- The sound of Hawaii, well not only! The Harley Benton Slider II Lap Steel w/Stand fits perfect into country, blues and rock music as well. If you haven't hear Pink Floyd`s Great Gig In The Sky yet you should listen to it right now. Well maybe after watching this video.

YOUR STYLE. YOUR GEAR.
Thank you Harley Benton for good and cheap stuff. Now i can try any instrument for affordable price. What a time! :)
You bet!
@@HarleyBentonOfficial Ya guys should make a sitar!!
This is a great example of what I love about HB - I would never have tried one of these since most models are not cheap for such a specialized instrument. I just picked one up on a whim and I'm so excited to try it!
...and really cool to see a lap steel on here. Fun video :)
Thanks, glad you like it!
It looks like you read my requests of Harley Benton's we wanted to see! Thanks. Steve Howe, of Yes, uses a lap steel for some of their best music. I'm no Steve Howe, but, I might have to get this. It's really cool! Thanks for the demo, great job!
Glad you like it! Lapsteels are cool little guitar, and there is much to explore and to do with them..
Mine should arrive in few days I can't wait,
I just ordered one at Thoman DE. I play mostly ukulele and Guitar box 3 string.
So hope to learn to play on this Slide Guitar a view nice songs.
your guitar meows well !!
Sounds good!
Ok, I'm totally impressed!!!
ok this is the coolest workshop/studio EVER!!!! wow
Thanks :)
Got your Rosewood Tele.... This is NEXT!!!
From Hawaii via Treppendorf 🤘🏽
Right on!
Von himmel!
Is that wooden couch for sale?
@@PooNinja Hahaha if you have a helicopter to fly it to you ;)
I can check out the S-64 through my employee benefits package,but I gotta pay fuel and maintenance fees so... maybe I’ll hold off for a bit 👍🏽
I am so pleased with my HB Lapsteel =) Love cheers
It's no reflection upon the instrument it's self . But the gentleman "demonstrating " is an obvious Guitarist , using guitar techniques , and guitar equipment , and no familarity with Lap playing technique .
I bought me one of these HB lap steele guitars, they represent a really good value for money. The only thing I didn't like were the light gauge strings (0.10 to 0.48) it came with. I switched to a heavier gauge, a set of Pyramid Nickel Roundwounds (0.18 to 0.60) and it made a world of difference. The string kit does only cost 9 euro, and it's really worth the trouble to change. I wonder why Thomann doesn't fit these strings right away......
i love your sofa...my god, i'm making a chair of that style, a big one, 400 pounds..to be really nice seated in the wood
Très belle vidéo ,et bien ficelé , vu que ça manque en France de jouer de ce Merveilleux instrument .de musique .!!
Merci mon ami
Bien Musicalement

What cheap amp would you recommend?
I came for the lap steel, keep watching the sofa 😂
wonderful sofa. What is it? What material is it made of? how did you get it? HI
meraviglioso divano. Cosa è? di che materiale è fatto? come te lo sei procurato? ciao
THANK YOU
What's up with that Fred Flintstone couch?
better than using the Volume nob get a Swell / Volume Pedal thats what i use
What string gauges are on this from stock?
I think it came with 0.10s, I immediately changed them with flatwounds because rounds sound so bad on a lap steel
Depending on your tuning , the string gages are totally different . Consider it a given to discard whatever string like objects come from the factory , and replace with a set appropriate for your preferred tuning .
@@carloto96 Me too.... and a heavier gauge. I bought set of Pyramid Nickel Roundwounds (0.18 to 0.60) and it made a world of difference. I use open G tuning most of the time, and it works fine.
Announce Harley Benton Pedal Steel 2021.
you guys should design it to be longer next time so that one can install a multibender on it. I would have bought it if so (for instance you can install one on a grestch because of that form factor)
Add a block on the back end. That’s what I plan to do. This design has been around awhile with different labels in the headstock. I bought one 20 years ago with the brand name Artisan
hi great video i wonder if you can tell me how the c sharp sounds? :-( i dont now and i understand that you tell E B E C# B E thats i can make as tuning my lap gitaar can you pleas help me whit the sound of the C? many thanks ahead
Koos van Raaij It‘s actually G#. This way you get a E-Major Triad of E,G# & B. (A C# would make it a C#min7 without the fifth and also without the root as the lowest note which gives it a very weird feeling.)
Probably BETTER to use a volume pedal on it for swells!
Probably easier to do, but it's good to know you can do it even without a volume pedal.
@@HarleyBentonOfficial Of course!
I love this
You can use electric guitar strings yes, but there are also special sets for lap steels. It really depends on the tunings you'll be using.
@@alicjam.2872 here you go ;) www.thomann.de/de/saiten_fuer_steelguitars.html
Harley Benton thank u :)
ithink you should use straight steel strings and ton steel wound strings
When this is gonna be back in stock?
Can you play minor chords on this Lap Steel instrument?
Very nice reverb, tho
I can only make spaceship sounds.
Well that's cool as well isn't it :)
two major issues, the tuners are horrid, i dont know why you went with this style, second is the nut, its just not good, if you bend behind the nut your tuning disappears. Third use a tone bar not a guitar slide. fourth use a volume pedal for swells,
What are the strings dia from 1to 6th? I mean SWG of strings.
You want to know the thickness of the strings?
@@HarleyBentonOfficial yes. Also can you please inform about the pickup you are using in lap steel?
Wish they made an 8 string lap steel
Problem is lot of people dont know much fun they are.
@@HarleyBentonOfficial 👍
Absolutely , they exist ! Including some at very reasonable prices .
Une lap Steel 'e se joue pas avec un bottleneck mais avec un tonebar. Le son n'est pas du tout le même
😭 I want one but I'm left handed could I convert it
I converted mine. th-cam.com/video/UoH6cJFib60/w-d-xo.html
Do the legs extend so you can stand and play?
Nope, it's made to be played while sitting down.
