This kind of an experiment with slants using a high D string. The same notes are there two frets back on strings 2 (E) and 4 (A), but it's a little easier to hit them with the wider spread between string 1 (D) and 5 (G).
I'm not really interested in trying to make the lap steel sound like a pedal steel, but it's nice to know where this kind of stuff is just in case.
The Clinesmith is going straight from the volume pedal into a Silverface Princeton Reverb.

| So this is C6 with a D on top instead of E? It sounds great! It really does sound a lot like a pedal steel. Gotta give this a try... |

Fantastic! Those reverse to forward slants are incredible! Tone is soooo good.

| Thanks for watching and commenting. This steel has a usable tone way up the neck. It doesn't get shrill or plunky. The meaty sound makes it easier to play in tune, too - there's a good solid fundamental note so you always know where you are, and how far out of tune you are... |

Really impressive. I've never had a steel that didn't lose lots of tone and sustain on the upper frets. |

Great playing Justin.
The Aluminum Clinesmiths are just amazing steels. Great intonation all the way up the neck and they are sustain monsters.....seemingly endless. |
