I decided to enter Guitar Player magazine's "2010 Superstar Competition" - yes, things are that slow! Wink I'm switching between guitar and lap steel throughout the video, which may be grounds for instant disqualification in the shred community. Lemme know what you think.

Thanks.

Dang, Steve, that smoked! I hope you win and music stores have waiting lists for lap steels. Great job.

Whoa, mama! Steve, that was awesome. Just for exposing the GP audience to rock steel, it's a big win.

Quote from the video
Quote:
"Two Notes" was a lot of fun to record. It was definitely challenging switching between the Tele and lap steel(tuned to open E), but it was a good exercise in phrase resolution/tap dancing.
I live in Atlanta, GA, by the way. GO BRAVES!


Do you have "Specsavers" in the USA ?

Steve,

Your piece really shakes things up...literally!

You're already the winner IMO, just for the fact that you're exposing new players to steel.

Keep up the great work!

Josh
