NOTE: Since I teach Sleep Walk here, it's not on the DVDs! No need to be redundant :) The DVDs contain loads of lessons on chording, melody playing, and include arrangements for blues & country tunes. The DVDs will have you playing lap steel competently in short order!
This video is a performance and some short lessons for my arrangement of the classic track "Sleepwalk" by Johnny & Santo for C6 lap steel. A mesmerizing piece of music that sounds great 50+ years later!

Thanks for watching.
After buying the individual lesson, I purchased the "Learn To Play C6 Lap Steel" download, and in my opinion it's well worth checking out. Tons of information, tabs, explanations, examples of techniques, a great selection of songs to learn/play, etc. Not affiliated in any way, but believe in giving props to individuals like this, it's as advertised. Also, after purchasing, I had a download question and Joe responded within 30 minutes. Lap steel is an underrated instrument, just love the amazing range of possible tones, especially paired with some delay and reverb. Looking forward to learning more, thanks JoeDoc:)
Thank you , Kelly! Much appreciated. I'm always glad to answer questions - lap steel still fascinates me after many years of guitar, bass and lap steel playing. Such a beautiful instrument with surprising flexibility. Thanks so much for your support :) best, joe
one of the best steel guitar songs ever...
I love this song so much, every time I hear it it brings me back to the first time I watched "La Bamba" the story of Richie Valens and it gets me super emotional every time. Thank you for doing such a great cover of this song.
what a time for music...incredible
C6 Lap Steel lessons are pretty sparse here on RUclips and as a beginner Lap Steel player, what I found was more advanced for what I wanted or I didn't like their teaching style. For the price of what it would cost for an hour Lap Steel lesson you can Purchase Joe's 2 CD set. It's very well laid out and easy to follow and after watching just few short video's you can grasp the basic concepts that would make this video less intimidating to a beginner. I'm enjoying his videos and after for months of frustration, I finally have a sense of direction on this instrument. Thanks Joe
Thanks Bruno! So glad you like the lessons. j
Can you give me the link for your DVD, Joe?

Those Rondo SX lap steels rock for sure!
+Smurf431 Ah ha that's what I was looking for the maker of the Lap Steel! Thanks so much. Gotta go find one of these, like now! Maximum Respect ~ Loo
Joe did a great job. I can highly recommend the Sleep walk lesson and especially the C6 lap steel ebook. I played guitar for 30 years and this year I went into Weissenborn, Dobro and lap steel. For C6 the ebook covers everything you wanna know - basics, theory, lessons, licks and many more!
Very well done. My favorite steel guitar number. I'm an old guy and remember when Santo and Johnny made it a hit in the late 50's. I like the way you play it.
Cool
This is my go to version of this song. My absolute favorite. Such fluid and majestic playing!
nice intro tutorial! I'm just learnin' lap steel and I love the "C6" sound.
Excellent playing and teaching! Well balanced between easy and difficult. This balance enables you to get through the entire piece in just 15 minutes, with a wide variety of players able to benefit.
Hi, New to lap steel here. I published music lessons and music notation/tabs for 30 years. Your arrangement for Sleepwalk is spot on. The price is more than fair and I'm really pleased. Been playing six string electric for almost 60 years and I really am enjoying my new venture into lap steel. Thank you very much for your help. Signed, Old Dude in Retirement, Haha
Brilliant work Joe, I love your teaching method. Makes it look so easy.
Thanks a million

Amazing,I play a banjo,but I'm tempted to try this.I really like the pedal steel sound.
beautiful playing , good as any ive heard .
Thankyou for this wow what memories of my late dad sat downstairs 3am - ish on one of his two homemade 8 & 10 stringed electric lap steel's loved it thanx again x
Gorgeous!
You want to learn C6 lap steel, Joe's DVD's are great. Easy to understand goes at a good pace to learn.
I just got a lap steel for Christmas. Great job, this is a song I have to learn and this video is incredibly helpful!
Very sweet. Short, sweet and raw.
That was very nicely done! Impressed with how close it was to the original! Great work!
I'm coming to lap steel from dobro, and always play with picks. Instead of using the finger tip for harmonics (there's no fleshy part of the finger available when I'm using picks), I use the palm of my hand, which works fine and for me and feels more natural. Thanks for a great lesson.
Very, very nice Joe. That is one of my favourite song's and you played it perfectly. I can't wait to hear more. Thanks for sharing.
