Sounds great, Rick. There's a lot of soul in single string picking. I'm reminded of Santo Farina, who brought steel guitar to a worldwide audience in his day. Most of his melody playing was single notes, single strings. As others have said... it goes straight to the heart.

Thanks Doug … :mrgreen:

I took an old Scheerhorn bar and built up the front end with epoxy putty … it has a wide surface for rolling and a low center of gravity … ugly, but I like it :lol:

Here’s one with some basic harmony added … “Blue Hawaiian Moonlight”
