Thank you!!

[@CommonSenseRevolution]

This man should be making records! Are you listening record companies? SIGN THIS MAN UP NOW! Excellent work friend. I use to play electric and acoustic guitar for 25 years and I've never heard lap steel done like you do it.

[@olivercrangle6644]

It is incredible what a lap steel in the right hands can do to a piece of music. This is an instrument and a musician hugely underrated.

[@Runner2000]

I want one of these so bad. My old guitar playing buddies ask me why since I have a Gretsch. We are old Metal Heads. So since they don’t listen to country like me, I had to put it in terms they would understand. “Because Duesenberg is the Gibson of Germany and this is the Les Paul of Lap Tops. If Jimmy Page played country he would play this.” Now they get it. I love the benders. Bud, you are crushing it on that thing. Great playing.

[@jnh73]

Holy smokes... that moment when an instrumental cover is better than the original.

[@josephlynn5655]

Sure wish I had a chance to learn under him for awhile.

[@MrPatdeeee]

If you love steel guitars, there are few players that can touch Luke. I have been playing and listening to steel guitar playing since I was 14 yrs old (89 now), and I have heard a VERY few that could "milk" out of an amp; what Luke can. Wow! Absolutely Brilliant! I am sure that the late Jerry Byrd (Greatest laptop steel guitar player) and Buddy Emmons (Greatest Pedal Steel Guitar player); would say similar above; if they were alive. May Jesus rest the precious souls of both of these dear friends. How I miss them.

Enough to make a grown man cry!

[@АлександрМорженко-поэткаменног]

Jon Raquet ... One late night

[@nuboyhere]

I'm a grown man. I don't know where this song takes me, but it does make cry every time I hear it. I never get tired of it, though. And I'm not American.

[@kromerhund]

So true..few years ago I found him and he was playing a John Mayer love song of my old girlfriend and I just cried like a baby....heart of gold you have...

[@林禎吾]

素晴らしい演奏ですよね。

[@looniethemoonie5353]

This is the most beautiful lap steel playing I’ve ever heard....

[@kanadakanal8210]

WOW, sehr tolle Harmonie. Als ob es in dieser Welt nichts böses gibt ... !

[@donshields4470]

Luke...you ain't nothing but GOOD!

[@thpthp]

Woah! Bending notes with fingers on the left hand behind the tonebar? So cool!

[@ChuckLott]

absolutely beautiful arrangement; only much too short. Could listen to this all morning long.- and then some. Thank you Luke !

[@andrewreed1329]

So sweet, love this

[@stratocasterbob]

Hi Luke ! Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina. Oh man....what a sweet tone !!! You are talking to the Angels ! That Golden sound isn't easy to come by. You seem to have found the Holy Grail that's so elusive !!! Best regards, Bob

[@KevinBevington]

Wow... Very Nice.

[@johnrolf4338]

Holy crap! I love this lap technique with the benders. I’m inspired. It really sounds like a pedal steel.

[@rtx340]

Better than the original! Luke, you are hands down one of my favorite guitarists. Thank you for all the beautiful music

[@brigand73]

Using a finger to bend the string behind the slide is impressive; never thought about that before.

[@knpepper6409]

Very, very cool, beautiful melody and played with care and feeling. 8 thumbs down? so sad, I actually think I feel sorry for them, hmmnnn, nah not really.

[@christophkahnes9931]

Herrlich, tut so gut, das anzuhören !

[@davidrichardson3520]

The last cadence sounds like heaven

[@debbieharvey7945]

That. Beautiful. It. bring. A. Warm. heart.

[@retiresoon5639]

If I was 30 years younger I would throw down my guitar and base and start learning the Duesenberg.

[@nuboyhere]

Hey, Retire Soon, Who says you can't learn? Don't retire. It's your soul that resonates to these heavenly vibes. So keep on playing and tapping some of this happiness life has to offer, and of course, spreading it to others.

[@markynsaibasandarsondiengd2298]

Wow man, I wish I could live 200 years just to listen to you.

