[G] _ Well they say that the mother of [A] invention is necessity, so what I have here is what
I'm calling my lap paul.
[A#] _ The _ new band I'm [N] in is calling for some steel guitar, and I can emulate the steel guitar
fairly well on the telecaster, but obviously you can't do it as well as a real steel guitar
pedal steel guitar. _
So what I've done is I've taken a [B] guitar that I actually haven't played it for years, _ it's
real heavy, _ [A#] and I've just gravitated [A] more towards my [A#] telecaster.
[N] I've taken this Epiphone and I've tuned it to a C6 tuning.
C6 is a fairly common lap steel _ guitar tuning.
It has a 6 [A] right here, [C] the A. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And _ [N]
the only thing that I've actually bought for it right
now _ is this nut lift.
And what it is, it's a nickel _ _ nut that sits right above the regular nut.
See that? _ _ _
So I didn't have to cosmetically alter the guitar in any way.
And now I've raised my strings _ _ _ substantially off the neck to make it more like a lap steel.
_ So it was kind of nice to find a home for this guy.
I know that the tuning is hard on the neck, _ _ _ _ but _ frankly I just don't really care.
So I'm using the guitar, it's getting put to good use, I'm actually going to be gigging
with it now.
What I've done also, other than the C6 tuning _ _ and using the nut lift, _ _ is I had a Hipshot
B-bender that was on my telecaster.
_ And I use 9s when I play on my tele because I do a lot of string bends, so the intonation
in the tuning _ was kind of a little tricky with this little guy.
So, but on the lap steel, or on the lap-paw as I'm calling it, I have thicker strings.
You can see how a Hipshot B-bender works as opposed to a regular B-bender, _ is that _ _ there's
literally a metal pole that comes down, they call it a Hipshot because you put it up against
your hip and you push.
Now, what I've also done is I've taken just an on-stage _ triple hanger guitar stand.
If you take this off, you can see it's nothing but a guitar stand.
See that? _ _ _ _
And this guitar is real heavy, and this makes a little perfect platform for _ _ _ it to sit right there.
And like I said, the guitar is _ _ heavy, and I have to put it right about here.
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to secure it, but right now, since the guitar is so
heavy that the weight holds it in, I put my feet up here, _ see, right up here.
I'll try to get in there so you can see it.
My feet sit on the stand like this, and then I can activate the B-bender by pushing it.
_ So [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
now you can see that it goes up when I push it with my leg. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ But the bottom line is, well, how does [N] it sound?
Is it _ _ accurate?
Does it really emulate _ a steel?
Well, _ it emulates a lap steel for sure, because _ it's a C6 tuning, and it's set up like a lap
steel, a six-string lap steel.
_ _ And another thing that I find is I like the humbuckers on here, but this is all personal
preference for me, so it gives me a bit of a beefier [A#] sound.
_ So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and plug it in, and [N] I'm going to play
to a little backing track that I made, because this is _ the first _ lap Paul song that I'm learning.
_ And I am new to this, so all you great lap steel and pedal steel players out there, you're
going to listen to this and go, pfft.
So _ there you go, but hey, we all got to start [F] somewhere. _
