I spent the past couple of hours enjoying this interview with my morning coffee. Jeff Au Hoy chats with Jim Newberry, Mikiya Matsuda, Sebastian Muller, Nick Fryer, Bobby Ingano, Christo Ruppenthal, Joseph Zayac, and others - discussing his influences, approaches to aspects of steel guitar playing, and more. I suspect some of you might have been lucky enough to tune in while this was occurring, but I haven't seen it linked here.
I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Jeff is great. This looked like fun. I share his love of Gabby Pahinui too, certainly one of the greatest, if not most underrecorded of the Hawaiian steel greats. But Jeff has a pretty vast knowledge. Hawaiian steel has always been where my heart is.

Levi, thanks for posting this. That G11 tuning sounded pretty hip that Jeff was playing at 1.05.3 of the video.
Reminded me of a 1940's style glamorous movie sound track. I guess it's similar to B11 since Jeff started riffing on Sand with it. Jeff really has some nice tone with that old Deluxe clone amp. |

I can't remember what my kumu (Alan A) called that one, I think it was FMaj7/G9 or something like that. But its just like a B11 style tuning with another note on top. I'm a B11 guy but for some songs...specifically, and unsurprisingly, Mapuana...I would love to have a 9 string version and put a G# up there to give me the maj7. I could give up a bass string but I'm stubborn about that!

| Yes, thank you for posting and to all who participated. I would love to hang out with Jeff and especially Bobby (what a neat guy!) and just talk Hawaiian steel guitar and those players--but mostly listen. |
