I really like it, Doug. Very simple and achingly melodic, and with a lot of expression. I like the tremolo effect on the signal, too.

I have a real affinity for the bass strings, and that is why I love the D10 so. It would be hard for me to go back to 6 strings, unless it was a straight E or D tuning. I really live down on the bottom end, which is the opposite of most players, I guess.
But I really like what you do on the top strings. I think the lack of bass and slight break up is really the key to sounding like a 50s recording, which is much desired. It keeps it lap steel instead of pedal sounding.

Nice sounding tracks, mostly chord changes in different styles. I notice that a lot of them have lead instruments playing though.
Peter, I'm sure you recognize the room I'm playing in! It's the basement of Downtown Sounds, and I made this recording shortly after you finished your lap steel lesson. It's not the best recording environment, but I had the gear set up and I was practicing, so I decided to record something with the iPod. Keep playing, you're doing a great job!

Nice Doug!
Like the way you set up your video so you can see the action and the bar slants. Nice style of music, gypsy jazz. |

| Every time I see Doug he's playing another Steel he picked up at a yard sale somewhere for 100 dollars, this is the case in some of the videos we see of him on this site, he could make a Toaster with a string hanging off it sound good! |

| I really like it, great job! I was recently listening to a cd compilation of 1930's Parisian jazz featuring the steel. Good stuff! |

Very nice, Doug. Considering the great tradition of Gypsy violin music, the steel guitar seems totally appropriate.

| Doug, do you know what tune these chord changes actually belong to? Not quite Minor Swing... Just curious! |
