I generally prefer North Indian music to South Indian, but it's all good.

Mudfuzz, you're opening a big can of worms here. BIG CAN. OF. WORMS.

All great stuff, guys! Mudfuzz, how long is your Ernie Ball bar? I just ordered a 3 incher, and I'm thinking that it should be long enough

It's 3 3/8" actually, I think they don't count the rounded end.

Word up. I think mine's actually a bit over 3, so should definitely suffice. So...Junior Brown...fuck that guy! lol he's too goddamn good at lap steel, let alone regular guitar!

For anything less than 8 strings, around 3" should be fine. (TWSS)

But really, I think me, you, Muddy, and lapsteel should form an all-steel ensemble. There's one for the supergroup thread :cool:

I think that's an awesome idea.

The ILF Steel Guiter Quartet.

Maybe for next years ILF compilation? Um whatduyah think eh?

This, and clearly I need some sympathetic strings... what would a ravish sitar sound like with a normal lap?

I think it would be badass!

Yeah I've wanted to do something with sympathetic strings for years and years.... I have given thought to taking a cheap sitar and pulling off all the frets actually... or just geting one of those TANPURA + SWARMANDAL things...
