Now placing in the top 3 of my favorites! I am watching your moves, hands and fingers the way you just blend and intensify such gorgeous compositions! Wonderful!❤ your playing is so smooth! Thx
This sounds like a classic! I just realized you wrote it. That's a beautiful hook, vintage 50's Hawaiian guitar! Thanks for the inspiration and the tabs!
Jerry Byrd once said, "There are 2 ways to play the steel guitar; 1. From the brain to the hands and 2. From the brain through the heart and then to the hands". Later Jerry added to this by saying, "There are 3 ways to play music; Melody, melody and melody!" I will say without hesitation that Doug epitomizes the above as few can. Thank you Doug kind Sir for what you have shared with us. May Jesus continue to bless you with talents a "cut-above".
Its freezing here but as I listen to your music, i'm lapping up the rays, sipping a rum concoction from a coconut shell while a warm breeze touzels my hair and the balmy waves touch the shore.... Thanks Doug!
Geez Doug! I wish I had discovered your channel years ago! Such beautiful music. The warm tones and perfect playing of the steel goes right through my soul. I now listen to you every day to improve my mood and make my day. If you have any CD's or sell any of your music please let us know how and where to buy. I'll be the first one in line. Keep making that wonderful music brother!
Thanks! The BIAB is a Rhumba style. I took the bass, drums, and keyboard from BIAB and I played live guitar and ukulele to fill out the track. I'm glad you like it!
😄@@dougsteel 😀 Seem Like the Older I Get..( 69 ) The more Stuff I Cram Into My Studio...Ha Ha Ha ... When I Croak... My Wife Miss Robin , is gonna Have a Hard Time a Fight'in off all of my friends and Students over the 20 some years of teach'in.. Who calmed I Left them This amp of that Fiddle or Guitar.. Or Motorcycle...😅😅
Lucked out and found a new one on sale in Edmonton, Alta. About half the list price so down from over-priced to quite reasonable. Canadian dollar is 75 cents US right now so not a good time to buy guitars from the States. Then I saw your video of bending behind the bar...Ha. Will try that on my late 50s National or early 60s Fender. Not cheap but pretty low cost guitars.
It's a pleasure to listen to you, an absolute pleasure. I just started learning lap steel...a new chapter in my life, you see I've been a professional bassist for the last 38 years and the band is starting to slow down a little and this is something I've been wanting to do for some time now. I've been searching youtube for ideas, lessons, plans for building etc...so far I've been lucky...there's a lot of info out there and I'm glad I found your videos, thanks for posting them! Ps: where do you find all those wonderful old lap steels...the old instruments are so cool.
Thanks, and best of luck in your new venture! Steel guitar is a great instrument. I've been playing for 45 years and I've bought and sold a lot of vintage steels. Many of the ones that I played in my videos have been sold. I usually have about 8 or 10 at any time. Enjoy your lap steel.
Beautiful playing and a beautiful song Doug. I bought your two C6 books a few years ago and am still using them. I've given this song a shot and really like the B11 tuning.
New subbie here!😊 You should get a CD together of all your tunes. This is fabulous! I would actually listen to this to fall asleep to! Blessings, Washington State USA
Thank you I just purchased a new beginner steel. This is inspiring. I will have to look for some backing tracks. I have a 65 Silvertone Bass Amp with a 15 Inch speaker. I think this will sound good thru it. Thanks again.
That's a gorgeous tune, Doug! I have the same instrument, but mine says "Airline" near the bridge rather than having that square type design. Interesting, because other than that small detail, they are identical
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Valco Co. in Chicago built lap steels for any company that would place a certain minimum order. Airline was the "store brand" they made for Mongomery Ward department stores. They made Silvertone guitars and amps for Sears stores. This Valco lap steel is exactly like an Airline, but as you said, it has no logo. It's possible that they made a few no-name ones to sell to teaching studios that were not dealers. In any event, I call mine an Airline because it's easier than explaining to people that it was built in the same factory and to the same specs as Airline. Thanks again! 😎
I`ve neveer been too crazy about Hawiian music,but you`ve swayed me a little! Just picked up a cheap 6 string lap steel-been out of music many years.Your playing got me interested again! There`s NO way I could handle a pedal steel.I`m67 yrs old-just getting my fingers working again.Thanks for the inspiration-After hearing your playing,I decided to not GIVE UP YET!
Outstanding! Have not heard this song before it's very nice. I'm loving the B11 tuning. And this particular steel (brand?) sounds beautiful and yet really has some teeth too! Anything unusual regarding amp and effects? Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks! The reason you haven't heard this song before... I just wrote it last week! It's one of my originals. The lap steel is a 1958 Airline, made by Valco Co. It was considered to be student grade when it was made, but nowadays players like them for their unique tone. I'm playing the steel through a Peavey Nashville 112. No effects. Line out of the amp into the computer.
Doug Beaumier Wow! Well, you compose as well as you play and what more can I say about that! You are a master craftsman! So, is there any reverb or anything at all built into the amp? The depth and sustain is so fat! If I may, what recording software are you using on the computer? Thanks for the great song!!!
Yes, there is reverb in the amp. This lap steel has a string-through pickup, a unique design... the strings pass through the pickup, the magnets are on each end of the pickup, not under each string. It makes for a fat, sometimes overdriven sound. I use Audacity (a free program) to record. For the backing tracks I use band-in-a-box for bass and drums, and I play live guitar and uke, and add to the track. Lastly I add the steel guitar while video recording.
Thanks, I'm not up on the latest entry-level steels, but I have read some pretty good reviews on the SX. I've never played one though. All of the beginner steels are kind of flimsy and cheaply made, as expected. The one to Avoid is the Morrell, in my opinion. I would also avoid any lap steel priced under about $150. If you want to get a better quality lap steel at a reasonable price check out Melbert. About $400 for a USA hand made 6-string lap steel. Good quality for the money.

