The audio is on my blog, and there is a link to a pdf of the tablature.

---> http://playsteelguitar.com/c6-lap-steel-guitar-speedpicking/

This is a speedpicking & pick blocking solo for 6-string C6 lap steel that I posted here in 2007. The tablature is for 6-string, but it will also work on most 8-string C6 tunings, the middle 6 strings or the upper 6 strings. Have fun with it!

Doug:

Thanks so much. I wasn't aware of this one and look forward to working with it. Your instructional materials are exceedingly valuable. So how about 3 or 4 new C6th song books for 2014? More blues? I'm ready to send you money when anything new is available. Each lesson you do is most valuable.

James

Thanks James, much appreciated. I'm working on some new stuff now, but it will be a few months before it's completed.

Great stuff Doug. This is an excellent tutorial to complement the YouTube video you put out last year about pick-blocking.

Your tone and articulation are outstanding. Really top notch! I'm most a dobro player but you've got me thinking about taking up the lap steel! Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the kind replies. This is a style that's played more on pedal steel than non-pedal (dare I use that term!). It is possible to play speed stuff without pedals, although the licks and patterns are more limited without pedals. Thanks again, I'm glad you like it.

Awesome, Doug! I shared this to the Lapsteel Lunatics FB group where much appreciation is underway. Your pick blocking is so clean!

Doug, the speed is masterful, but I am unable to identify the blocked notes. How do you do that, and where?
