https://soundcloud.com/ray_legnini/lap-steel-song

Here's a fun song that's all lap steel. I always loved the vibe that David Lindley got with his lap steel as heard on Jackson Browne recordings, so I set up my old National lap steel from the '40s plugged into some overdrives and into a Fender amp, miked with a Shure SM57. That's the National you can see in the picture on SoundCloud.

BIAB helped to quickly provide the outline for the song. I played the backing guitars and the bass part. Then came the lap steel in one continuous live overdub.

Key=D, Tempo 119

Style is -NSE16^6.STY

I hear that Lindley inspired vibrato - you're an excellent player. I enjoyed the bouncy bass part as well - nicely done all around.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Ray,

Cool. Enjoyed that. You captured that Lindley/Browne style/sound perfectly. With a Jackson-like vocal on that it would sound like it came right off the Running On Empty album...

Good mix.

Ray,

You are a master of the Lap Steel for sure.

This is really good!


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Nicely done Ray...
Thanks for showcasing you talents...
On your "old National lap steel", though I must admit...
It looks like it is in mint condition smile

Lovely tone and playing. Always enjoyed a good "Lindley" solo.

That`s some very tasty playing; you captured that Jackson Browne/David Lindley sound really well.

Great playing as usual. I didn't know Lindley played lap steel, I thought it was just regular slide guitar. Really enjoyed it.

Hi Ray,

very cool. I think I've never seen or heard somebody playing the lap steel. Sounds amazingly good. Very enjoyable !

Cheers,

Stefan

Hello Ray,

Didn't know what a Lap Steel was before, but when you played it in your beautiful song, I suddenly remembered it. But the way I heard people playing on this instrument was certainly not so exciting as you played it! I begin to like it now, I think...
But the song was more than this active lead lap steel. The band behind it was good with a clear sound. So a good mixing.

Thanks,
Hans

WOW, loved this to bits Ray, I've been playing lap steel for a couple of years and was getting on well but my left wrist started getting really sore so I've had to stop for a while and stick to my accordions. Super playing and well arranged
