Here's a YouTube link of a band I play with called the Bad Popes. The guitar I'm playing is a Fender Stratocaster with a Loni Specter " Redneck " that me and my machinist neighbor installed. The sound is quite a bit different that a normal lap steel.

| I like the sound you're getting and very nice playing as well. Are you playing it through your regular steel amp? |

Thanks for listening Dave, I'm pretty sure I was playing thru an old Peavey LTD 400.

Mike, I enjoyed that tune and your playing was very nice. The dude playing the acoustic/electric needs to turn down a bunch though but he's probably the bandleader, right? Anyway, I enjoyed it and thanks for posting the clip....JH in Va.

Very nice playing. Loved the harmony duet between you and the guitar player. The square neck Strat sounds great. But, it seems to me there needs to be a little more contrast between the tones of the steel and the guitar player.
I thought the rhythm guitar was okay. I like a strong acoustic rhythm guitar on a song like that. |
