Yeh Shaam Mastani - Kati Patang (Instrumental) Lap Steel Guitar by C.Garrett.wmv

This one is dedicated to my mentor Van Shipley who's guitar inspired me to play this instrument during my college days. I always admired his style of playing. It is sad that this is now an obsolete and a forgotten instrument in my home country India.

Played very well. Hawaiian Guitar is really a very sweet instrument. We had Van Shipley's show in 1968 or 69 in BITS Pilani, India and I started learning this instrument and used to play well. Still love it. I used to listen to Hazara Singh, relayed from Radio Cylone those days. Haven't touched this instrument for years now. It was played so well. Enjoyed it a lot.

Hi Jasbir,

I am glad you liked my playing and care about this now so called obsolete instrument in India. It was good to know that you once played it. I encourage you to pick it up again. My YouTube channel is garretcl listen to my other old and some new numbers.

Take care.

I used to record all the song played by Van Shipley back in 1969.It used to come on i think All India Radio at 2:30 pm in Saaz Aur Awaz and since that time i always love to hear the sound of Hawaiian Guitar this was my dream but for some reason i could not get hold of the guitar and i still miss it very much.Again lovely song played by you.God Bless{:-)

Hawaiian Guitar is such a great instrument....dunno why ppl ignored it. Should take efforts to keep this alive......m learning this guitar from my home town. If I would be a good player then I would certainly spread it as much as I can.

Amazing playing. Great upload.
