What I like best about all KountryCuz1 video's is it's all about just getting it done. Great tutorials. Big thumbs up. Thank you for the motivation!

These are some of the best 'how to' lap steel videos I've come across. I've been playing bottleneck for about a year so it's great to get some tips etc on the 'overhand' method. All the best from Scotland :)

Just got my 1st lapsteel same model your playing thanks for your knowledge

Thanks Cuz...Love the sounds. Always wanted to learn. Keep em coming brother...

Let me know if This helps Thanks !

Great tutorial I am using an old Harmony H-2 from 1956 passed down from my Grandfather and trying to learn it.

Just bought my Rogue RLS-1 for $80. Subscribed as you provide a breakdown to technique...thanks!

I have the same lap steel. In the process of making one.. If I ever get more made. You will get one for the videos that helped me

Wow..I actually learned something here! Thanks!!

Your right, You can count tones but for new players it is sometimes easier to see the frets as their stopping points. That's the way I was taught and I was just passing it by. If you put your bar on the fifth fret it would be a 5 and if you put your bar on the seventh fret that would be a 7! One of the biggest problems with teaching is , as you know playing the guitar , you have two or three different ways of learning and after you learn to plays chords and then someone puts the number system on you, it makes you have to think about where to go next? It's all good. , Thanks for your help! Have you ever played a six string guitar , tuned in open G , Keith Richards is the Master of the open G tuning..............also you can play the neck with one finger as the Bar, for bar chords? Just wondered, Thanks for the info........

G/ DAY CUZ JUST THROUGHT I'D TOUCH BASS WITH YA.. I'M LEARNING THE STEEL IVE TUNED MINE TO YA KEY OF E. SO I'M REALLY LIKING HOW YA EXPLAIN ING THINGS IN SIMPLE ENGLISH..THANKS A MILLION LITTLE BUDDY CUZ....COPY

Yankee here, (living in rural Maine, though). Came here looking for some ideas on using a lap steel for *weird* music (as I tend to do). Instead, I found a *really* awesome lesson, and a new appreciation for country! Thanks, Kountry Cuz!

thanks for posting, be looking for more, must start playing mine , learning too, your lap has a cool sound,

Cuz, please do us all a favor...please add a date on you video listing title.. just (example) add maybe 1.29.21 on your title if indicating Jan 29, 2021. It will help us locate things in order. Love your training, advice and wisdom. Keep it going.

That’s the best southern accent ever N he’s not a bad player either

Kountry= by the way, I have found something I have done some experimenting with and it turns out pretty good, I am going to put it on this guitar, RIT dye, from my experiments, dye and lacquer, and you can see the wood grain, thin it down for lighter, in 2 or 3 weeks maybe I can put the Rit dye to it and I will send it up so you can see it, will try to get it finished as soon as possible, just got to many things going

Wonderful, love from London 🇬🇧

Iv played several other instruments over the years. This lap steel reminds me mostly of a banjo due to playing in a open tuning.

Good info. , can't get enough. Thanks

KC 👏👏👏

Thanks for the lessons :-)

Thanks best video I seen yet outstanding

what amp are you using? i want to get a steel lap guitar i just don't know where to start

I’ve got one same color

Hey Cuz, Just a note? The one chord is open and then you go to the fifth fret and that is the FOUR CHORD, and then two more up to the Seventh fret would be your Five chord. It will always be 1-4-5 Nashville numbers and then if you start at the G on the thrid fret, next would be the 8th fret C and then 10th fret is the D, so think about it this way, basic three chords in a country song........0 - 5- 7 so if you go to the 5th fret (A) five more up the neck would be the tenth fret, (D) and two more at the 12 th is the (E) chord again, just like it is open, Hope that helps you... O ---5-----7 it is open , up 5 and two more...........Good luck Cuz

I got one them.cheers cuz

A Rouge lap steel copy for sure!

great lesson, thank you!