I have my dad's lap steel from 1946 and I've been trying to figure out how to play it...
I've been play regular guitar for a long time but I've wanted to play this song for so long, it's one of my favorite songs
Ritchiiiiiiiiie!
APStephens NO RITCHIEEEEEEEEEEEE
This is just absolutely fantastic.
I love how this video gets straight to it. Great playing.
Nice work. C6 - the real deal!
I have goofed around with sliding on my Strat, so when I tried Sleepwalk as my first lap steel piece, it has worked out well. My last step is to add the harmonics, and I am working on that now. I am a pro music teacher, jazz player, so I will end up sneaking my Gretsch Electromatic into our gigs! Great arrangement, and thanks!
first song I learned on the lap steel...nice easy to follow lesson. thank you. Just purchased an 8 string version of your sx
Very nice job on Sleep Walk
Thanks to your DVD on beginner lap steel playing, I finally learned how to play the right way!!!
Very nice playing!!
I have two of the SX lap steels and you cannot beat them for the money. The ash models have sustain forever. Probably about to buy an 8 string as well.
Really bummed they don't ship to Canada :(
Thank you for this video. Just got my lap steel and this has always been my favorite lap steel song.
Very nicely played....
It's tough to find good lap steel lessons so I'm going to check into this...
The last DVD I bought was Cindy Cashdollar....a fine artist, but I didn't have as many strings as she did....
Turned out to be an only so-so value for me....
This appears to be more of what I am looking for!
Thank you. This is a great breakdown and really opened me up to that harmonics+slide technique. 😃
really good cover, and GREAT step by step!
i like the way you teach
Great video. Am currently using it to learn "sleep walk" on my Fender lap steel. Hope to see more.
I've been to Richie Valens crash site in Iowa and played this song at the scene, there's a heavy feeling there even 60 years later
Great video, Going to get the DVDs as soon as I can. I've had a lap steel one a year trying to learn without any real instruction. Hoping your videos and ebook will help.
I purchased your DVD online and it is full of good teaching - packed with great learning - thanks bud will be back for more soon..
Jan.2023 - I’m just seeing this now. I thought your performance was terrific. IMHO Santo+Johnny’s version set the gold standard for how a steel guitar should sound. You did a great job of recreating their sound and vibe, especially the harmonics. Bravo!
Thanks, Screwball! ;) joe
@@joedocmusic Joe - do you sell the lessons on any medium other than CD? My new computer no longer has a cd/dvd player.
@@ScrewballMcAdams Yes - the DVDs are also available as download (MP4 files plus the Ebook & Audio) : www.joedocmusic.com/learn-to-play-c6-lap-steel-guitar/
cheers, joe
@@joedocmusic Thanks. Will check it out.
Just Got my beginner lap steel today. 6 Strings. I have a Dunlop Bullet Bar and A Shub Bar. I am excited to learn. Thank you for the channel. VERY GOOD. At age 71 this makes me feel young again. Something new on the guitar.
VERY NICE AND A GREAT SOUND
Loving that sound. What a great track, makes me want to make myself a laptop...
... which I did, but I don't sound as good as this version, the best I've heard anywhere so far...
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Nice job... Been tinkering with C6 lap steel for a while... Video has inspired me to spend more time on it and hope to play as well as you someday.. Thanks
I got a lap steel for Chrismtas. Your video course took me from wtf to having fun in one day. I really love the instrument and your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Sarah! So glad you like the course. Happy New Year!
joe
I just got my first lap steel this morning
!! First song to learn !! Thank you so much !!!
This song to me put the steel into eternal classic mode enjoyed!!!!
Fantastic video. Been wanting to learn how to play this song on lap steel for a while, and this video was a perfect lesson!!
I didn't notice any flubs on your part, but I can understand that when you are performing something live, you are going to notice everything you mess up, because you know exactly how it's supposed to sound. Sleepwalk is so cool. Keep up the good work!
I always thought it was originally a shadow's tune. still its fabulous and I love the harmonics.....cheers Joe
Hi Joe,
You make an amazing sound...waiting on your dvd's and Have a Rogue on way from USA.......
great teaching and playing, very nice sound
Nicely done! I'd love to hear your rendition of Teardrop!
