Lap Steel 2

Recommended Posts

 Hello , here's a pretty short one just trying to find my way around  on my lap steel. It's a sparce mix with 2 lap steel tracks, bass and drums. I'm trying to figure out how to get a pedal steel sound without having any string benders . I think I got it in a couple of passages. I think the next one I build will be short scale so I can slant the slide bar.   Thanks for the listen and any suggestions or comments.    mark

You've really got something there, unique sound . . . a shuffle beat with some funk guitar riffs, and the bending notes of the lap steel really make this an interesting piece to listen to. Your description makes it sound like just an experiment . . . but there's a great song idea baking in there somewhere.

sounds good!

That was my main objective 😁

@noynekker , Appreciate that Bruce. Until yesterday , I havn't listened to it since the original post. I may revisit it at some point. 

@treesha , Thank You . I've been having a problem lately with excessive reverbs. I'm really having to check myself. I think from now on though ,  the lap steel will be used for support instead of being the main instrument. It's just too hard for me right now for any direction changes.    Appreciate the listens ..    ms