Hey Doug, When I took Hawaiian guitar lesson in 1946 in Chicago, my teacher introduced me to the B11 tuning. As best as I can remember it was Hi to Low: E C# A F# D# B. Is that how yours is tuned dear person?
Sweet sound, if you don't mind sayin'; what is the tuning you have you rig set to here? I play guitar and dobro as well as banjo, mandolin, dulcimer and yukelele so I would like to find a relative key to try playing along with this song.
OMG , I did not realize this was composed by you . Bravo Doug !!! This tune has the real feel of of a great song that could have originated from the 40's . Beautiful beautiful job Doug , as always . Your playing technique is such an inspirartion for guys like myself . Thank You so much .
Thanks Phillip! B11 tuning has such a haunting and mysterious sound, and that’s what I was going for here. I was looking for something exotic sounding, kind of vintage 1940-ish. The tuning was perfect for this. It just wouldn’t sound the same on C6. Thanks again! 😎
Doug I have a airline lap steel I have just got from a friend. Sn x90746 I have been unsuccessful on finding how old it is. I play acoustic guitar but never messed with steel. I’m interested in getting all information I can on this awesome instrument. If you can be of any help I would appreciate it. Thanks Kerry Murphy

@@dougsteel thank you for your help. Do you know they have a value other than the joys of the sound and learning how to play it? I will never get rid of it because always wanted one!
No trick. Just hang on to it. 😎 Put the middle finger and the thumb on each side of of the bar, pressing inward, and put the first finger on top and press down on it slightly.
Doug Beaumier My skin on my hands are kind of dry and dont grip the polished slide that well . I do really like your video help and I am picking up Moon tide and Country String Pulls . I'M starting to get the technique. You make look and sound so easy . Thanks
Now placing in the top 3 of my favorites! I am watching your moves, hands and fingers the way you just blend and intensify such gorgeous compositions! Wonderful!❤ your playing is so smooth! Thx

New tune to me. Great playing, Doug. Your intonation gives me hope.
Thanks, Peter. Keep pickin' and keep lovin' it!
Just ordered a Duesenberg Pomona 6, Doug. Looking forward to trying the benders for the first time. Still learning and still loving it.
I've never played a Duesenberg, but I've heard them on videos. A nice sound, but they're expensive! I like cheapo lap steels!

@@dougsteel One of the things that really impresses me, the more I try to play this song, is your phrasing. It's very subtle and clever.

Awesome, can't believe the tone and beautiful sound! I never hear anything on the radio that is beautiful anymore only garbage!
Thanks Jim! Glad you like it. Yeah, I quit listening to the radio years ago. I’m stuck in the past and I like it there! 😁
Amen to trash on the radio.
Great music! Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous! Love the song Doug.
Now, how do you make your accompanying music?
Thanks Greg, I use a program called band-in-a-box for bass & drums only. I add live guitar and uke, and steel guitar.
Damn that was nice!
Glad you like it! 😎

Спасибо за прослушивание!
A beautiful job on a beautiful tune. What tuning are you using on your lap steel Doug?
Thanks! The tuning is B11
This just kills me!!
Glad you like it! 😎
Fantastic . Doug, you've probably been asked this a million times, but what beginning C6 lap steel do you recommend? Will that SX thing do?
Thanks, I'm not up on the latest entry-level steels, but I have read some pretty good reviews on the SX. I've never played one though. All of the beginner steels are kind of flimsy and cheaply made, as expected. The one to Avoid is the Morrell, in my opinion. I would also avoid any lap steel priced under about $150. If you want to get a better quality lap steel at a reasonable price check out Melbert. About $400 for a USA hand made 6-string lap steel. Good quality for the money.
pretty notes brother
Thanks for checking it out.
Wondering how many instruments you have in your collection?
Keep up the good work!

At one time I had about 15 steel guitars, but now I'm to 5. Most of the steels seen in my older videos have been sold.

Hey Doug,
When I took Hawaiian guitar lesson in 1946 in Chicago, my teacher introduced me to the B11 tuning. As best as I can remember it was Hi to Low: E C# A F# D# B.
Is that how yours is tuned dear person?
I'm using the same B11 tuning: high to low: E C# A F# D# B
Great sound what is your string gauges ?
Just as beautiful as Sleepwalk. Singles? You have the stuff. Len
Thanks! This is an original tune of mine. I tuned my lap steel to B11 and the melody just popped out! Glad you like it. 😎
Great popping!
Reminds me of the macross runner ending song
Please tell me this tuning. Thank you for the wonderful music.

Excellent playing Sir. In which scale tuned.

What is the trick to keep the slide from slipping out of your hand ? Do you use a hand prep or super glue ?
No trick. Just hang on to it. 😎 Put the middle finger and the thumb on each side of of the bar, pressing inward, and put the first finger on top and press down on it slightly.
