Great stuff. I love those synchopations around 1:55. Seven string bakelite Ric, what a beautiful guitar.

| almost has a bari guitar sound to it. The tremelo is dialed in perfect. Nice mixing and recording too. Most people don't get to that level. |

Thanks Chris, The low string (7) is tuned to low E, the same note as a standard guitar. But as you said, it sounds almost baritone on this lap steel.
Regarding the tremolo... I recorded the lap steel "clean" (no effects other than reverb) and I added tremolo in the mixing process. I listened to Duane Eddy's original, and I tinkered with my trem speed until it was about the same as his.
As far as mixing and recording, I've had a lot of experience in recording studios in the past 45 years and also done a lot of home recording in recent years. Thanks for checking out the video.
