new lap steel

Tom Monaghan · From: Massachusetts, USA

I just got my first lap steel delivered. it is a Ouhu tonemaster. How do I decide what strings and what tuning to use to learn?

What kind of music do you like and what style(s) would you like to play?

You can order strings right here on the forum. Thanks for the reminder. Need a few sets myself.

You'll probably want to try C6 tuning because there's a lot of C6 tablature available. Good way to get started.

Check the string chart under Lap Steel sets. You may want the E major, in that case.
