| Yeah Derrick! You play old school, Hawaiian style, and never too much. Can tell you're a Hawaiian player because you know the vocals and you play in the pockets. Beautiful. |

Folks,
I do not believe that is Derrick Mau on steel, but rather it is David "Feet" Rogers. 
Nice job, Derrick.
Aloha no,
 Don |

Thanks everyone for the kind compliments. Bill, I'm actually plugged directed to the P.A. system on this recording.
Remember this recording session? Brings back a lot of memories. It was fun.

Really nice Derrick. My favorite kind of lap steel playing!
Nothing beats the Rogers style for me, and I love the simple hula form, songs like "Puamana". |

Derrick -- I love those. Thank you for posting. You have a great touch, and a very nice tone in your hands (the guitar tone ain't bad, either!)
I really enjoyed that jam session recording of Wai O Minnehaha, too. You really get that Iona sound. When you do that gliss at around the 1:58 mark in the faster section, you NAIL it. The tone is just as sweet as pie, and the playing equally great.
What is the amp you're using in the jam session recording?

Posted 4 Apr 2007 12:23 pm So much for "Fancy Amps !!"
|
|
| I see that Derrick said he just was plugged into the P.A. system !! So much for those fancy and heavy amps we lug around !! If he gets that kind of tone thru the P.A. maybe we should all do that and save our strength for more important things ?? IMHO !! Eddie "C" ( the old geezer ) |

Todd,
This was recorded by Bill Creller using his 50's National amp. Bobby Ingano is on the steel this time with me on the archtop guitar. (Oct. 2004)
The recording was all for fun, so we didn't really take anything serious. I came up with the arrangement of "Home on the Range" before we took off to a faster pace. It fit right in perfectly. I forgot what steel Bobby was using for this as we had a whole bunch of steels that we were using that night. Maybe Bill can chime in if he remembers? |

Bobby was playing my National New Yorker
at "Bills Analog Studio". which was a Radio Shack recorder hanging in front of my amp on rubber bands, really hi-tech!! |

Posted 4 Apr 2007 3:57 pm it's easy to strum across a 6th chord tuning but...
|
|
Re: Minehaha, I think it's neat that although Bobby's playing the C6 tuning, he approaches it such that the tuning is sort of veiled... it really sounds like a hybrid of the old E7 and C#m tunings.
I notice this concept was employed even 50 years back by players like Jules Ah See. Even though his primary tuning was C6 (C13), oft times when he played melodies in the "old style" (e.g., "Aloha 'Oe" or "The King's Serenade") he'd mask the 6th tuning using simple 2 note harmonies and basic major chords... NO 6th chord strums. Or he'd just play it on another neck with the old Emaj voicing (tuning the second string of his E13 from C# down to B). |
