Basics and Blues 2008 for the C6th Lap Steel Guitar
Basics and Blues 2008 is our most Popular DVD. No Previous Musical Experience is needed to understand these instructions. Basic playing techniques movies to get you started playing Right Away!!
This DVD/CD set is geared toward musicians (in particular guitar players) who would like to add some Lap Steel Guitar music to their repertoire. The CD contains 10 tracks played by professional musicians useful as accompaniment when practicing the licks learned in the lessons.
The DVD contains several movies including: * C6th tune up movie * Details on bar control that the pro's use to get that Great Sound * 1-4-5 Chords * 1-4-5 Angles (Slants) to get some 7th sounds * 3 Note Angle Melting Notes * Guitar Licks Pocket for some single note blues and power rock action * Country Lick that works for blues and rock-n-roll too
Let our Basics and Blues instructions help you make the transition to Lap Steel Guitar playing. They will help you quickly transfer your existing musical knowledge. The C6th tuning used in these lessons is most commonly associated with Hawaiian, Hank Williams Sr., and Western Swing music. It lends itself well to modern Blues and Power Rock because of its melodic ties to Blues and Jazz Music Theory. These instructions are taught for a 6 string instrument C-E-G-A-C-E low to high strings. All of GeorgeBoards™ lessons can be learned with 6-string or 8-string lap steels. C6th tuning is the same for both.
This DVD is designed to play on your home television set on widescreen 16:9 with good audio and behave like rental movies. Use your remote control to select the movies of your choice. The pause, back up, and replay features of DVDs simplify the learning experience.

GeorgeBoards made it's first Lap Steel Guitar in 1994. This Lap Steel Guitar was a basic copy of a Magnatone WaterFall Lap Steel Guitar Design. Soon after GeorgeBoards began to design their own Lap Steel Guitar body. Having played Pedal Steel for a few decades prior to the GeorgeBoard adventure we are friends with many pedal steel makers and as a general rule all pedal steel people are very friendly to one another. Ron Lashley at the time, was the main force behind the Emmons LeGrande Pedal Steel Guitar, among the finest pedal steel guitars ever designed. His generosity welcomed the giving of his 22.5" scale directly from his computer program he had developed to GeorgeBoards Lap Steel Guitars. We began experimenting on a Fret Board. The Magnatone Lap Steel Guitar had used a Plexiglas fret board design and we were already going after that 1950's look and sound so we tried the plexi idea. The Very first GeorgeBoard Lap Steel Guitar has a Plexiglas fret board with black pin stripe lines from an auto parts store used for the fret lines , literally stuck on the bottom of the plexi on a visual from the Magnatone Lap Steel Guitar as the pattern to go from, amazingly it works!!
GeorgeBoards made a few tracings from a National and a Rickenbacker lap steel guitars and created the "Proto Type" Design. We had a Pattern Jig Created for our home router and I cut all of the lap steel guitar body's in the back yard , At that point we had a machinist Create a 8 String Nut and Bridge System made entirely of Brass. GeorgeBoards Lap Steel Guitars became aware of machining language and the concept of dividing an inch by 1000. Before that time I had used a tape measure from the garage. In a parallel universe we were also creating the GeorgeBoards Super Sonic 8 String Custom Lap Steel Guitar Pick Up.(Patent Pending). GeorgeBoards joined forces with Lindy Fralin Pickups of Richmond Virginia to Re Create the Ultimate 50's Sounding 8 String Lap Steel Guitar Pickup. Lindy Fralin Pickups send us the Alnico Magnets uncharged we make the plexi top and bottom plates and glue the magnets into the plexi which we refer to as a "Bobbin. I was getting the plexi cut at the plastics place all rectangle and the hole drilled on mills. We used calipers to get the distances.
The Bobbins are then returned to Lindy Fralin Pickups and they perform their Magic while winding the Secret Formula of wire gauge thickness, winding length core density and gauss. By creating the perfect magnet placement for the associated Brass Roller Nut and Bridge System GeorgeBoards has achieved a unique sonic quality that exceeds the clarity and tone of the commonly used commercial mass produced pedal steel guitar pickups. Next the pickups are dipped in hot wax to defeat the microphonics. The finished pickups are then shipped to GeorgeBoards for installation on the Super Sonic 8 String GeorgeBoard Lap Steel Guitar.
GeorgeBoards made about 10 of those "Proto Type" lap steel guitar models that can be distinguished by the All Brass Roller Bridge and Roller Nut System utilizing a 3/8" roller. Additionally we sold 6 other lap steel guitar Proto's with another roller system made of 3/4" brass turned down to .700 flattened to .625 and turned on the super lathe to the same exacting depth and spacing as we use on our super sonic lap steel guitar instruments. These few rare lap steel guitars sound really good and play really nice too, They all now live in nice loving homes.
At GeorgeBoards Lap Steel Guitars we are fortunate to have relatives who are wood cutters in Hawaii. On several trips to Maui we have obtained nice quality Koa with Figures and Flames for use on our lap steel guitars. Over the years GeorgeBoards has created 10 Koa Lap Steel Guitars with an Exclusive One Piece Top Plate of the "Kind" Koa with Flames. As I type this paragraph 5-3-2004 I have just sold the last single Koa Lap Steel Guitar. There are now the Pair of Opposite Identical Twin Lap Steel Guitars with the most heavily figured Koa One Piece Tops. These Extreme Works of Art are Edge Bound with 4 layer Maple inlay bindings. We now await the future owner of this Magnificent Set of Lap Steel Guitars.
05-03-2004 GeorgeBoards has just released our most recent Console Steel Guitar ,
