Steel Guitar Rag

Hi, Steel Guitar Rag is THE steel guitar classic. You have to play it as well as you have to play "Sleepwalk". Since I have them both on YouTube the homework is somehow done. Now I'll proceed with some more unknown tunes I love.
This song is played on a Fender 1000, 9 pedal guitar (no knee levers). The A7 tuning I use on the back neck was developed by Basil Henriques, my friend and mentor, in the early 60ies of the last century. You have to dial to his channel, it's highly recommended. All pedals are connected to the A7 neck. The other neck is pure B11 tuning with NO pedals connected.
Please enjoy and leave comments, Joerg

Hi Joerg, another excellent played title. Is this a metallic green Fender? It seems to be a custom colour. I see a lot of instruments behind you; is this your private studio?

Written 1923 the steel guitar rag is still a classic song for steelplayers.

@MrGert1960 Yes, it looks to me that is a custom color. Leo Fender used Cadilac car colors for custom orders. The finish of this guitar is original

@MrGert1960 Indeed, in the background you see is my little studio. Please visit myspace user "joergschubert" to find some audio examples and links to other projects I’m unvolved in. Cheers Joerg.
