Very cool tune Graham. Excellent playing. Love the sound of this instrument. Well done
Nice work here Graham smile I love the groove, and the playful style the slide guitar is played in. It has a really upbeat and positive vibe to it, which I enjoyed. All in all - a really pleasant and easy to digest listen smile

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Scott, that's where biab comes into its own for quickly getting chords laid out to do a tune
Really loved your use of the RealTracks in the song. Thanks for sharing!

Nice melody happening on this one, and I like the tone on the steel. Sounds good!

Graham,
Your chops are lively on this happy tune -very well played.

Thanks Dave, I made no tweaks to the tone at all, just reverb in Cool edit

Hi furry, I really enjoyed the overall tone of this. Fantastic choice of instrumentation, the finger picking guitar really helps set the tone. Very easy to listen to. Great work!

Hey thanks Robert, they Are from the North of Scotland. They do a mixture of Scottish traditional and country music. All very talented and multi instrumentalists.

I fully agree with Deryk - particularly the part about the lap steel sounding so playful. Smooth, fun and most enjoyable. Ya did great, Graham! loved the song and the video.

You have a very nice touch with the lap steel, Graham - a real pleasure to hear!

Thanks buddy, I've a long long way to go yet before it's mastered. Still need to get to grips with slants

Yes, that is a wonderful tune. May I ask, is there a sound font for slide lap steel guitar somewhere? I couldn't find the description in SampleTank3 or sforzando BiaB?

Thanks,
Marty

Beautiful tune Graham! You always do great work! Thanks, Torrey

Excellent playing on the lapsteel Graham!
I know how hard it is, to use a slide on a western guitar, the lapsteel is probably 10 times harder.
Well done!
