  • Thanks for all the kind comments, everyone!

  • You have the same beautiful tecnique as the MASTER Jerry Byrd.And that is meant as the ultimate compliment.

  • @8032rayjay Thank you so much. I'm not worthy, but I can think of no higher compliment.

  • nicely done. Now the obvious question, what tuning for steel guitar? Is it...

    ECAGECGC? just a guess...

    Good work on those harmonics just before the guitar solo, also, playin the upright bass. Dude.

  • @Musikhauspdx Thank you. The tuning is C13. Low to high- C, Bb, C,E,G, A, C, E.

  • Definitely the best cover of this song on YouTube.

    That steel guitar is absolutely beautiful. I'm assuming a Dynalap, judging by the pickup, the headstock style, and the neck style. What type of wood is it?

    Also, is that a Taylor guitar? Also very nice sound and look.

    Just amazing. Mahalo for this beautiful music.

  • @WiliamatheMusician Thanks! The steel guitar is one that I built myself from scratch. All Maple. The construction is somewhat similar to the Dynalap, and in fact that pickup was originally in my Dynalap. The guitar is a Taylor, yes. Thanks for viewing.

see all

  • STUNNING ! So many nice chordal formations on that steel and

    your regular guitar picking was so delicate. I wonder. if I were to wish

    upon that same star, would such fine talent come to me ? ("Keoki")

  • Thanks, it's so beautiful.

  • That lap steel is beautiful. Nice work with both instruments, you are very talented..Thanks..

    Wayne..

  • Beautiful. Very tasteful.

  • Hey The Aulani may be interested in this song. Submit your performance to them.  Possibly you can do tracks for the Disney Resort on Oahu.

  • Very pretty tune , i seen your steel on the builders forum and i must say it sounds as beautiful as it looks (azureskys on the forum )
