The chording right about 0:59 is sooo tender. Just one note change and I melt. A dropped third or something. The sweetest version I've heard Ed play so far.

[@SonyaFarrell]

I'm blown away by the beauty of this music, my first time hearing it.

[@petercane6376]

You have so much presence and carrisma before you play a note. So cool! You play beautifully. Those basses buzzing through my bones. Just simply gorgeous. I know just how hard lap steel is!!!!

Jack 'O Diamonds.....

[@goob7261]

Gorgeous. What in the world is he playing though

[@Mundproductionfunkhaus]

What wood is your instrument made of

[@dianechasteinier4270]

I am pretty sure it's Koa wood (a master grade one), because it looks like it, and it is the tonewood used by luthier to making Weissenborn slide guitar (koa is an Hawaïan tree, from the family of acacia, these tree became rare and are protected, so it is hard to get that kind of wood).

[@rexcushman3233]

Anybody else feel like this is the basic tones whales of the deep blue use

[@ChuckConliff-hf5it]

Good point. Whale song also uses glissandos but sound travels through water more quickly so whale song is higher pitched than you would expect.

[@tomcoe9975]

Very nice piece...

[@richardsoriano3950]

What open tuning is this tune in?

[@richardsoriano3950]

Willem Gerritsen thank you!

[@jackkavanaugh685]

Reminds me of Bob Dylan's "farewell Angelina". Sweet.

[@markh7523]

That IS Tender. Can anyone help me with the Tuning?

[@peteyoung9755]

Hi Mark, pretty sure this is Open C - CGCEGC like Vestapol, but a whole tone lower. Good luck.

[@markh7523]

Thanks Pete you are right. Ed's site responded to the question.
