Nice! Super tasty improv.

Very cool Mike, you definitely captured the vibe. I love the Yngwie lick at 1:51, and the sacred steel lick at 1:58…you’re speaking my language man!

I love Christine's music & playing. Great guitarist too, her work with Bahamas is super tasteful & in the pocket.

I was thinking more "Twilight Zone" and then Django entered the room. Exceptional stuff.

Yeah, I can hear what you're saying. Thanks man.

Zappa's fave composer!

Didn't know that, but it makes sense!

This is my take on an excerpt from Satie’s Gnossienne 4…absolutely hauntingly beautiful piece of music.

Sounds great Mike .That tone is very unique, I can really hear your musical voice coming through.

When I grow up, I want my pinky finger to be as strong as yours.

Haha...you'll need that extra strength to keep all of the lap steel groupies at bay.

Thanks Steve. Really nice. Just this week I was working on minors in open D — great timing, and love the pinky-pull mini tuning adjustment on slants.

Something about the chaos of combining slants ...

5 different movable shapes, full R-m3-5 minor triads, using a combination of open strings, slants and pulls.

Thanks Tim!

I really like it - and unconventional - are you just using a flat pick and fingers? What’s that third steel?

Thanks Al. Yep, flatpick and bare fingers. The third steel is a cheap no-name that I� ...

Can always put it back in E6, my home tuning on bigger rig. Some cool choke, string pull possibilities also.

Which E6 tuning do you use?

Really enjoying this tuning. Just getting back into 6 string playing, have 4 six stringers and this is going on one for sure. This, C6, and open E will be fun to experiment with, esp with retuning opt ...

Thanks Bill.

Not sure…most of the Sacred players I know play primarily 8-string, or pedal steel. The intervallic relationships are very similar in different 6th chord tunings though, just occurring on different ...

I'm pretty certain it's E6...E B E G# C# E low to high

I just came across this video from last year when I first got my BR-9…love the tone.

I love the way this style sounds with a horseshoe pickup.

That is the most convincing 6 string lap steel emulation of a pedal steel I have heard. Well done!

Thanks a lot Tim!

I'm going to be in ATL next week. Any chance you're gigging in the area next week?

Maybe you can grab one of these shows?

R-3-4-5-6-R, low to high. Has anyone heard this tuning used before?
