Thanks for the nice comments. I appreciate it! I recorded this on a solid mahogany Gold Tone which is a great guitar in the $1000 and under category. My main Weissenborns are a mid-1920's style 1 and a style 1 made by New Zealand based luthier Tony Francis.
Man, that is incredible! Really nice, can't get enough of it. I knew Ry's version - but this is wonderful too. I've listen to it now at least 30 times. Thanks a lot. - What sort of Weissenborn do you play?
love the sound of the ol box. you and MR. MARTIN GROSS are the stuff. I play regular 6 and 12 strings kids got me a reso and dang it is different. keep on keeping on .well done, thank you for the video.
I agree dislikers... I have been a Ry Cooder fan for 30 years and this man does his song justice. I like how he adds a little more bluesy riff to it. Ry does the song on his Strat and to do this on a lap is wonderful. Unfortunatly, I play elec. slide and can't make it sound as good as a Weissenborn.
@goldtop52 This is just a fellow lover of slide. I played guitar for over 20 years and thought I could just pick up a lap slide and go. UMMMMM, nope. Good luck though. I learned Ry Cooder's version in about an hour. On my lap, it took me 8hrs...lol.
AMAZING!!! you have some nice chops. I'm considering getting a dobro. Do you prefer the type that you have or a regal. I don't know much about either of them but there is a Regal at a pawnshop near by. Any advice you could give me would be great. Oh and I would play blues/bluegrass on it. Thank you and awesome playing
Generally speaking, Weissenborn guitars are much quieter than dobro's. Of course, volume and ability to "cut" through the mix can have as much to do with the players right hand strength as it does the instrument. It takes a lot of work - IMO - to build the right hand strength and dexterity need to pull tone out a dobro. Weissenborn guitars naturally have better tone than dobro's so you have to adjust your approach for each instrument.
how does this compare volume wise to a dobro? Most of the dobro players I seem at the music jams I attend have rather low volume and the rest of us have to back off a bit when the dobro is being played.
i dont usually leave positive comments for “youtube-musicians” and at first i thought this was going to be another “fail” video. but i will say, from one musician to another, YOU ARE GREAT! keep up the hard work.
stavebarrettfilm, when the neck of a bottle is used,you would hold the guitar in the normal way with the neck perhaps but not necessarily on the little finger, this is called bottle neck. to use a metal bar or slide (made as well in other materials such as glass) held in one hand while picking or strumming with the other hand while the guitar rests on your lap,this is called lap slide
I tried to play bottleneck style early on but lap style just felt better for me. Technique wise there are some similarities between bottleneck and lap slide - for example just learning to play in tune is one of the major challenges. But they're really pretty different...lap style makes it possible to play hammer-on's and pull-offs which are not possible with a bottleneck, while bottleneck has a different tone. Its not a question of good or bad, just different
Anyone have any tabs for anything like this? I have been playing lap steel for a while but using my regular guitar...however my new Weissenborn is arriving this week and I want to greet it with such awesomeness like the guy rocking above. lol.
Excellent video. I play this video when people ask me why I have bought yet another guitar. hahaha.
check out other videos (there are some amazing ones and soo many from the plyayerrs who got here....atleast I think so.......so please no offence....keep on pickin') but in my opinion this one says quite alot.
Thanks Rob....I've been following your site for a long time but(and) I still keep coming back to this one.
WOw man,this is magic,you are very big,my congratulations,i love this kind of instruments and his tunning,and his way of playing. And then ,people like you giving us this moments. Thank you.
Ive listened to all types of blues at hundreds of biker rallies around britain and for the most part, I bloody hate it.
This however is a masterpiece. Beautifully played with a lovely fluid hand and great accents. I'm that impressed I'd actually pay to get in a venue to see this guy. Very very well done mate.
the more I come back to listen to this, the more I realize just how good this is! this is DAMN FINE blues!!!! I've been looking at material - just got a Weissenborn at NAMM. THe one I got they had set up with a steel bridge like the originals and they liked how it sounded, so left it like that for me. Could I ask you what tuning you're using for this? This is DAMN fine music!
If that is an off-the-shelf Goldtone, I guess I'll buy one. Doesn't sound like a Bear creek, but the price isn't the same either. Nice playing. Just realized who you are. Enjoy your lessons on RN.
Fantastic, bought a Goldtone SM after I heard this. Incidentally, I suspect the action on my instrument is a bit low: could you please tell me how did you set yours? Again: bravo!
this is an off-the-shelf Gold Tone, no modifications. Replacing the nut should be a fairly straightforward modification. Just make sure you have the work by someone that knows what they are doing! Use a bone nut which is about 1/2" high from underneath the strings. This will also allow you to use a capo, which comes in pretty handy for certain tunes.
Hi, thank you so much for your answer! Definitely I need more action: got a Beard capo and can't use it from the fifth fret (where it starts to touch the fingerboard). Tomorrow I'll visit my luthier: hope he knows what is doing, at least more than I do!
great great sound,Bravo!i have a problem in sliding my martin d 35..can i help me please?i use a glass medium bottkleneck,but in the open tune i have problem with buzz string.I use the factory standard martin nut/capo.Salut!
I'm guessing that you need to have your guitar set up with higher action to play slide...lap style like I'm playing and bottleneck are pretty different... in general, higher action=more string tension and better overall playability for slide purposes, but of course, beyond a certain point this is not a good thing if you want to play your instrument like a normal guitar.

Open E or G is probably the best if you want to play with others. I like open E because it leaves a lot of the positioning the same as standard tuning. EX: F=1st fret F#=2nd Fret G=3rd Fret etc. I found it easier to solo and play along with records with these tunings. Hope this helps.
