https://soundcloud.com/ray_legnini/lap-steel-songHere'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 RealTracks in song: 2046:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment CountryPopJohn Ev 120 RealDrums in Style: NashvilleEven16^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Open

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

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.

You are a master of the Lap Steel for sure.
This is really good!

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

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
