A Couple of My Favorite Bender Licks & Concepts - Open D Lap Steel

[@timsguitarmods]

I'd like to see more bender lick videos! I just got an sx lap steel and installed benders. I'm looking to learn more about using the benders. Thanks for the cheap lap steel comparison video. It is why I have this new setup, and I absolutely love it for the price! I also love your custom bender string set on strings by mail. They're great!

I love that G bender, it’s beautiful and so many goosebumps😮 Very beautiful instrument!

Brilliant! My Fairytale shipped from Germany last week. Will have your videos playing on repeat and will pay for your courses! Thank you

Great pills Troy. I have recently bought a fender lap steel with no benders. I am thinking to buy a cheat lap steel and install the Certano benders. But now I need to explore further the one I already have. Thank you very much!

[@donnacasey4255]

As usual, another awesome lesson. Thanks, Troy!

Just ordered some Cerano benders ... can't wait to try these licks!

Another great video, TB. Hit a Major 3 note chord in backslant position two frets in a high register, then pivot on the top note and go to strait position and tell me if that's not the coolest sound you ever heard on a steel guitar 🙂

Thanks Troy, it certainly opens things up, as you say. Appreciate it. Now I have to change the strings as I went back to C6th tuning. I'd like to have a volume pedal, maybe Santa will bring me one? I've been good, mostly. :) Happy Holidays to you!

Love the sounds you're getting in this video. I have been playing lap steel with benders for about a year primarily in C6 tuning. I also watched your benders in C6 video. My goal is to get the lap steel sound. In your opinion, what tuning works best to get the most out of the benders? After watching this, I am thinking I need to switch to D tuning.

Hi Troy. Thanks for the great videos. You've rekindled a spark I had when I was a pro guitar player, and dabbled with lap steel. Could you please tell me the recommended string gauges for the open D tuning? Or, point to a previous video that gives that info? Thanks once again.

From where I get the cheap bender. It's so expensive..Btw it's so refreshing atleast I've learned something from this video. Thanks.

Nice

Hello Troy, I’m currently using your custom string set from strings by mail for a lap steel with 25.5 inch scale length and Certano palm benders. I would like to try the same tension of strings but with flat rounds. Can you make a recommendation?

[@ClenioMiller]

Dear master! I'm looking to buy a lapsteel with multibender. Can you recommend me any brands? I'm waiting, a big hug!

[@superorangeish]

I have a dobro.Can I change tunings w/ o having to change my strings set, or will I break strings ?

Open G can go to Open D
