i just recently bought an asher electro hawaiian junior lap steel. it is a completely different animal than a "regular" guitar, but, it has finally allowed me to become more of a fingerpicker. i love using the steel but the fingerpicks do take some getting used to.

i'm presently using open d with string guages of 15-58. i love the sound of that huge d. i'd like to try c6 but i'll have to get a different set of strings with a 36 on the bottom first. that is a real county/western swing tuning that i'll eventually have to try.

i have to say that cindy cashdollar and paul franklin are my favorite steel players.

play music!
