hi all.
it's 3 years now, since I started studying lap steel.
ALOHA OE is the song that inspired me to play polynesian music. Started with the ukulele aprox 12 yrs ago, and lap steel later.
I've been guided only by Jerry Byrd's course, which i studied twice, then moved to some of his tabs. This is one of those tabs.
Hope you enjoy
I'm still struggling with volume pedal, so decided not to use this time. Hope i can use it in the future.

Beautiful rendition. Very smooth with lovely subtle vibrato.

Kirk, you had me cornfoosed for a moment so I Googled "chicken skin music" as I hadn't heard that term before. So, for anyone else who may have been cornfoosed like myself here is the definition:
"For the uninformed, "chicken skin" is the Hawaiian equivalent of "goose bumps". In other words, this is the kind of music that is meant to send chills down your spine, whether it's the blues, folk, tejano, or Hawaiian music. "

Very nice Francisco. Don't worry about the volume pedal for now, that's not as important as developing your style of playing. keep it up.

Thanks a lot for watching the video, and for the kind words.
In spanish you say;
Pelos de punta, or
Piel de gallina
Both mean the same, goose bumps, so I understood.
I'm gonna keep studying, hope next video has volumen pedal....

Very vice Francisco!
You also did a good job with those slants.
Was that a C6 tuning?
Whatever tuning you used it went really well with your rendition.
Keep on playing and enjoy that fine instrument!
Best regards,
Gary |

I'm with Jim. Do not use a volume control foot pedal but develop your personal style without accessories.
I would say an important point now is to develop a smooth oscillation of the bar. You can experiment with fast oscillation of the bar to slower wider oscillation of the bar. And then anything in between until you get the sound that you prefer.
When beginning I tried to effect a smooth oscillation to create a sound resonant with the Hawaiian touch.
Keep on picking. It takes a lot of practice on this instrument. |

Hi all.
Thanks again for your time to watch and comment.
Next homework, smooth oscillation.
Next next. Work on volumen pedal
Gary, it's C6 + C# Last string.
I asked in another post about This tunning, cause first i was studying C6, then in the tabs appeared a c# in lowest string, which kind of confused me at first. Now i understand its A7 lower strings, C6 upper strings.
I love studying música. |

Thanks Francisco!
I am going to look into the tuning with the A7 added.
Keep on playing and sharing!
