Played on a cheap Artisan lap steel that I converted to 8 strings. Using an extended Leavitt tuning..
Lo to hi: A C# E G Bb C D F
This was an experiment to see if I could get those cool turnaround chords using a lap steel. No bar slants needed with the Leavitt tuning...but... uses a lot of open string work.
Due to some health issues in my Autumn years, my playing skills have declined, but if anyone wants to tackle this I'll work up a tab. Let me know.
In the meantime, I think the video is useful in showing how the Leavitt tuning can be used for a lot of nice sounds.

| It sure seems like all of the chords are there. That's some cool tuning. Uncle Andy Greatrix turned me on to it, I've just never really experimented with it. |

| That was very good. I'd like to see the tab to that. Thanks, Don |
