She's made up her own technique and it's better than many players who've studied for years.

That's great! Made my day.

And, just to bring this closer to the steel guitar community, she even invented her own version of 'spinning the bar' as a part of her technique!

Pretty cool all the way around.

Her beer-drinking audience-of-one seems completely bored and disinterested. I guess some things never change... :\

It's amazing what humans with inherent musical ears can come up with. Thanks for posting. I like the fretboard wear on 5th and 7th fret and a couple of spots on the 8th fret. She's hit those places a few times.
I noticed her "beer drinking audience" plays on some other clips. He has a more conventional technique.
