    Thanks, yes, some players use bare fingers. I prefer metal finger picks and a plastic thumbpick to get a stronger attack, more volume. I played pedal steel guitar before lap steel, so I'm used to finger picks.

  • @stillwater62

    The King would be proud to singalong with your accompaniment. I do wish you would try Elvis`s "Are You Lonesome Tonight". One of his very best, at least in my humble opinion. I know you could put a magic touch to that song that would keep me coming back till the day I die just to hear it one more time. Thanks for all you have done.

  • @robertpulliam9973
    @robertpulliam9973 3 роки тому

    Your playing makes me wish I had insisted on a steel guitar when I was 11 years old (1954), back then it was called Hawaiian guitar. My parents said guitars have to have other instruments with them so instead I learned accordion which I lost interest in by 16. Listening to you play steel it’s easy to see other instruments are not necessary. Your playing I could listen to all night.