Very nice!! Thanks for sharing
Very nicely done
Excellent cover well done!
great lesson thanks gonna order this Sx lap steel!! Rod London
That's a hell of a tone for such a low-priced lap steel! I think I'm gonna have to get one :-)
Many thanks for posting :-)
Pete
What model is it?
@@bgoumas Looks like a Rondo. www.rondomusic.com/ I have the Black SX3 and it's the same guitar and sounds just as great!
Wow! This is wonderful. Thank you.
great lesson!
That is just really great, sounds so good.
Thanks so much! :) joe
very nice warm, sweet P90 tone.
I really enjoyed this
Just excellent!
Thia is fantastic...an actual lesson on 6 string lap steel..thank you so much for posting this
Nice tone!!!
Very cool. Thanks for your post.
This is so wonderful to learn C6 tuning for sleepwalk! Thanks!
sweet tone!
My new go to video. Excellent tutorial. I'm ready to explore C6 tuning.
+Larry Kendrick Yeah me too, This sold me…nice guy speaking very clearly on one cool Lap Steel…~ Loo
Thank you for the great lesson, I got a steel lap for X-mas from my dad and its his birthday this weekend and I will be playing this song to him as my gift. Thanks again
Beautiful.
sweet.....I'm thinking of getting one.......
Excellent playing, lesson etc. I'm a newbie to this style of playing ! MT
Curious to me as to why someone would vote this video down. Beautiful touch and tone.
Walter Caldwell My thoughts exactly.They must not like either lap steel or the tune,which begs the question why are they watching in the first place.Unless it's envy of course.....
+kingstumble My 1st thought was -17? What's not to like here...Talent scares many people.Maximum Respect ~ Loo
Simple........
JEALOUSY
probably because its not precisely accurate to the original, its a simplified version. but a nice version and helpful
You underestimate how many miserable people out there want to drag you into their hole of misery to be miserable with them.
Great sound !!
After buying numerous cheaper c6 books and dvds and being very disappointed with the all of them I bought the 2 disk set off ebay. I wish I'd bought these first. They pretty much contain everything I need to at least play along with my backing tracks at home. I think it will be a long time of practice to outgrow these dvds but at least I cant blame the teaching anymore. I can already play sleepwalk respectably after a month of learning, and im picking up so many tips just by watching bits every day. like today ive learned just bending one string I turn all the top minors into major chords. seems simple but I never would have thought to do it. fully recommend these dvds and e book. I didnt think i would need the ebook but its more in depth than just watching the dvd... learning to love my lap steel...
Thanks Dave! So glad you dig the course. Happy pickin! - joe
Aaaaaah finally a cover so near at the original!!!
Thanks just what I have been looking for !!Keep up the good work !!!
Very Cool, one of my favorite songs as well,,,,Thanks for the View.
It never ceases to amaze me how there could possibly be people who give an astounding performance such as this a "thumbs down"! It just reveals their lack of musical sense, or lack of appreciation...possibly envy or jealousy, who knows?
no class or either drunk beyond rational thinking
beautiful
Great video, thanks for sharing
Never mind upon reading more and setting the wayback machine I found that you used GHS C6th strings, so I'm good to go as that is what I put on my Tiesco from the Sixties.
This is soooo beautiful..
great lesson..clear explanation and very well played..thank you !!!
Really good. Thanks 🙏
This was awesome! I don't see too many videos that are beginner friendly for lap guitar. Thanks for the help!!
Thanks for the kind words :) joe
Excellent.
Awesome!
FABULOUS ‼️
very nice joe!
One of the best tuition lessons on the tube Joe, very easy to follow. I just subbed and ordered DVD's 1 and 2 from Amzn...I have an old SX thats been sitting around for years and just could not find the motivation to learn how to play it. I play guitar...Uke..Mandolin..Fiddle. I started Sleepwalk yesterday and I'll give the family a surprise concert in a week or so.
Regards John.
Thanks for all the help with my DVD order. I appreciate the time and effort. Not being computer savvy I had a. little trouble, but with your help I am on track, and my lessons are coming along just great..... Thanks again.... Lena
+Lena Head Great to hear! Always glad to help. best wishes, joe
This is so beautiful ♥️🙏🏼
Thank you very much for the video!!! It inspired me so much that I made my own lapsteel from ashwood with a lipstick pickup salvaged from a tele. The only problem is I can't make up my mind about the tuning. I'm considering C6 and DADGAD
