YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Called a raised nut (not a medical problem) slips under the strings with no other modifications. A decent music store should have it. Turns any guitar in to a DOBRO or like a lap steel.

ok first, you need more vids. good stuff. second i have a nylon acoustic and i was wondering if it is possible to do this on nylon and sound as fuckin awesome as yours. i'm a bass player, so i dont know what can and will work on what guitar since i never play the one (nylon acoustic) i have.

guido764 4 years ago

no, nylon won't work.

jseiler 4 years ago

guido764 4 years ago

Did you add some kind of echo effect? Sounds like a stadium or something. Anywho, great job..once again. Keep em' comin'!

tylrfshr12 4 years ago

I could not get both channels to work in movie maker so I looped the one channel from head phone to guitar input on the m-audio and recorded it with n-track, once it was in n-track i did ad a touch of reverb then I had to sync it back with the video.

ardentoctopus 4 years ago

That... Sounds....AwSome, just like the other 2 :D

Can't wait to see number 4 ;) keep up the good bluesing :P

Loved it, man! It was brilliant.

LPSWBB 4 years ago

ur amazing!! hurry up and post some more slide videos, and the head cam instead of the guitar cam is a pretty cool idea 2.

ltjlosingstreakX 4 years ago

Oh, very cool idea man! And nice playing too. Maybe you try like a head cam or something so we can get the view from your eye. either way, way cool.

The12ismine 4 years ago

Guitarcam..What a clever concept. It reminds me of when Letterman was on NBC and had all those wacky cams. You play well.

patrick691 4 years ago

I used to love that, ya know that may have contributed to the idea. I work with a Bass player that plays stand up and hope to do the Bass cam soon for that extra long view.

Thanks

how old are u man? cuz i thought i was the only one my age that gave a shit about muddy waters and the blues

colemckelvie 4 years ago

Hey it's great to see, It was not what was most popular 21 years ago when I was your age either but I think there will always be new fans of blues. Great music Knows no age.

ardentoctopus 4 years ago

If you like slide playing, check out the 'Paris Texas' film soundtrack with Ry Cooder playing (1980s). Even better, watch the film. Not strictly blues, but it's got the feel.

windster 4 years ago

I may rent it... I can handle not being as good as Ry Cooder.

I first heard this using some cheesy speakers, I went and got some Klipsch speakers, It was worth it. Great slide!!

word4077 5 years ago

Thanks, I recorded the sound with n-track studio and an audio technica mike rather then just into win Movie maker like on the other two, then sync'd the sound back to the video. I appreciate you noticing the quality, I figured my playing ain't getting any better, I better do somthing.

ardentoctopus 5 years ago

I didn't really feel like he was able to pull this song together into a whole coherent idea. He played the notes he wanted to play well though.

Wow again! Thats 3 for the album eh. Steve, you need to do the CD thing. I really like your music, and the way you play. I am a music freak, an artist, DJ, and harp player...please, please make me a CD. I will send the money first with shipping costs. :0)
