Hi all,

I just finished an instrumental album called "Armistice" conceptually based on the history of WWI. Every song is built around my Fender 400 playing a new copedent I came up with a couple months ago. If you're curious about those details you can read about them in this thread:

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=376030&sid=75d3acc29127629683bba86f18da5ed1

Anyway, the songs were all written and recorded in November with Armistice Day (which signaled the end of hostilities to WWI at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month) as the guiding concept.

The album is an instrumental work released under one of my one-man-bands, "The Alchemy of Atlantis" that seeks to portray 11 chronological concepts of WWI history that occurred during the war in 11 songs. To further honor the number 11, the total album running time is 33 minutes & 33 seconds Winking

The Fender 400 is the core of all songs and is augmented with M400 Mellotron and poly-synthesizer textures.

The album is available on my youtube playlist: "The Alchemy of Atlantis - Armistice" and can be found at:

Finally, an album that honors my birthday (11/11)!

Sounds good, Dennis. At some point, I think you said on the Forum that you play with a flat pick. 'How does he do that?' Now I get it. Seems that nearly everything here is strummed. Points for originality.

Thanks Tucker for listening and the kind words...and 11/11 is quite a birthday Winking

You're correct, for this tuning I do use a flat pick and strum everything. It's so much fun to play without having to think about which grip to use Laughing When I'm on my Extended D9 Mullen SD12 I don't use any picks and get a much rounder sound.
