Greetings from the UK. Wish I was as good a “not much of a guitarist” as you! But a great lesson in layering and building parts, whatever the instrument. Just beginning my journey with a Weissenborn and am kinda struggling with ‘trad’ lap techniques so this is a nice boost to my confidence to follow a more personal path to making music with this instrument.
@14;57 you reminded me of how i used to answer people when they asked how i played sometimes. I had to say that I'm really not sure; i just had to figure it out with whatever knowledge i had at the time. btw; i Just started with steel. Thanks so much for sharing. definitely subscribed!! ♫
This is a SUPER helpful lesson! Thanks so much! As a singer and guitar player, I find myself switching to a regular electric guitar while singing and then to the lap steel for solos. Great to see that you can express yourself harmonically on the lapsteel too! I've got a lot of work to do 🙂
This is great! Leave some space, play to the song, and reinforce the groove without getting in the way. What great watch and lesson. Matt dropping some wisdom nuggets here for sure. Man thanks for the time and effort put into this. ❤️ #tonematters 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼
I'd seen the MPC X in advertisements, but I never realized how massive it is until this video. Wow. Great video. When you played the rock rhythm on lap steel, that really opened my eyes to the possibilities. Never seen a lap steel play heavier rock music!
Makes a lot of sense! Thanks Matt, I appreciate the effort you're putting into these tutorials. Beard is impressive too! Ok, now I need to play some drum track and try putting this into practice.
Hanx great tones,love the heavier rock style,will be keen to upgrade from my current recording king,to something that sounds as throaty as whatever your lap steel is cheers from south oz
I live in Thailand, you can't buy lap steels here so I just finished making my own. Historically I'm a poor bassist and a terrible strumming acoustic guitarist. I know nothing about music theory, I have "trigger finger" (stenosing tenosynovitis) and a touch of arthritis in my left hand so can't form chords or move between chord shapes quickly. So obviously I'm the perfect person to play a new instrument which I know nothing about. I have tried to find someone who could give me some basic lessons but with no luck, it's possible I have the only lap steel guitar in the country and would like to be able to make some reasonable noises when I play. I love blues and rock and looking at other instruction channels, the sounds you make, the rhythm and tone seem to make you the perfect instructor for a very novice player like me! 😄 Sorry... So I have a question that might be obvious to everyone but we stay stupid by not asking obvious questions. At about the 36:30 mark you talk about numbers, as you do in other parts of the video, is it the string numbers, or a note numbering system that forms the construction of the chord "everyone" knows but that I have somehow never learnt?

@@David-jb6ev thanks! Hope it helps!
love how this subtly reveals your process through the lesson. I sense your restraint from wanting to rip into it. as always, thanks cat man.

It's a big boy! Glad you dug the vid!
Thank the algorithm gods, your channel has come to me at the perfect time.
Awesome! Enjoy it!
This was EXTREMELY helpful in nailing down some questions and concepts that I have been struggling to articulate.
Thanks!
That's another one of your great lessons, Matt. Thanks for sharing your ideas, techniques, I really appreciate it.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hell yeah! Get it!

I have a bunch of lap steel lessons up! If you go through the first 3, it'll all be explained!
Nice lesson!
Thanks!
c'est moi où on dirait du Ben Harper " Amen Omen"; it seems like Ben Harper (Amen Omen), np?
Same chords! Very common progression.
