Just a few lines to say Hello and introduce myself.
My name is Paolo, I play the steel guitar in 3 bands here in France, playing (or trying to play) Hawaiian music, swing and bluegrass. I used to play mostly on a acoustic lap steel tuned in G (here is a video where I play my old National with a Parisian band, the RBO:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vBMdUrO3-M&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7vBMdUrO3-M&nomobile=1 but I have discovered the C6 tuning thanks to this forum, and I am really interested in learning it!
I have been visiting the Steel Guitar forum for a few years and I would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to all the members and the administrators, cause I discovered a lot of great musicians (Kayton Roberts to name the latest) and learnt some really good things about the instrument here.
I hope to make a contribution to the forum in the future even if I have more to learn than to bring.
Vive la musique!
Paolo.
P.S: sorry for my mistakes in English. |

Great video and playing on your part.
As for your English, it's better than many English speakers. No worries there.

No idea how my inadvertent multi-post happened as I submitted just once. Sorry about that, though. Hope this doesn't do the same.

Hi Tom!
I have a Fender studio deluxe from 56 I think and I use a AER amp for it (it's a shame I know...)
I only played with G tuning, I just started to learn C6 a few months ago, and there is a lot of work! C#m is a good one too?
Aloha. |
