Great listen! Thanks Matt. Especially love the stories with Joaquin Murphy. So cool.

I'm pretty comfortable with palm blocking. Andy Volk explains it well in his lap steel instructional book. Lots of good stuff in Andy's book.

Looks like right in the middle on mine.

So good!

Lots of 7th (dominant) chords by using slants (forward) and reverse) and split slants!

Remember, slants are fun!

JD,
While that may be true of the bakelite single necks, the DW16 (solid wood body with two 8-string necks) has a nice wide string spacing. 3/8" at the bridge, I believe.[/quote]

I currently have a DW-16 and a D8 Stringmaster. Love them both. At one point I might have sold the Stringmaster, but I then joined a Hank Williams tribute band, and playing up the neck is easier witho ...

There's a great steel player here in Toronto that uses 3 fingers. Andrew Frost. He's on this forum.

Hi Ken - I often use that exact 8 string G tuning. I like it a lot. Maybe down the road you’ll get interested in C6, but a lot can be done with the dobro G tuning!

Loved it! Thanks for doing the podcast. I've attended a Reso Summit. Rob Ickes is a generous guy. It's a great time.

I’ve been listening and playing lots of dobro music lately.

My current favourite is Bill Woods album with Burke Carroll on Dobro called “Buds”. It’s full of great dobro.

Looking forward to this!

I was at Folkway Music in Kitchener Ontario today. They had one. I didn’t ask about it, and it’s not on their site. But you could ask. It’s a great store.

I got a set made here. They are great!

I have something similar. Very old . All there though . I am in London On. Jerry

Hi Jerry - Sounds good. I just sent you a DM.

Anyone have an old lap steel stand they'd like to get rid of? One like in the photo.
Thanks!

Amazing! I managed to find the Isaac’s/Pang in Apple Music. Love it.

Thanks Nic and Jim!

Ha - just found this thread. But still looking for versions of the song.

I've searched, but can't find any recordings of this song - Lost Paradise (Hana). Anyone know who made it popular? Or can recommend a steel guitar version? I suppose an early version.
Thanks!

Nice! I’m curious to hear what sounds like. Post us a clip!

Anyone have a favourite reverb pedal for playing resonator? I’m using a small Traynor amp. It acts more like a monitor. Thinking I’d like to add a tad of reverb.