Nice lesson thank you

And thanks for making I've been studying your videos

This is great

your just what i was looking for thanks

Thanks kountry kuz. Ìm learning Key of E with ya.. I seem to be just doing strumming.. i surpose because I've been playing guitar... why are you picking different strings when your in G to C to D . Is that for hiting the right notes????? Thanks Kuz

Hi kuz you have any fret boards available if so how much please Merry Christmas and Happy NewYears

Love it!! Thank you!!

Awsome im just learning i reckon its a dying art that is nice to hear

Thanks Bill Cosby!

Thank you! Helpful!

hey Kountry they stopped making the Martin 980 strings, so now I have tried different kind of strings, (for the lap steel) and none of them will sound up to the Martin 980, so now what kind do you use, in the place of the Martin string

Sounds good!

Yes. This helps

Thanks Foghorn Leghorn!

SUCESSO.

Can you tell me where can I clip a tuner to my lap steel? I have the Rogue like yours. Thanks.

Hey Kountry : I have a question for you, I hope you know the answer, the answer has eluded me. when I pluck the string, any string on my home made PSG, it has a kinda buzzing sound, I can not find it, I even took parts off one piece at a time, trying to find what was making the buzz, even the last string on the guitar, all pedals, all pull rods, all bell cranks, every thing, with the last string on, and some buzz more then others, with one string one it, it will buzz, it don't seem to be transferring to the amp, but why is it buzzing?, there is no reason to buzz, but it is and I can not find any thing to buzz

Oh that Accent omg! what state is that, South of Jupiter? wow!

Hey Kountry did you ever get a video made of your pedal steel, looking forward to seeing it.

Hi bud what's your tuning for open d

Hay bud say your in standard tuning on the guitar except a capo on the 5th frett what would the lap steel tuning be ? it's kind of a sad song I'm working on writing . I'm trying to get a crying lap steel sound to match it but. I'm a beginner on the steel guitar

Hey Kountry getting worried about you, haven't herd from you in a while

I don't know if I'm gonna make a player or not, I'm having a time laying my hand flat behind the bar, not sure how I'm going to over come this, do you have any suggestion, I'm thinking about putting a strip of felt on the back side of the bar, any body got any input

Kountry : will you do me a fav, measure the string spacing at the bridge on your 10 string show bud pedal steel. seems to me regular guitar spacing is to close, I found a 8 string pickup but it seems a little close to me, thanks TD

can you do Johnny Cash - Folsom prison demo . I been trying to figure that song out on a steel

Hey Kountry: I have a project I am going to start soon. going to make a 6 string pedal steel, and going to put all three pedals on to one. by not being a player that plays enough to stay up on it, I have to hunt for the pedals I need to push, so pedal 1 controls string 3, pedal 2 controls string 1, and pedal 3 controls string 2 and 3 so I intend to put all three onto one pedal, now, I know it will stretch all 3 strings and they will not last as long, but for some one that does not play like he is playing for a living, maybe they will last for a while, and if it does not work, well, I can always put 2 more pedals onto it, but maybe one pedal can take the place of three, what do you think about this idea?

hey Kountry, I been trying to play a dobro in open G, I really like the sound of your lap steel in the open E. so when I tune the dobro to the open E it seem I will have to relearn the art of playing. so my question is, what are the advantages of the open E over the open G? and as a side note, you have me interested in making a Lap steel. I have made lots of wood projects. I would love to have one of yours, its worth the challenge to make it If I never learn to play it, I also learn a lot from you about notation, that may not be the right way to spell it , it where you level the strings, herd of it all my life but never knew what it was till I watched one of your videos. now I know the importance of it. and , I am looking forward to building a lap steel, Thanks for all your information TD

hey kountry: do they make a tone bar for pedal steel that you can hold on to like the dobro tone bar, arthritis makes it hard to hold the tone bar for pedal steel

hey Kountry I need some information, on painting the wood for the pedal steel, I want it blue but not so solid that you can't see any wood grain, I have seen them painted that way smooth, polished, shinny but I also want it so I can see the wood grain, but, I can not find any information on how to do it and don't know any one that knows. can you guide me to some info on what paint, sealer, clear, or what do I need to do first, Hope you can help me with this TD

A nice hello to you - I always watch your videos here on YT - very interesting. But - as my English lessons have been centuries ago - it is sometimes difficult for me to understand everything. Nevertheless I farther follow you here!

