This guy is pretty animated, and plays the song pretty darn sweet.

Who says lap steels play better when they are not beat up! Larry lets the bar roll a bit on this version of Sleep Walk.

Larry H. is a bada$$. Click on his name under his SW video and find his rendition of Hendrix' Little Wing.

Here's another chap that plays Sleepwalk pretty well on a Rondo SX 6. Starting about 9:36. It was this video that convinced me these Rondo's are OK and to go ahead and get one. Just shows what you can do with some good electronics and technique.
https://youtu.be/LpugvsBfcyQ about 9:36 for Sleepwalk.

IMO though, nothing beats the original.

Wow, thanks a million Doug, you've made a happy man feel old ?? Nope that's wrong but you know what I mean.

Jerry two observations, Sleep Walk is two words and starting a video at the required time is simplicity itself.

I have no idea what your point is concerning the video time cue...but otherwise, if your scolding and nit picking makes you feel better then bully for you.

NIT Picking, I was trying to help you, this is how to post a video starting at the required point. note the extension ?t=576 (five hundred and seventy six seconds into the video..)

A software version.

Hi forumites.

I've been working on a program I've called Steeler's Stuff for a number of years. It is written specifically for the steel guitar.

Among it's features is a tablature editor and player. Tablature can be translated across tunings and backing tracks can be attached to the tab.

This video shows it running on my laptop playing Sleepwalk in a number of tunings. It starts with the original.


https://youtu.be/RmOQBxMEgBY

It was originally tabbed in C#m7 based on BasilH's version. The backing track is one I found through the SGF some time ago.

My web site is under construction but you might find some of the features, such as the chords, interesting. The web help will give you an overview of the program.

Playing Sleep Walk with Pat Quilter at a NAMM show.
Not the best sound, with all the NAMM happening around us, but big fun to meet him & get to play with him.

Ditto on that version of Sleep Walk, Basil. And you know what? I never noticed because he makes it sound so "right", but Doug really does play in tune!

If you just can't get enough. Released in 2005, but you can easily find it "online".
