Delta Blues, Mekong Delta that is!
Just thought some of you might like to hear how lap steel is played in Vietnamese Delta style music?

| Very interesting, Andy. I enjoyed that! Lap steel seems like the perfect instrument for that style of music. |

Hi Joe,
A Vietnamese Guitar, called lõm Guitar is usually used for this kind of music style.
It's a style thats not for everybody, but does work perfectly well on a lap steel.
They use a very slack key open tuning.
I just love the tie...
