Biscuit Box Lap Steel Guitar

[pacisablo]

what's the best way to get lessons? it doesnt seem as easy to get lessons on you tube like you can for the regular guitar?

[pacisablo]

how are you tuned there?

[Bisho0op]

Very creative to do an instrument and to give him a good sound as vos, a doubt, which sane you use??? For acoustics, electica or other one

------------------------------­---------------And another doubt all is the distance between fret and fret Thank you very much Atte: Bisho0op

[apateoniskos]

ending reminds me of lucky luke xD excelent work m8

[SotR59]

wow that is pretty cool. It actually sound very nice.

[GreenTree732]

that sounds awesome

[unstrung13]

oh my lord man!! that's the best sounding tin guitar i've ever heard!!!

WELL DONE!!! SUB'D!!!!

[miamidfinsfan2613]

I saw this thing in a pawn shop and I looked at it and was like WTF!?!! there pretty cool and its obvious your really good at it

[bigsamable1]

great playing, great guitar, sounds like real old a blues recording.

[e9elk]

Sound Great. I had to read the comments

to see if it was acoustic. I build a steel with a tuna can as the resonator. The frist time I mounted a piezo pick up under the tuna can and attached it to the bridge. I had a second electro magnect pick wtih a blend pot. Just the tuna can was pretty rauscous. In the middle, a little to the magnet pick up was good. When I rebult I put them both togeather but had the piezo pick up on a 3/4" board in the Tuna Can - a Tunabro. Nice Playing.

Great stuff. This is easily the 2nd best tin guitar I've heard (the best is your standard biscuit box guitar). I'm humbled. Wish i could play like you too!

[deferre]

Thanks again!!! :-)

[nicok58]

a orales chido que estes bien

[nicok58]

aaaaaaa oyes osea apenas la voy a comprar que tan recomendables es la banez grx40 ando indeciso por eso y encontre este video me paresio fantastico y ps aqui dejando mi comentario XP ps ya sabes ojala que me puedas orientar chido

[deferre]

No tengo ni idea de cómo es esa guitarra.

Yo tengo una Ibanez af120, de jazz, y estoy muy contento con ella.

[nicok58]

eso es padrisismo aqui yo estresandome trabajnado para comprarme una guitarra electrica ibanez grx40 sabiendo con una caja puedo fabricar uno ami gusto que chevere XDXDXD

[deferre]

bueno, yo también tengo una Ibanez por ahí. ;-)

Cumbus-like sustain effect. In fact metal bodies provide such an effect.

[deferre]

first time I hear about that effect. Could you explain further?

[Nupharluteum]

Just search a video of cumbus and you'll know what I mean. Metal bodies enhance and emphasize sustain and volume. Similar effect is provided by dobros for example.

[deferre]

I guess you' talking here about cümbüs, the Turkish instruments. I saw them in Istambul and failed to buy one, due to lack of space. But next time I visit Turkey I'll buy one. For sure!

[Nupharluteum]

Do it, you won't regret!

[josue285]

interesting instrument

[dbfkjmatt]

im trying to make my own guitar almost identical to urs but wiv a thicker tin, will this effect the sound? and is the tin u used thin enough to pierce, thts my worry. keep up the good work man!

[Insanitea]

wow i love this song , what's it called ?

[deferre]

It has no name. Just 'written' for this video. It's a bit inspired by Blind Willie Johnson, I must admit.

[yakimonoya]

cool

[PotterPossum1989]

Hello - How much d you think you'd charge to make one of those? I'd be interested in learning to play, but I can't find one cheaply anywhere.

If you can help me in any way, thanks in advance.

Kegan

[deferre]

Write me an e-mail and we'll talk about that...

Cheers!

[PotterPossum1989]

Well you're quick, thanks :) PM on the way.

[leighThe4th]

dose your have a jack input, mine dosn't its like 100 years old and i thought might as well try learning it i can play jsuta normal guitar

[deferre]

Sorry, but there's no pick-up installed, nor a jack output. The guitar is pure acoustic. The camera mic can colour the sound though. It does it in fact.

Cheers!!!

