It is-Greg shows the perfect example of less is more.

Beautiful song and performance by all. Jackson pulls out a great sound and Greg just "nailed" it!

Very nice! I'm assuming that Mai Leisz is Greg's daughter or wife?
Regards, Craig

Mai is Greg's wife and is a monster bass player.

Anyone know the tuning Greg is using for this arrangement of "Barricades of Heaven"? I'm just beginning with lap steel and this is a major stumbling block for me.

From Greg- "I think it was in the key of F so probably tuned FCFACF low to high" which is pretty typical open tuning 151351.

It has to be hard to play with Jackson and not try to emulate David Lindley because they compliment each other so well. It appears Greg has all the inside nuances of David’s style and he played this song beautifully! Interested to know what amp, pedals etc. he also included with the Ricky Panda to come up with this magnificent blend of tones. I love everything Greg Played with KD Lang and Joe Cocker and this has to be a musical high for him also! Inspiring!...thanks for sharing.
I thought Nashville was the roughest, but I know I’ve said the same about them all.
I received my education, drivin through the Nation listenin to Paul!.. ( Franklin that is! )
