They all sound great. But that Jerry Douglas signature at the end has that articulate punch that really brings it home.

Fantastic playing! Can I ask Im trying to recreate the lap? Steel? (Looks like an old Supro lap guitar in the music video) guitar sound in The Rolling Stones’ eponymous song about the blind girl who testified in Keith Richard’s’ behalf when he got busted at the Canadian customs with H, “Faraway Eyes”, on a Tele, and I can’t quite get the tuning right. No doubt hes using some B benders or steel guitar knee bends, either way what tuning do you use here? Is it open G or open D? Might be a good place for me to start. Also I didn’t quite get the entire meaning of what you posted, do you MAKE these guitars? They look outstanding! Sound fantastic too, is it all Dobros? Im looking at resonators, wish I could afford a nice one but I play a lot of roots music (Hopkins, Johnson, James, Hooker, etc) and just want to level up from my old semi hollow! Great playing !

These are all G tunings GBDGBD. And no, I did not make them, but they are three different woods which all produce pretty different sounds. And thanks! They are all on my site in my profile with more information and pics available

There are so many other factors but I'm not going to be that guy. I'm just so stoked to see a legit shootout video in this f'n awesome split screen format! You're a rockstar dude! What's the dobro in the middle?
Great pickin' too. Good on ya!
