So I've been asked to play lap steel on a friend's country waltz. I'm looking to get in the right frame of mind before I start tracking. So, if you have a favorite waltz that has lap steel on it. Please drop me a link!

I had just gotten my first resonator when I recorded this. Three quite old Hawaiian waltzes in a medley that my teacher had me working on. Rusty in spots for sure (I probably need to pull the chart out and work on it again, its been a while!)

Check out JB's Old Timey Waltz from his instructional video on YouTube. I think it's in E7 tuning.

| Thanks ya'll. That's at least got me off to a start. I also found an old thread with a list of "must practice" songs that I'm picking through. |

The above link is another idea for a song. Don't hear it very much today. I liked it so made it a steel solo. HNK wILLIAMS WROTE it and never recorded it. It was found after he had passed.

| “When two worlds collide†is a very good waltz for steel. I use a modified B flat 13th tuning. I have no link for you but I really enjoy polishing it up from time to time With a tasty Occasional bar slant, Etc. Great Roger Miller tune. |

the PA'AU'AU WALTZ is an hawaiian classic, fraught with ritardandi and grace--
check out tony ku's version on his 1979 "original hawaiian steel guitar" album, or jerry byrds version on "hawaiian style guitars".

My teacher happened to assign me another waltz at our lesson this week. Wehiwehi 'Oe. One version, by Barney Isaacs and George Kuo, here:
https://www.amazon.com/Wehiwehi-Oe/dp/B083GB1CV6
Those outro chords, something special!
