Love it, Doug! Those rolling high riffs are sweet but the real star of the show is the second run through—the simple melody line you play down low with the open strings. Transitions from the bar to open strings are seamless. Beautiful playing and tone!! |

Like your style on the lap steel. Do you prefer playing lap or pedal?

I wouldn’t have guessed that Doug, very interesting. Why do you post so few pedal videos in comparison?
Great playing as usual BTW I love these country vids. Your Bouquet of Roses vid years back was a big part of what inspired me to get an old walnut Fender… |

Part of the fun for me is showing the viewers how much music can be played on a simple board with six strings. That's why I post more lap steel videos.
As far as which instrument I "prefer", it's the pedal steel. That's my main instrument, my "go to" instrument. So much can be played on it, and I've played pedal steel on all of my gigs for the past 50 years. _________________ My Site / My YouTube Channel

Loved it! And the La Paloma vid, too.
And a few others, as well. |

They used to call Jerry Byrd the master of touch and tone. I think we have found the modern day successor... I also checked out your Spanish Eyes on PSG, just as brilliant. And so in tune! Not a cent off anywhere. If I wore a hat, I'd take it off. |

Just one question, on YouTube you say it´s in C6 tuning. When I tried to play it with my C6 (with high G) I had to go down three frets, so it must be A6 then, isn´t it? The key is D maior I guess.
I like very much the low melody, that´s where I have to practise quite a bit. |
