This is my version of "Girl In The Glass". Had fun with this and as usual played on C6 lap steel. The refurbished one.

Really enjoyed that, Mick :guitar: :guitar: :guitar:
Your refurb guitar's sounding great.
Not too sure about the piano break :shock: sounded like the 'band in a box' player was hitting the strings with a toffee hammer :lol:
Thanks for posting.

Mick
That was a real treat to hear and the section before the " toffee hammer" flowed sweet like honey and the section after it, made my mouth water, it is very enlightening as to what can be achieved on a " plank " in the hands of someone who has the skill to play it. :guitar: :guitar: :P
Your posts are very enjoyable so please keep them coming, thanks again for making my day :roll: :guitar: :guitar:
Regards
Robert

Sorry about that. The toffee hammer was me writing in the notes one by one on cubase. Need to have lessons.

I had the pleasure of listening to that, and then stayed on for the next one, "Everybody Hurts" by REM. That's the thing with a steel - you can play stuff from genres you wouldn't immediately think of as a steel tune, but, dammit, Carruthers, it works! Tasty...

I am really going to have to move away from the flavour of this and change the ending slightly. Those very last notes right up high trying to hold a slant when the frets are so close together is quite a task. Might be better to come back down at that point. :o
