Steve, I really dig your style. The use of open strings is awesome. Dobro players, take note. Also, Sol Hoopii would have loved it, too. And your tone and hands yield a really nice soulful vocal quality.

Great video Steve.
You are one of the few players that I can tell within a note or two that it's you
Always makes me want to pick up the guitar and give it a spin
Thanks for that

Thanks a lot guys...I really appreciate you giving it a listen.
Yeah Doug, she's in pretty good shape...overall a beautiful instrument.
The tuning is open E...E-B-E-G#-B-E.
Mike, I've always been fascinated by open strings...the way every different key gives you different static "gifts".
This particular track is in Cm, so capoing the 1st fret gives me the root, 4 and 6...and I'll take 'em all!
Jay, I think I'm slowly learning to accept (and sometime even embrace) my sound. I've always felt pulled between the Lindley/Trucks/Sacred Steel kind of style, the Morrell/Jeffries/Bob Dunn western-swing sounds, and my non-steel influences...Prince, Mike Brecker, Jan Hammer, Monk, etc...I guess I've studied them enough to let them come out when it seems appropriate, with as little thinking as possible.

Many years ago, probably mid to late 1970's, I had a pretty blue ACE like that. I also had the matching blue amplifier. As I recall, I sold the set to a guitar player that was passing through, playing in one of the clubs here.

| Very nice! It looks like no thumbpick or fingerpicks used? |

I'm OK with a pick on standard guitar and sometimes play with a flatpack on steel but I can't get anywhere near the coordination of the pick with the other fingers you achieve, Steve. You have a unique, recognizable style and that's a real gift for any musician. I love the way you use blocking versus sustained notes. The cut kinda reminds me of several '80s fusion guitar players.
That Jan Hammer synth influence with pitch wheel bending shows up in Mike Neer's playing too. It's so cool what both of you are bringing to the instrument.