[leighThe4th]

ok cheers

mine dosn't have input or jack as well

mines made out of like metal

i took it to the music shop for a serves they said it was a slid lap guitar, but they wernt sure

what tuning do you use?

keep up the good work

[deferre]

I use mostly open D tuning.

[csikszentmihalyi]

goddamn that's some nice pickin' ...

[deferre]

Hi!

Just to tell you that this guitar is now for sale on Ebay. (Although youtube won't let me paste the link.)

[Punchabearinnamouf]

This sounds REALLY great dude. I'm lovin it.

[deferre]

Thanks!

[varandunil]

nice tune! thanks for supper last night, really enjoyed it. Take care

[deferre]

Hi! Thanks for the comment!

See you soon! :-)

[thewretchedrod]

very nice.!!!

how do you tune your lap steel...?

[deferre]

Thanks!

I tune it in open D: DADF#AD

[BorgFalcon]

wow that was awesome, man :)

[danielwetpaint]

Great Job,,,you have to post the second one too!,,,Sounds great! Who dat a playin?,,why it's Bissethead Deferre!

[hotfirecaster]

Hey!!!!

Great and cool!

Congrats!

Chris

[opoknock]

Very good but do you have to dismantle your guitar if you want a biscuit?

[deferre]

If you really want a good sound, you must eat up all the cookies before building the guitar. Chocolate has weird acoustical properties. :-)

[a8ingemini]

ROFL!!! Thanks man, I'm just getting in to slide and I dig the hell out of your vids. Thanks much and keep up the smooth work.

[freegab]

Wow, just finish mine yesterday.

Start playing for first time ! sound owesome in large room.

Do you have tabs of this song ?

[deferre]

Congratulations!!! :-)

No, I don't have tabs. It's just a small tune I made up on the go, for this video.

Cheers!

[balhidhu]

cool

[brazilgrass]

It would sound even better with beefier (wound 3rd) strings.

And it wouldn't hurt if you leave more wood both on the neck and headstock.

Overall a fine job. Congrats!

[deferre]

I agree.

In fact I've got a second, improved, version of the instrument. I'll post it someday.

thanks!!!

[alvaritooooooooo]

Nice video, nice playing and awesome guitar. Cheers mate!

[stratking69er]

congrats- you are a very very clever fella.

Seeing and hearing this clip has inspired me to have a go. Are there any websites that might provide a bit more guidance?

Good playing mister !!!

[coolsrj123]

bloody ingeneus..

[frontsidefiveoh]

Hello!

...nice job, man, just got your book: You're a a good one! Thanks a lot, carry on!

[deferre]

Thank you!!!

Hope you like the book.  :-)

[whenimsurfing]

cual es lap pieza que electrifica el rollo ?? como se llama ?? sabes son los guitar tuners esoso que son ??

[deferre]

No hay nada eléctrico. El sonido es acústico puro, sin aditivos. La 'reverb' es la propia del salón de mi casa. :-)

Las clavijas (tuners) las compré en Stewmac hace ya tiempo. Son normales, tipo gotoh.

Saludos!!!

[elbitle]

muy buenos licks!

[honkybreaker]

ca sonne tres bien bravo, je pense en acquerir un ,connais tu junior brown, il est plutot country mais j aime bien le blues aussi, es que les biscuits etait bons, j imagine que tu l a fabrique toi meme ciao

[gorehound1313]

Thats a great sounding lap steel,good job!

[mistercao]

¿Cómo sonaría con una caja de galletas de chocolate blanco? Eres un puñetero Master...

[deferre]

Era un surtido variado, incluídas unas galletillas de chocolate blanco, mis michelines dan fe. Eso la da una respuesta armónica mucho más rica a la caja, más vintage.

Saludos KO!!!

[thehoodoogang]

hey hey,

when are we gonna cook this live on stage?

[deferre]

Uhmmm, ik zie dat niet zitten. :-)

[coolmanweb]

Que bueno deferre.

Y como suena! :)

[evilblues]

Que mostro eres tio, dale caña. Se nota que la caja es vintage...xDD

Fuera coña,suena muy bien tio. Keep it blues!

[deferre]

El teletubby sí es vintage. :-)

[gustavoblues]

Je je...

estás que no paras con tus "inventos".

Genial!

[deferre]

Estoy hiperactivo.  :-)

Gracias!
