Practicing blues on Leavit tuning

Post by Don McClellan »

This is me practicing on a homemade 8 string lap steel with a little gritty gain on the small Fender amp I'm using. I picked the best of what I did and edited it using iMovie to do the whole thing. Fun toys! Thanks for watching. Don

Very nice Don. I guess you won't have to eat your durian fruit! :0)

Eating it is fine, Chris. Smelling it, not so much!

Don-I went to Thailand briefly, but I experienced durian fruit in Malaysia, where I played steel for Mathew Tan,. I remember, one night breaking about 6 .11 or .12 gauge strings in a row. That was a nightmare! Chris
