GOLDTONE SM Demonstration

Improvised tune on the spot to demonstrate the timbre, tone, sustain and resonance of these superb budget price Weissenborn copies.
A great guitar that punches well above its weight.

just wondering why you aren't dampening the strings behind the slide?

@jlyonia

i don't damp at all because i have no finger movement in my left hand.

my technique elies on arms, shoulder, wrist and a flaccid forefinger.

cheers

@slideytunes that'd account for that then :) doesn't seem to be making any difference to your tone man - nice one! if you've got a URL where I could download some of those skills, i'd love to see it ;) have fun!

@jlyonia

its the balance between the right and left hand that helps. i do make some string noise but sometimes; that's what i like.

i don't think you can download those skills; ! wow, if only; i'd learn to fly! my main web site is where to search for stuff

cheers

Two things I use my lap for: playing LAP steel guitar and playing with woman on LAP The guitar sounds better, but the woman sure feels good

You have a wonderful touch and a wonderful ear for harmony. Such a peaceful and calming piece you played, thank you. Cheers, Pete.

Hey Tom I just recently bought Gold Tone SM Weissenborn. Do you consider these to be the beginner guitar version of a Weissenborn.

ABsolutley fantastic sound! Excellent playing - keep it up. Thanks for making the video - very inspirational.

I can't believe that the use of shape of this only occurred to me when I saw this video... with a guy playing a LAP steel on his LAP.

Sounds badass
