Near the Cross on my Rickenbacher B6 (postwar).
Famous gospel tune played in the Hawaiian Style,
inspired by the fantastic version of Sol Hoopii.
The tuning I use is C#minor, (Hi to Low: E C# G# E B G#)
Hope you like it !ðŸ˜

That made my morning! Hymns are such a natural for the steel guitar, and the gospel catalog of Sol (and Bud Tutmarc for that matter) often get overlooked, but such lovely playing.
I enjoy your playing as always, Sebastian! |

Thank you so much for all your kind commends, yes, it was about time that I feature my B6 in one of my videos. It was the first proper steel guitar that I purchased, and I think a postwar B6 is one of the best deals in used steel guitars, I got mine for around $1000.
Thanks again for the support and Aloha
Sebastian

Beautiful, Sebastian. I second the emotion that it's joyous to hear you on a bakelite guitar, and overdue too! Our instrument has diverse styles, and I agree with Scott that these particular ones are too easily missed.
I love to see you show some of the biggest idiosyncrasies of the steel guitar - whether it's the slow, emotive slurs, the rapid trills which fluctuate in speed, or the purity of tone to which many of us strive.

Aloha Sebastian,
As others are saying this hymn has a special meaning to me also and your playing the hymn on your Rickenbacher was so nahe nahe - soft and sensitive. Mahalo nui.
I met you some years back in Hawaii.
I owned the same Rickenbacher S-6 and sold it to a young Hawaiian lady who is a student of Alan Akaka. I wanted my guitar to have its home in Hawaii. She loved it. |

Thank you so much Levi and Don !
Don, yes, we met at the Steel Guitar Festival in Honolulu, it was 2013,
wow, already 8 years ago. It was a very nice event, hope to join another one in the future.
Kay Das filmed my performance at the Kapiolani Park, good old days : )
