  • i really enjoyed this vid but am a new-comer to this type of guitar,i take it you cant play chords or bend notes ??

  • @bowbridge113 The chords you can play depend on the tuning you're in...definitely limited compared to regular guitar.

    There's a string bend at 1:28, the left-hand pinky pulling the string behind the bar(slide).

  • Dude this rocks! I was thinking about buying a lap steel and you just made my decision for me...lol...What brands do you recommend? I would really like to get a 1930-1950s one but wasnt sure if that would be something I could play on consistently? Any advice? Thanks and amazing job on the song

  • @nunozach Thanks!

    Older lap steels sound great for more traditional styles, but if you're playing rock, you might want something with a humbucker, like an Asher.

    Good luck!

  • @TheRaubtiermann Thanks for the comment. The guitar I'm playing is a lap steel...I've got several kind of "weird" ones, mostly bought off e-bay.
