Why do you say that, just because of the playing? She seems to show the full possibilities of the instrument but pro musicians often don't manage to do that when demoing or reviewing gear.
Wow. Thanks for all the details. Us guitar nerds love that. And you are the Hendrix/Clapton/Segovia of slide guitar. You belong up there with all of the greatest.
Megan Lovell has the cleanest slide style that I have ever heard. She makes very effective use of the fretless nature of the instrument without ever making it sound like the audio track for a horror movie starring Boris Karloff. I wish she had more time for making teaching materials. Still, right now these gals gotta go on tour!!
Paul Beard is a wizard! So glad you got this and thanks for sharing what it can do. You sound wonderful. What a tonal palette to explore. Look forward to seeing you on tour!
I am very grateful to know and hear this beautiful masterpiece and enjoying your playing made it fantastic mix. Regards from Iran/Tabriz. I love to listen your music sitting right here.very thanks.
Beautiful sound! You and your sister are amazing. I got to see you guys at Riverbend in Chattanooga. You guys rocked the festival better than anybody there. I was impressed with the showmanship when a technical issue was into a plus. Even got to have a short conversation with your dad. Great experience. Thanks for doing what you do.
Loved the demonstration of this gorgeous instrument's versatility of styles and tones. You can say it really resonated. 😉 In all seriousness though, you've inspired so many artists with your playing. Rock on, Megan! 🤘
Oh, Megan, I just love that Beard Road-O-Phonic Guitar you demo'ed! 😍 It's a beautiful, rich looking instrument. 💖 I just love the blending of lap steel and Dobro sounds. I love the resonator sounds; it sounds really nice when unplugged (you can serenade the rattlers in the middle of no place). 💖 Those pick-ups are excellent too! 😍 With this instrument, I can really see you going beyond the slide of all queens. 👍👍👍 Congratulations on acquiring this killer instrument, and I look forward to hearing future LP classics on it. 👍💖🎸😎
Saw LP at Santa Cruz 5/26/21. Great to see you after 14 months off! This is a fascinating episode...seven for a non musician....but I do hum a lot! Mostly to Larkin Pie! Love Ya!
Wow, i almost fainted when i heard you play it unplugged. So beautiful and responsive. For a little guy it sounds better than my full size dobro. Amazing. I am looking at one on reverb now. Doesn't have the same pickups though.
I'm 67 when I was young Steel Guitar meant USA Country I was Anti that for years as I mellow with the years I find cadence in your playing that I realise Have been their in my music all my life Thank You
The blend with the Fischman adds the most depth for sure. Love it!!! Got all my parts in for my bowling lane lap build. Super excited!! Gonna be a lot of wood chips flying!! I'll try to share a step-by-step process for this build but with my schedule it may take MONTHS. Thanks for sharing Megan!! Love that instrument!!
Wow! Like a National resonator and lap steel put together!! Beautiful sound! That will add a lot of colors to your pallet of tonal possibilities, Meg! 🎨😎🎶👏🏻☘
The Nationals were iconic for their Biscuit Bridge Cones . The Road o Phonic has a Spider Bridge . But the very thin body gives it a very different tone , so it's pretty unique sounding .
That could be great for recording. Mic it for acoustic tone, split the magnetic and piezo pickups to different amps or mixer channels and have the board operator ride the faders to move the tone around.
Did you ever watch Megan the RU-vid live Eric Clapton crossroad concert from 2007 that has Tulsa Time with Sheryl Crow singing Eric Albert Lee and Vince Gill but what's amazing is Jerry Douglas playing a telecaster like it's a dobro. It's absolutely amazing to watch that particular performance
very beautiful tones. doesnt matter what combo you pick. I hope to hear you do some Jerry Garcia soon. Teach your children. Or dire wolf. I have not heard anyone tackle those songs successfully. love your band.
Damn, that looks like so much fun! Playing lap steel almost looks like cheating compared to playing slide on a traditional guitar, but there's no points for difficulty in music! It's all about creating great sounds - the easier it is to do that, the better!
