I got a lap steel recently and it’s just the most heavenly sound and feeling. When done well, the steel guitar resonates deeper and any other electric instrument
The breakdown of what affects tone in electric instruments: 5% guitar construction, 25% pickup, 60% the right amplifier, and 10% convincing the guitarist that he really doesn't need eighty pedals, he needs to practice
HW: David Bowie was quoted in Rolling stone as having said ‘Rock ‘n Roll has always been the Devil’s music...You can’t convince me otherwise.’. Why would you think DB is experiencing peace right now? The bible tells you where children of Satan end up.
As soon as I can figure out how to learn the notes my way , I aim to learn this .I can see my neighbors on their porches with their ears in the wind in my mountains..
Imagine, the summer heat in a calm wind, brushing against your face as you drive down the countryside with your friends. This song comes on and you just enjoy your ride, life and the relief you feel as there is not a single problem on that ride.
Each chord change in the progression has its own resolution note (the bass note is distanced at least an octave from the melodic note). If I had to put it into words, I think about the scale of mountains or valleys, the melody makes me think of the height of adventure and the resolving bass notes make me think that home isn't just one place, its where you are and the people you're with, no matter how close or far you are from your actual home; home is where the heart is Idk why i felt like becoming a RU-vid philosopher slash music theorist lmao who knows i could be wrong and just talking out my ass but these are the emotions i feel
@@kdckrusia1744 That’s not true. The machines that make our lifestyle more sofisticated are controlled by us not by themselves. Of course machines can do things by themselves, but they are programmed to do those thing because of us.
This is absolutely 💯 bad a** to the bone. I truly loved this. Thank you so much and God bless you a million times for posting this great music and especially on a lapsteel slide guitar.
This was uploaded a day after David Bowie's life ended all too soon and all too abruptly. I think ending the song in the same manner was a beautiful touch by Mr. Goetze .
I used to play this song on Guitar legends..i think on a mobile phone, when I was about 6-8 years old Thought I was crazy cause I'm not seeing anyone mentioning the game even after I searched it nor the songs
I've had a lap steel in my closet for going on 10 years now, since my grandparents died. I've been playing guitar and bass for 16 years and this makes me want to play it more than ever.
Every time i come back to this video and listen to this great song it overcomes me. So many memories. Such great loss. But great sound and playing. Love it.
Magic!!! Just love you're style of playing. My all time favourite of your's is...Harvest Moon. Gives me goosebumps everytime l hear it, as do most of the music you play. You are an absolute fantastic musician and play that instrument beautifully. Well done!!!!!
Me enamora las stell guitars. Ojala algún día dios me dé la virtud de poder interpretar. Una pieza tan preciada. Felicitaciones a los que lo han hecho. Los amo mucho. Que Dios los bendiga
I never thought of this tune as a country song but damn if someone in Nashville doesn't jump on it and cover it with steel guitar and fiddles, they're missing the boat. That right there was sweet!
You continue to inspire Luke! I am one of the number who have determined to take up this instrument because of you. I have started saving up my gig money. I have six gigs lined up between now and the end of January and that should give me enough. And a little birdie told me I’m getting my volume pedal for Christmas!
Lovely job 👏👍, been messing with this song recently,I can get the screaming whaling sound using the delay reverb setting's on my zoom pedal and a bottle slide, sounds very close, I don't think I've ever heard anyone replicate the sound on the record playing live, with Bowie,he always intentionally puts a different spin on it, stunning song, I didn't know what it was about for decades 😂
This is remarkable Luke. Other than Sleep Walk by Santo and Johnny, this is the most beautiful tune I have ever heard on a lap steel. Wonderful Luke. Please upload lots more of your performances here for us on your channel.
That was AWESOME!!! One of my favorite Bowie songs and you slayed it. I'm not usually a big fan of the twang of a lap guitar, but certain players and certain songs just work. And this WORKED. Outstanding!!!
For all those out there loving this song but aren't familiar with it - check out the original by David Bowie and also the covers by Motorhead and the Wallflowers. I'm sure there are lots of others out there in RU-vid land that I haven't yet heard/seen, but those three are quite good. Enjoy.... :)
You know someone has nailed an instrumental take on a legendary song when your mind's ear hears the lyrics anyway, and the playing manages to embody the human voice without any electronic funny business. This is fantastic, but too brief.
