    The song is "Dobro Island" by the great Mike Auldridge.
    Pretty good ear you have Megan for not hearing it for so long.

    I've been so enthralled with the instrument since I first saw you play it here about a year ago. It just seems such an appropriate addition to everything you add it to, second to your voices, of course.
    Time after time, you, and your sister, have taken so many of the unbeatable-classics and given them back to us in that way that puts a lump in my throat, most every time. Amazing! I can just close my eyes and hear them in a new way that makes me love them all over again!
    Now, you are one of the first I've seen to put up a few quick lessons for the instrument and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather learn a some of the unseen, subtle nuances from.
    Thanks and please, do more!

    The Frets act as handy guide lines so you can see where to move the slide. I use John Pearse Lap Steel Strings cause the company that makes them was started by the Guitarist, John Pearse. John Pearse also played a Martin 00-18H Lap Steel Guitar which was converted to a Standard Spanish Style Guitar later on down the road.

I've upgraded the tuning machines. Some day I'll upgrade that thin-sounding strat pickup they put on there and maybe the bridge and then I'll have a nice steel. I know, that's a lot but I'm kinda attached to that steel. My steel-playing friends kinda like it too but they have the same complaints as me and the same compliments as well.

      @@martincloud1323 Seems like Megan is too busy to answer : the lap-steel is a Rickenbacker made one, but with an added part that she designed with a man working in the steel industry I believe (friend of her parents). This is to make it possible to play the instrument while standing up...Don't know if it adds sonic power to her lap steel or not. Dont think it's available yet (possibly some signature model would come out some day)...😊
