth your while to look at all of them
AUTHORIZED George L's, Goodrich, Telonics and Peavey Dealer: I have 2 steels and several amps. My current rig of choice is 1993 Emmons LeGrande w/ 108 pups (Jack Strayhorn built for me), Goodrich OMNI Volume Pedal, George L's cables, Goodrich Baby Bloomer and Peavey Nashville 112. Can't get much sweeter.

No fingerpicks! Guess I don't need to learn to play with them after all.
Keep on truckin'

Looks like he uses a flat pick. Great playing and tone.

One of his videos is a C6 lesson showing a nice versatile blues/western swing lick.
