Hey guys! Here's my first video of 2016 which introduces my new Show Pro steel guitar. Me and my dad thought it would be nice to play some father and son steel guitar both in the literal world and the steel world.
Here's us playing Take These Chains From My Heart, I hope you enjoy! Also there is a quick showcase introduction video I made for the Show Pro and Sho-Bud.

Thanks!

Stephen- Keep after it! Sounds good,
All the different shots of the Show-Pro reminds me of when I made a bunch of practice boards to sell at Scotty's. They didn't all sell, so a gave one to Buddy E.
Fast forward to when I was at E's house and I saw the practice board with a big square hole he had cut in the board, in front of the bridge. Probably 5"x5". The area around the hole was painted black on the bottom. He wouldn't tell me what it was all about. Finally, after I bugged him for a while, he told me that it was for shooting video of the right hand from underneath!
What a guy!

Thanks Chris!
Wow that is a great story. Meeting The Big E must have been one thing but having your practice board used by him, wow that must have been incredible!

Looking back, because I was playing a Dekley at the time, I went with their string spacing, which is narrower than most steels. If I was to do it over again, I would have gone with a wider string spacing.
Bar slants are also easier.

That's great Chris! I learned the step up in string spacing when I jumped from the Carter Starter to the Sho Bud, so much easier and with it being easier I'm glad I started on a narrower model.
