The mighty Gibson strikes again!!

That's right up there with the version of Ghost Riders you did with that guitar a few years back. I like this version better than the Fender version of Sleep Walk that you did earlier.

Nice in A6th also

Post by Andy DePaule »

Nice Doug,
Works well in A6th also where I taught it to myself.
Was working in your C6th version yesterday. Nice!

Really amazing that a couple of guys, so young at the time could come up with what has turned out to be the most popular steel guitar tune ever. :D
It really is a good tune that sticks in the brain.

Now on to Tear Drop. :roll: :lol:

Thanks for the kind comments. I've been wanting to do this video for a long time. I'm glad you like it.

I just did a remix of the audio... brought the backing instruments up a little. I uploaded the new video and deleted the first one. So I lost all of the comments on the first one, unfortunately. The last time I did that I got a nasty message from a viewer who thought I had deleted his comment! 8)
