DVD – Sacred Steel – Learn the Lap Steel Guitar of Darick Campbell

The sacred steel tradition is embodied in Darick Campbell’s vocal-like, evocative sounds on the 8-string lap steel. Here he discusses tuning, string blocking, bar technique, hammer-ons, vibrato and octave licks. You’ll see how he uses volume and tone controls, wah-wah pedal and other devices to give his playing its singing quality. Combining bass, chord and melody he plays 3 gospel standards: “Amazing Grace,” “Walk with Me” and “I’ll Fly Away.” Includes play-along sections with back-up by the Campbell Brothers. Beginners. 70 min.
