Lap Steel Guitar - The Real Hawaiian Sound
The Lap Steel Guitar is indigenous to Hawaii, being played in a unique way that only the Polynesians could invent.
The guitar is placed on the player's lap, and the notes are produced using a steel bar that slides along the strings.
The most beautiful sound is produced by playing in this manner, perfect for a backyard luau, complete with Tiki Torches, hula dancers and a pig roast!
If you're interested in learning this unique instrument, Josh has a number of tutorial DVDs available for the instrument, which is perfect for brand new beginners as well as players looking to expand their repertoire. Simply use the contact page to inquire about local NYC or long distance instruction.
To book either myself or a Duo, Trio, Quartet or bigger Live Polynesian music act, Contact me anytime at my New York City offices at 646-543-5828.
