It is an instrument I always wanted to get into, but haven't. I like it when Steve Howe or David Gilmour use it, in a rock context, but I can't see how it would be used in my own music. Still a great sound.Administrator of the SDUGF

I always liked the sound of a lap steel. I saw Joe Perry play one the few times we've seen Aerosmith. Not as graceful as I've seen others but how he played it suited the song. I couldn't play one. Regular slide on guitar gives me enough trouble.

I did the Lindley thing for awhile with an old Rickenbacher but got interested in 8-string A6/C6 and the western swing players. I made my own using some very old Paul Bigsby-machined parts I found in a thrift store. You can do a LOT more with an 8. I also played E9 pedal steel for awhile but you really need to put in the time with that. BTW---National made a 6 string lap steel in the 50s with a lever back by the bridge to raise the I chord to a IV.
