A little demo of a custom Lap King Rodeo lap steel guitar, built by Jason DuMont - http://www.lapking.com . The signal chain is Lap King Rodeo guitar \ Cmatmods Signa Drive overdrive pedal \ T-Rex Tremster tremolo pedal \ Fender Blues Junior amp. The recording is made with an SM-57 mic picking up the amp signal, and an SE2200A condenser mic for the talking (which is muted in the mix while I play the lap steel). Enjoy!

The lap steel is tuned to Ab minor (G minor tuning up half a step).

  • I don't know which one to get the National New Yorker or the Lap King . Which one do you prefer ? Very good videos thanks. Ken

  • @FishyMcNuggets Hi Ken - The Lap King and the National are very different guitars, both great in their individual ways - the obvious advantage with the Lap King is that it is a top-notch modern instrument, reliable for gigging etc. I love the old New Yorkers but you never know when a 70+ year old electronic component decides to call it a day, so for gigging I only use the Lap Kings.

  • dude what tuning are you using that sounded great. thats the best lap playing ive heard on youtube period lol

    Peace and Love

  • @ganjaking187 G minor: DGDGBbD, low to high. I think I had tuned up to Ab minor on that video, but it's the G minor shape. Glad you like it - I use that tuning most of the time.

  • hey is that red box a tremolo foot step?

    It sounds good

  • Yep - it's a T-Rex Tremster.

    I have been a musician for over 25 years and decided to pick up playing lap steel. I didn't want to spend a lot of money if it ended up being something I didn't enjoy and at this price there wasn't much risk. Unlike the other reviewers mine showed up in perfect working order. No scratches or ...
