Love it!
Those 7-string steels are tailor-made for A6, in my opinion.

Don't know what I'm more jealous of........the playin, the lapsteel, or the shirt? I guess, all 3!

We need more videos featuring that Ric! Your tone and that arrangement are perfect. Nice!

Always a crowd pleaser "Coconut grove", I usually play it in A6 as well.
Thanks for posting Doug.

Very nice arrangement, nice tone. Is the guitar played through an effect of some kind?

Doug Beaumier · Post by **Doug Beaumier** » 14 Aug 2022 10:32 am

Thanks for the kind replies! The only effects here are reverb (in the amp) and a small amount of delay in the recording software.

I record direct via a Quilter Tone Block 202. Also using a Sarno Black Box which is not considered an effect, but a tube filter. Also a Hilton volume pedal.

Hey Doug, super nice! Have you tabbed it out?

Doug Beaumier · Post by **Doug Beaumier** » 14 Aug 2022 2:57 pm

Yes, I have (6-string) A6 tablature for Coconut Grove in my "16 Songs" lap steel song book.

The arrangement in the book is about 95% the same as this video version, even the improv section is basically the same. That's unusual because in my YouTube videos I often play improv parts that are not in my books.
