Pink Floyd - Wot's uh the deal solo on steel guitar (slide)

[faunoram]

great solo !!

and wonderful tone !

can i ask you the tuning of your lap steel ?

cheers !!

[snippydude]

@faunoram Thank you very much! Since it is sufficient for the songs I play on it, I just tuned it to dropped D.

Take care!

[ltcurry]

good job man, im impressed. Trully impressed.

[robertadiskin]

Hey, Snippydude!

Thanks again! You helped introduce me to this performance/tour, that your background track is from.

I have to once again applaud your superb performance!! They say imitation is the greatest form of compliment. Your cover, I believe, demonstrates how much we all are in awe of Floyd.

Their music speaks volumes!

[Walruson]

AWESOME

[rebelbhoy1888]

Awesome man..My fav floyd song of all time and you did a great job

[zombieboy9x3]

is that a POD 2.0 i see on your desk? if you are using it for your lap steel, would you mind sharing the settings? ya nailed the tone.

[snippydude]

Hey mate,

clos one - it's a PODxt. Don't know if the settings work on a 2.0, but if so I would not mind sharing at all ;) Let me know!

[zombieboy9x3]

@snippydude i'm not sure how close they are to be honest, but i would appreciate the settings to use as a foundation and tweak it from there... thanks man, great job btw!

[snippydude]

Sure, no problem. Just send me your mail adress. The question about the settings working was meant in a technical sense. Whether you can load and use my settings at all. But just give it a try.

[madavbests]

CONGRATULAZIONI!!

[i014720]

Great solo, and great version of the back track. Can you share it to me in MP3?

I've just bought a Lap Steel and will learn it myself.

[snippydude]

Hi mate!

Send me a message with your mail and I'll send it to you.

[Arturdg1bk]

Very nice!

[snippydude]

I never said that it is easy, where did you get this from? I said it is not that hard to learn, when you are able to properly play a guitar, because most of it is basically the same. And don't confuse "not that hard to learn" and "easy to become a professional" (like Gilmour is), those are totally different things.

[Timothyv491]

What about Breathe?

:)

[snippydude]

A bit to monotone on the steel-part for my taste. Love the song, but it's not that interesting to play ;)

[Maldrag]

Hi, how hard is it to play slide guitar?? i know how to play electric guitar... its there much difference?

[snippydude]

Hi!

I didn't find it very hard, to be honest. But I guess since I used a common tuning (dropped D) it is not that much to get acquainted to. You have to get the feeling for it, but if you get past the first steps, when it sounds just dreadful because you don't hit the proper notes, you can get better rather quickly.

[DafMaqueguen]

Great vid and great version! 5 stars

[jmm1233]

very good

[jeje6868]

Congrats...

any special tuning?

[snippydude]

Thanks! No, just common dropped D ;)

[ricosvegas]

wow.. you were almost right on...

[9016915701]

great job. i have an artisian but cant play nearly as well as you yet. bravo

[BigBoy3891]

damn that is really good. sounds like the real thing

[tenordude14]

What kind of Steal Lap guitar is that?

and what are you using for amplification?

[snippydude]

The lap steel is a Harley Benton Slider II from Thomann. As an Amp I use a PodXT.

[mugwomp3000]

It's the exact same steel as the Rogue EA-3 (and several others). You can get them for very cheap. I'm intrigued - I wasn't sure about the Rogue but snippy is sounding good. I may just go ahead and get one as my first lap steel...

You replace the pickup or anything, snippy?

[snippydude]

Hi mugwomp ;)

Sorry to disappoint, but my lap steel is not the same es the Rogue or the others you mentioned. I know them as well and wanted to start with them, but then decided to start with a little higher pricetag. So I bought this guitar which is actually a licenced copy from a guitar made by a small german manufacturer. Feel free to google abm-mueller, there you'll find the original. The pickup is standard (Humbucker in singlecoil design)

[mugwomp3000]

I see the differences now. Sorry about the mixup. Sadly, can't seem to find much info on your guitar in America... I guess I could order one from Europe and ship it but the shipping would probably be quite a bit... Hmmmmm, maybe I'll save up for a Joe Morrell or something...

[snippydude]

You won't get my guitar anywhere else except in Germany, because the model is a licenced copy by germanies biggest music store called thomann. They will ship to the USA for 30 Euros fixed. The guitar costs 220 Euros. Just for orientation ;)

[mugwomp3000]

I appreciate the info. I'm definitely going to look into ordering one...

Thanks a ton, snippy.

[rolibrother]

excellent playing! How was your steel guitar tuned?

thanks

[snippydude]

Thanks man!

It was tuned in dropped D, so not open ;)

[WeLovePinkFloyd]

nice

[Drum0ff]

lol nice..... but get a real guitar not just some thing on da table

[snippydude]

... this is "the real guitar" for this song... Sounds like shit when you play it on a normal electirc just with a bottleneck. And obviously I have a "real" guitar...

[mangahead21]

...that's how Gilmour plays the solo, jesus christ, why are people on youtube so quick to knock other people's work?

Great job mate, near perfect from what I can tell. I'm just putting the finishing touches to an acoustic version of this song myself, it's a really nice piece to play.