Hi good channel you have and I have a question. I have a dobro, can I tune it to Open E easily, or will the strings likely break? Thanks!

Where can I order one of the Rogue RLS-1 as I am from New Zealand and would like to learn how to play it. Any information would be most helpfulI look forward to your reply.

hey Kountry: a friend of mine has a Earnie Ball foot pedal it has no model, no serial number, nothing on it but Earnie Ball it looks old but solid and tight as a new one, it works good as far as I can tell, seems like it don't turn the volume as high as it is with out it, do that mean any thing, should the volume be just as high when the foot pedal is up to high position, he wants 50 dollars for it, is that a good deal?

Could I make one of those out of pallet wood?

what kind of amplifier are you using

Hey Kountry, have you ever tuned the lap steel like the 6 string pedal steel but with no pedals? did you put pedal steel strings on the lap steel, I believe I will try one, it would be like playing a 6 string pedal steel and not use the pedals. What do you think?

I want to learn this after watching David Gilmour's solo

Kountry: just a question for you, if you take two 6 string pickups and stagger them so you will have 8 positions for an 8 string guitar there will be two on each end but in the middle it will be 4 that will be doubled. would that work? or have you ever saw it done? thanks TD

Please call the "tone bar" the "steel," since that is what it was called until somebody decided to get fancy. Now, I don't know, but I would guess the reason it is called a "steel" guitar is because it was played with a stainless "steel" bar. How horrible it would be if we changed the name to the "tone bar" guitar. Shivers! I am not criticizing, just commenting. I am learning a lot from you and plan to go through each of your videos. The more I practice, the more I learn.

What name brand strings do you use for open E tuning

hey Kountry do you have a Peavey bandit 65 for sale?

The problem with teaching beginners YOU NEED TO START FROM THE BEGINNING. I AM WATCHING WHAT YOU ARE DOING BUT I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ITS PETTY BUT I WANT TO learn how to.

Cuz, NO DISRESPECT.....PROMISE, Just want for you to totally understand the Nashville number system.......I am going to use the song , ( YOUR CHEATING HEART ).......If your lap steel is tuned in open E that is where you would start........You would play the guitar in the open chord, E would be the ONE CHORD, open , no bar, and then the next chord to that song would A, Starts at E and then moves to the fifth fret which is a A, that is the four chord, and then up two more frets, which would be a B CHORD, at the 7th fret.., then back to the one chord which is the E again..............So you have a one chord at the open , no bar is a E and then to the fifth fret A and then the seventh fret is the B chord and it would also be the five chord. If you have ever played a six string guitar and use a BAR CHORD, with Your first finger on your left hand. Bar chord you would put your first finger , across the 3rd fret which would make a G BAR chord and up to the eight fret would be a C at the eight fret and then , up two more to the tenth fret, more would be the D chord, and also would be the 5 chord....then go back to the third fret to the G chord again, which is also a the ONE CHORD again, ...The same goes for the lap steel, You would not place your finger at the open fret So the E is open tuning and then the fifth fret would the four chord and the 7th chord would be a B chord or the 5 chord. Check this out and let me know if that helps? If you want to play a song in A would start at the fifth fret , which is the one and then the next chord would be at the tenth fret D , which is the four chord and up two more to the the 12th fret which would be the E at the 12th fret.....and so on! let me know what you think, This a great way to play and learn is using the Nashville number system, which the singer can lead you thought the song with their hands raising one finger which they would play what ever you want and the singer will tell you with their hand, It is a very cool way of teaching some one what they .needed to know while they are singing! Hope this helps, 1-4-5 major chords............JE

Lol that accent wow!

I should have mentioned I have Arthritis in my hands

Gee, well, ain't it funny how your "home made" lap steel looks JUST LIKE the Rogue Lap Steel I bought for $80.00. Why didn't you show the tuning keys? Because that's where the name is......

And thanks for making I've been studying your videos