[@PC0067]

Magnifique c'est superbe !!!!!!❤

[@gsw0865]

Good lord this is excellent! It kind of reminds me of the lap steel guitar part in ‘These Days’ bu Jackson Browne.

[@albertgutnick6979]

This! Just this nothing else but always this

[@lygron]

I like the way you play so much! I am a newbie of this instrument and I like to listen musicians like you.

[@rtx340]

You are by far my favorite steel guitar player. Incredible skills! Bravo!

[@roscoecoltrane9523]

I second that. I can FEEL the music, which in my eye, is what makes great music.

[@elvislives-gl4rv]

Seriously. This is badass. I don't know who this is or whom he plays with, but he should be with someone big and famous.

[@joshuapalmer4188]

the bends are so satisfying

[@Guitarorpheo]

thank you. this is amazing. you're one of my favorite players.

[@pml394]

theres something about a slide guitar , its so beautifull like no other instrument - when played by Luke

[@vernthompson907]

Thank you. Love it.

[@MrPatdeeee]

Luke, you have a helluva touch. I say this because I am 88 yrs old and played my first laptop steel guitar in 1945. What you did is beyond incredible. The steel guitar has been my love, when it comes to music, for 74 yrs. Even wrote a book titled "The evolution of the Pedal Steel Guitar". I only have two problems. And I mean NO disrespect. So I suggest: 1. You should not slant your hand when slanting. Use only your fingers to slant. for the world's greatest laptop steel guitar player, Jerry Byrd, proved that decades ago. As he taught and demanded it with all of his students. 2. Please try and use a round Bar. For it lends itself more to the way a steel guitar should be played. I know, I know, great players like Jerry Douglass, does it your way; but he mostly plays Bluegrass. But your awesome type of music will work out better with a round Bar, IMHO. Others will disagree. And I could be wrong. Again, NO disrespect kind Sir.

[@lukecyrus]

Thank you for the insight! You're right, I have since worked on slants since recording this video 5 years ago. About the tone bar, I've tried using a round one, but found it doesn't work as well for bends, which I use a lot. I started using a Sheerhorn, which definitely sounds more like a round bar.

[@woodstoney]

Man...that was some kind of beautiful!!

[@jakehoff52]

That little bend at 0:07 is so perfect

[@FGg503]

What more is there to say? So soulful.

[@swerve1185]

Love the bend with the bar hand

[@Skipperj]

Great! I have to repeat a few times, whenever I listen to this.

[@RockIslandYT]

i'll keep coming back!

[@tedhart7708]

Such a nice touch!

[@Rowlandph]

[@idahobuckaroo8348]

[@ryannee850]

Soothing my soul...

[@makemoves]

Man I love your playing and majestic sound.

[@Wildvideonyc]

God dang, Luke!! Frickin' killin' it with soul!! I wish I could see you perform somewhere, even just playin' against these backing tracks. Truth is you belong in a great band.

[@oli.v.v.]

Hey, this is beautiful thank you. A few questions though. Which strings do you use, what is the tuning and most importantly what volume pedal and effects pedals do you use to make that sound so perfect and warm to listen to. I might get one myself one day. Thanks In advance ...

[@toddmcintyre6253]

GORGEOUS

[@davidnoble1058]

Superb sound.

[@tomrudd1118]

Excellent! Thank you.

[@larrykoyle1331]

Wow how have I missed this one…too busy listening to Untitled 15, I guess…

[@mcdee56]

Consistently great picking, sounds, and videos! Many thanks!

[@Vimianso]

Just saw this on Facebook a few months ago and I still amazed!

[@jaycook5028]

Beautiful

[@tonevicar-fr5gh]

Dont buy the Dussenburg for $2800. Get a Certano multi bender bridge for $179. It is a 10 min. install on most laps.

[@MrPatdeeee]

Beautiful Guitar. Beautiful song. You done well playing it.

[@kentnoble8434]

Gorgeous!

[@Shinji-Nukaga]
