This video is a response to a question asked about one of of my previous videos. I talk about my two 2X4 lap steels and do a sound sample of each. The red one is tuned in open D and the blue one is tuned to C6. They are similar looking instruments but they sound very different.

Thanks Derek and Richard. Great perspectives on each. Red and Blue... why choose? Ha ha.
Love the sound of the C6 tuning. P90's are cool too
I dig the red one, Memphis grind! Glue those setting in place! I’d love to hear you cover a song with it Poorness. Next CallyFest though, those Calli girls will love the blue one, such a sweet blended beach sound! Where is Hawaii anyway! You play very well!
I never thought about it that way Dave but you're absolutely right. That's the beauty of a sixth i guess... C/Am or D/Bm or E/C#m... such a beautiful combination in all cases.
I think you’re real good on lap play Poorness. Keep it up. I love C6. It’s C on the low 3 strings and Am on the high 3.
I've been saying that a lot lately.
Yeah, I need to try that technique on these Buggy. I agree with you about the P90. I always seem to like the tone of any guitar with a P90. They're just magic. And yes... a definite Hawaiian vibe on that C6. :-)
Nice... try hitting it with the handle of a wooden spoon as you play :>) you might like it... C6 i can see the Hulla skirts now coming up the beach... I do like a P90
