Noticed the Ry Cooder t-shirt! Remember how He kept throwing away His Cry Baby Wah pedals, eventually found that the 9 volts were dying? Haha. Cool interview decades back. This video though, is really awesome, specific.
Thank you for this demonstration. I knew nothing about this instrument except that it can sound really cool, Now you've given me ideas for technique, tuning, pedal set up and more. Great video! Really appreciate you!
Funny you mentioned the synthesizer… I play electric guitar and synth as a studio musician, and started switching much of my synth playing to lap steel around 2 years ago, just because I wanted a fresh sound added to what I was doing. So this is actually the primary way I use a lap steel, and I could get lost in it for hours. Good stuff! Your videos are always great.
This is the style of playing that really got me into Lap Steel. I play predominantly worship music and I’m no stranger to using volume swells. A lot of worship guitar players use a slide when they are playing more ambient passages, and that works great. The fluidity of pitches moving with a slide/bar sounds amazing with the style of playing. You can definitely do more with a lap style instrument though. Slants, chords/intervals with the bar. With a slide guitar you really just get 1 note or maybe a couple notes straight across. Great video man!
This is great ... Thank you. I have been working with my 1939 Vega Lap Steel for many years trying to create ambient soundscapes. Now, working with digital DAW's I highly recommend the free app Valhalla Super Massive. The kind of sounds it can create with either an electric guitar, or midi keyboard are really amazing.
Troy, Hello from Kansas City, Missouri. This is my favorite video on your RUclips channel so far. For any one thats interested, check out Bruce Kaphan for more Ambient Pedal Steel Guitar. Thanks.
Thanks for another great video, TB. I like it but I like it better without the fade in, just using more connecting notes and a bit of echo. Guess it's just my taste and simple tuning allows for this to be done very simply and easily. Followed this one all the way through. That was fun 💕🙂
Hey Troy, I really dig your videos. Can you make an hour-long video where you just play nice tunes on the lapsteel without talking? Just for me to relax :-)
Tryin something like this I'm finding my Ernie Ball volume pedal ramping up real fast, so the foot movement has to be very delicate. Is this something you have to live with or can you actually make the pedal swell less steep somehow?
Bom dia a todos,sou de Fortaleza Ceará Brasil , amigos sou apaixonado porl still guitar , eu fiz um lap still guitar, e estou com poblema de afinação afina normal mais nas oitavas da diferença na afinação , provavelmente erro de escala, alguém pode me ajudar me indicando qual medidas serta de escala do capo traste até o Ponte devo fazer pois não tem um progeto de medidas certa, desde já agradeço pela atenção e dicas 👍
Can u tell me what I need and show me what to get to make it sounds like a band behind me when I’m trying to learn the lap steel. I use to be the main singer and play rhythm guitar how do u know what string to hit that goes with what strings. I’m getting more confused. If u can help I would appreciate it. THANKS I WOULD KINDLY APPRECIATE IT ❤️👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is exactly what I try to teach people, no matter the instrument, it’s all about these intervals, and the magic of dissonance. Thanks for this!
This is so valuable to me, thank you. I just discovered this instrument and thanks to your demonstration I'm going for it...🙏

Enjoyed the video immensely big thank you 😊
It sounds more lonely than sad,,will have a look at that movie you mentioned also sounds like a good one cheers bud😮
Troy reminds me of David Gilmore in this video... DG is the master of ethereal Lap steel.

Very cool, thanks!
Incredible. Just simply "awesome" what you did here with limited tools and effects! Truly inspiring indeed.
Great video! Thanks alot.

Great video! Your stuff is always exactly what I need to watch!

Beautiful Troy,, thank you 👍☘️
Fabulous ambience..
Thank you for this! Maybe you would do another one with some tips on using the benders too?
I did something like this on a recording to do a harmony with my voice, delay+volume pedal+slide guitar=awesome.

Hey Troy, great video, what gauge strings would you recommend for Open D on a lapsteel?
Wow

Love that sound! Are you using a Beard slide bar? Is it heavy?
Thanks! It’s a Scheerhorn bar
Thanks for this! I use my VOX amp with a lot of built in effects. Works great! What audio interface are you using Troy?
Thanks! I use a Universal Audio ApolloX
@@LessonsWithTroy It sounds great! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year sir!
Stop spending my money dammit!!😂
