You're an absolute master with the true spirit of aloha. I've been playing your videos on repeat again today. Best contemporary squareneck music on KZbin!

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

To hear that from you will make me smile for the whole day ! Thank you so much, Remco, so glad that we met ! Aloha -s-

You are one talented braddah! Mahalo for your aloha for Hawaiian mele!

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Mahalo JT, very much appreciated !

[@stanthesteelguitarman8228]

Yes, I hear the styles of Benny and Feet Rogers coming through admirably! You are attracting lovely, but so well deserved comments from very astute listeners who appreciate really good music! I find it heartening to read them, as I'm sure you do too - and that your huge talent and excellent work is noticed by so many. Alooooooooooooha!

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Hi Stan, reading all these nice comments does mean a lot to me, keeps me going 😁 !Aloha

[@stanthesteelguitarman8228]

Oh yes Sebastian! I've had 60 years of playing the steel guitar [on and off] with very little incentive and encouragement throughout - and hence not that much to show for it. That's why it's important to give a special talent like yours all the praise that it deserves. Aloha! @@HawaiianSteelGuitar

Excellent Job!

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Thank you so much, Tom !

Unbelievably great musicianship! Tickles my ears. Brand new to playing a square neck resonator, but I am making a meager first attempt at dobro with this tune from your video, except using open G tuning. It's taking me a while, but I'm slowly progressing with your harmonics part. Thank you for your excellent music and showing me "how to do it right".

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Glad you find the videos helpful, Mike !

[@edgallagher2607]

Just sublime

[@edgallagher2607]

What tuning is this? I've only ever used GBDGBD but this sounds so sweet

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Mahalo !

[@derekmoore6265]

Beautiful

Lieber Peter, freut mich sehr dass es Dir gefällt, ich hoffe man trifft sich bald mal, von uns Lapsteelern gibt's ja nicht so viele in Deutschland 😁 ! Aloha -sebastian-

I like the mellow sound from those plastic fingerpicks. You should also try out the ProPik Finger-Tone fingerpicks. They have a nicer tone than normal metal picks, and they are really nice for playing those one hand harmonics as they expose your fingertips. *Not sponsored* :D

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Cool, will check these ProPik Finger Tone Pics out. These plastic picks stick out quite a bit and I am used to it but I could see that for some playing techniques shorter picks are the way to go. On electric steel I actually like the sound of metal finger picks better but I am to lazy to switch back and forth 😊 !

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

The dobro and electric lap steel guitar were both made for Hawaiian music.

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Indeed !

[@MasterQuan808]

Dorothy Hanakahi what is my grandmother on the black side let’s try to peace ✌🏿 it out That was a long time ago.

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Mahalo Jason !

[@roncab4608]

Very Nice!! What year and model is your guitar please?

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Thank you, it is a National Tricone from 1931 !

[@jcgrimshaw5014]

Really beautiful playing. I have never tried the high A bass tuning, what gauge strings are you using? It must be quite high tension!

[@HawaiianSteelGuitar]

Thank you ! I use 16/18/22 (all plain) and 30/39/47 (wound).

[@handle_is_taken]

This song is very similar to alekoki. Can you please do Alekoki?
