That guitar will never be the same again. Now that she's been played by Sonny Landreth, she'll never be played like that again. She will spend the rest of her life feeling unfulfilled, searching...being ganked by hackers in a series of meaningless one-night-stand dives, and will likely never experience another true orgasm as long as she lives. But she will always remember this night, when she was caressed and seduced by the hands of the great Sonny Landreth. :-)
Worked it out. You play a 12th fret slide and strike hard and then mute with your right hand and release. The strings automatically ring back out and resonate creating a volume swell effect. The trick is getting the slide right on the exact point where bridge and nut side are equal in pitch. Hard to do first off but then it's easy. It wont work anywhere else on the neck that I've found so far. Cool trick ! Thanks Sonny great playing as always.
Imagine the bridge of the guitar as sitting on a kind of aluminium acoustic loudspeaker fitted into the body - that's what a resonator guitar is. Loud and wonderful!
"Strange" 'TERRAPLANE' originally was an automobile brand of the Hudson motor company in the thirties. Made famous up to now by the greatest of them all: Robert Johnson with his, "Teraplane Blues".
I'm totally hooked on the magnificent sound of the 'resonator' and this 'Demo' of Sonny's is soothening ones mind and ears !! In one word, superb !!
@EpiphoneMaster1234: You are absolutely right ! I just said that to my kids.

How on Earth does he do the vibrato thing at the end ? Pressing down on the strings between the tailpiece and bridge maybe ? Weird !

It works on almost any odd fret number above 12. 17 and 19 especially.

Google it up but the resonator is not electronic but a thin, aluminum cone inside the body to act like a speaker.

The resonator played features a pick up so this example is electric.
