Mapuana Hawaiian Steel Guitar
Вставка

- This was recorded in Northern California in 2013. I am playing a lap steel I made over twenty years ago. It's an 8 string with what I call the Hawaiian Leavitt tuning. At the time of this recording I knew I loved this song but I had never learned to play the bridge so I just made something up and about a year later I began to regret not playing it properly. So, please forgive me if this "replacement" bridge bothers you. The ukulele player is Steven Strauss.
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to post such nice compliments. Steven and I both thank you all.
My husband would love to hear more he’s learning to play the steel guitar and he’s 88 years young.
Beautiful. Just like swaying under the coconut palms with a cool breeze coming over from the ocean. Greetings from Australia.
Thank you. What part of Australia are you in?
You Show me, how to Play " MAPUANA ". Thank you. Verrrry much. CARLO MR. STEEL. VIENNA ,AUSTRIA.🌴🌴
Great job on this tune, and that's a great looking lap steel. Nice build. Man, ukulele and lap steel go together about as well as bacon and eggs, well, even better, no doubt about it.
Beautifully done and nice accompaniment by Steve on the ukulele😎🌈🌺🤙🏽
Thank you for this guitar technique and ukele from both of you. Interested in it and want to learn
Very nice! Thanks from Uruguay (South America)
Thank you. Nice to hear fr Uruguay:-)
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Makes for all day listening!!!!❤️
Sweet sweet Mapuana, Aloha I love you.....
This is so good, no words.
Great performance of lap steel guitar and ukulele from both of you! Wish both of you good life, and enjoying your moments!
What a delight! Exquisite playing by both of you, and thank you very much for sharing.
I agree with all, Proper melodic music with feeling, melody and harmony, unlike the so called 2 &3 chord 'hits' of today, with their constant repetitive2 and 3 chord bass accompanyments.Lovely listening Thanks Guys.

That's freeway traffic in the valley below! As the music died out the mics turned up to hear the ambient roar.
Apparently someone accidentally clicked the thumbs down button ;-)
Inspiring.
I make and play lapsteel guitars. This is the sound of peace.
Bob, Thanks for the compliment. Can I see the steel guitars you make? Do you have a website or something?
Beautiful.
Thank you. Where are you from?
@@CharcoalPencilPusher Oakland. I'm a friend of Steve's.
Oh. Did Steven tell you about it or did you just find it on your own?
Nicely done, Big Kahuna Don!
a bass player backing you up would be nice, but both of you are great musicians . that is some fancy rhythm playing on the ukulele and the steel playing is beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful gentlemens, mahalo
hawaiian music is the best that was invented by mankind
hawaiian and bossa nova music was always my favorite types of music. from jerry byrd to jobim.
This is great music!
Wonderful!
Very nice duet. I play 6 string lap steel tuned C6, but I am not familiar with this tuning. I find my self having to use a lot of slant positions with tone bar when playing Hawaiian style songs. Maybe your tuning is more suitable. Have a good day.
Hi. Thanks for the nice comment. I suggest you look into the tuning I used. The tuning is disscribed in some of the other comments. It has a full diminished chord in it and a major 7th note as well as a 6th chord. The secret of this tuning is the versatility of the diminished chord.
Mahalo

@@brutalmaniactv3870 Thank you, Don
Maks me wanna lay on a beach with a pineapple drink in a bathing suit under the Honolulu sun
Very nice sound, can you still remember the pickup you used in this guitar, because it sounds a lot like the horse-shoe pickups from early 1932. Thanks.
I do not remember the brand of pick-up I was using.
Gov. Jerry Brown?
pretty
Thank you. I can't believe how quickly time has passed since we did this in the back yard. The good old days.
Can you expound more on your tuning please? I play an 8 string 1954 Fender Stringmaster.
The tuning is a
B6th/Adim I guess.
String one - Bb (1/2 step lower than string 3)
String two - Eb
Three - B
Four - G#
Five - F#
Six - Eb (1 octive lower than string 2)
Seven - C
Eight - A
Notice that the bottom 4 strings make a full diminished chord. And the top string (Bb) is very valuable for chording. It's a very good tuning.
I used a 10 string tone bar which I would recommend. I don't play anymore. Thanks for asking.

This sounds just like SpongeBob SquarePants
And there's not a darn thing wrong with that! I'm 64, and when my 27 year old daughter is in town, we watch The Bob of Spongeness just like we did when she was little.
The Blue Hawaiins (great band) play SpongeBob song

The lap steel guitar was invented by Joseph Kekuku Upenakana'i in 1886 while the ukulele was introduced in 1879 by Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii.
And?.....
@@CharcoalPencilPusher they were both detrimental in the modernization of Hawaiian music.
Is this a joke? I don't get it.
@@donmcclellan1190 nope! This is history
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Thank you for sharing that bit of history. Your comment further inspired me to read up about the steel guitar. Blessings!🌸
What is the tuning on your guitar?
from top to bottom I think he's going Bb, Eb, B, G#, F#, Eb, C, A
DogTheWateringCan thank you
