Dana_V Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Way back in November I bought @zenmindbeginner's Seymour Duncan Little '59 pickup and put in my cheapie Rogue lap steel. The original pickup was weak, single-coil garbage, but it sounds much better now. Thanks, Geoff! Here it is on "Tough Times," originally written and recorded by John Brim (of "Ice Cream Man" fame) in 1953. I've been playing open-G on lap steel for quite a while, but this is my first foray into open-E on a lap. So my vocabulary of open-E licks is still a work in progress.

tomteriffic Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I went with a Duncan Hot Rails on the same model. Not because it was any better or worse than a Little '59, but because it was free. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorch Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Cool playing! The only one thing I had associated with lap steel was country so far. But yes, it’s simply slide playing regardless of genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Sounds great! I need to spend more time on my lap steel. I play it in open G & E as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
