The Steel Guitar Forum

I recently completed a composition for
Lap Steel using the C6th six string tuning.
(Low to high C-E-G-A-C-E)
This work demonstrates that a little lap steel is capable of capturing the feel of
E9th pedal steel when played with the approach I am using.
I will send the MP3 to anyone who expresses
an interest here. To those who may wish to
learn the song and this way of playing I can
provide the tab and "on Line" help which will
involve a lesson fee. I can send the material snail mail also if desired.
The MP3 is free for the asking.
This is a great way to play folks but it takes a little work and a little time.
If you wish more innformation please indicate
here in this thread and I will be glad to oblige.

I'd like to hear & see that as well, s'il vous plait. I've learned a few Hawaiian songs from your website before; they were very helpful.

Thanks,

Sounds great Roy. Please send to slackandsteel@yahoo.com

Paul and Dwayne,
I have emailed the MP3 to you both.
For those who want the "On Line" instruction
I plan to make an additional MP3 featuring
the predominent "licks" played slowly with
no backup.
Thank you for your interest.

Send it my way as well. email is bill@emerging.com

I always enjoy your efforts Roy! Please send the MP3.

I have answered all requests to date and will
mention as a follow up that my arrangement will work on E6th if you tune with these
intervals: E-G#-B-C#-E-G#. (low to high)

Thanks,

I have answered all requests with the MP3
and thank you for listening.
The Lap Guitar I use is a Gibson BR-7 and
I think it dates to the early 50's ,,,not
sure? It's on loan from my son.
In addition to the subject MP3 I am
offering an additional MP3 with the
song played super slow so all the licks can be heard clearly. The Tablature will be included also. The cost is $15.00 and I will
be happy to answer questions by email.
Thank you all for your time and interest.

Roy, if you could send your mp3 my way, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Steve

Send one my way, please!

I would love to send it to you George but
