Lessons with Steve #4 - Open C Tuning for lap-style guitar - playing in a major key

This mini-lesson on the Weissenborn lap steel is about the glorious Low C tuning I use all the time. It is (low to high) CGCGCD (sometimes I make the high string another C, or an Eb, sometimes an E, but rarely). In this video I go into some detail about how to make this tuning work in a major key. There is really nothing in the tuning that defines it as minor, so it just depends on how you approach it. You can hear it on my song "Polaroid" from the album "Gone, Long Gone" if you want to hear it in action.
These are short 10-15 minute lessons about various things - slide guitar, pedal steel, recording, etc. I'll be releasing these randomly as the inspiration strikes. Please hit the subscribe button and if you've got a question or an idea for another one, let me know in the comments!
