I met these musicians recently and played twice with them. The first
song they posted was a Dylan tune with me playing the Gibson. It was
the first time I did that song and it was unchallenging with only 3
chords. If you search youtube for mcbump, it will come up. I brought
the Fender this time and was able to do more. I will be doing
Sleepwalk soon and they will post it.

I you want an honest opinion Ron:

....not too good. To your credit I think the dobro player, the bass player,
and the acoustic guitar player might have a decent shot at it. There are too
many people just strumming chords and it sounds muddy. The singer is pretty
bad. Maybe just needs some practice but I'm not impressed.

I did find a nice example of steel guitar on YouTube from "The Flying
Burrito Bros" but the sound is pretty bad. But you get the idea.



It's a good song.

Sorry Just my opinion

I usually play alone with my BIAB tracks. As I said, I don't know
their songs and it was the second time with them. Only the guys on my
left and right are the regulars. I'm hoping they will feature me in
the next post. I know this song didn't show my best side.

I don't understand. You're the Dobro player?

I play 6 string lap steel and that is a great song. I'd need the tab to play
it but I'd like to give it a shot.

I'm playing the Fender in the one video and the Gibson in the Dylan
video. All the others are mcbump playing the dobro and banjo.
