The only lap steel guitarist that made me want to buy one.
The song is "Dobro Island" by the great Mike Auldridge.
Pretty good ear you have Megan for not hearing it for so long.
Here's a link to the video th-cam.com/video/ftQwlzKJu_U/w-d-xo.html
That's cool, Megan will be happy.
💖🍔🇩🇪
Thank you for solving the mystery for us, Izzy! Always learning something new.👍
It is now mandatory for them to do a cover!

More knowledge being dropped by The Slide Queen. She's so insanely talented. 🙌💙
Ya don't ya love it..!?
A lesson from the slide Queen herself 🙌🙌
It's like watching your friend teach you the shortcuts to the secrets that they've
discovered over the years. Just a humble and nice person, who also is a great lap steel player.
Dobro Island. Also, you play fantastically. Great technique and good picking the stuff apart. Inspired. And now I can't get Sponge Bob Square Pants out of my head. Sounds of Bikini Bottom. So thanks for that, too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN !!! Toasting you with a glass of wine. Thanks for letting your slide sing to us.
The technique from Hawaiian roots in the second half of this video is a common tenet that powers the melody. Wonderful❤🎉😊
We love your time and teaching Megan, thank you so much!
Thank you so much Megan ! A great pleasure for me Hope to see you soon in France.
I've been so enthralled with the instrument since I first saw you play it here about a year ago. It just seems such an appropriate addition to everything you add it to, second to your voices, of course.
Time after time, you, and your sister, have taken so many of the unbeatable-classics and given them back to us in that way that puts a lump in my throat, most every time. Amazing! I can just close my eyes and hear them in a new way that makes me love them all over again!
Now, you are one of the first I've seen to put up a few quick lessons for the instrument and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather learn a some of the unseen, subtle nuances from.
Thanks and please, do more!

Very cool, Megan! Thanks. Yep, an old dog can learn new tricks...69 years old and learning something new every day...
Oh, I really love your performances as Larkin and Poe...
I also found an old Martin Lap Steel Guitar, the 00-18H. Martins First Steel String Guitars were Lap Steel Guitars.
I'm so glad I found this. I just made a lap steel and one hour after finishing it, you taught me a whole song! Thank you so much for sharing here and with your music.
Happy Birthday Slide Queen!
Mesmerizing Megan ❤
So wonderful watching you play. I've played regular 6 string for 35yrs and just now learning lap steel. I play by ear and seeing shapes in chords/scales. It has helped me learn some
Thanks so much Megan. You really are a natural teacher! We really appreciate your pearls of wisdom.
That was great! You two should do more stuff like this. Always nice to see how people do things
Thanks Megan, for your lesson AND for your beautiful smile!
The Frets act as handy guide lines so you can see where to move the slide. I use John Pearse Lap Steel Strings cause the company that makes them was started by the Guitarist, John Pearse. John Pearse also played a Martin 00-18H Lap Steel Guitar which was converted to a Standard Spanish Style Guitar later on down the road.
You are one of the best I have heard on the instrument, especially in playing songs not necessarily associated with slide or lap steel guitar, LAYLA and WISH YOU WERE HERE FOR INSTANCE. Brilliant!
Best advice I ever got was from David Lindley,"Make use of the open notes."
That is a very challenging undertaking for the first time . Love it .
Love hearing you talk and explain your instrument and techniques. Larkin Poe.
How cool the bent note at the end
Queen of slide guitar!!!!
I’ve been “planted behind the bar” a few times during college. 😁 Seriously, great lesson, I’m beginning playing lap steel, this is very helpful, thanks!
What lap steel did you get, may I ask? I am also thinking of picking it up, but am not sure what lap steel to get...
@@martincloud1323 the brand is Rogue. It’s Ok, but very cheaply constructed and the three screwed in legs are flimsy and wobbly, and one leg broke so I had to repair it. I would not recommend it for serious playing.
@@Bigbuddyandblue Yes, I have one myself and the same thing happened. Bad pickup, terrible tuning machines But, nice body and fretboard scale and nice action on the volume and tone pots. I've upgraded the tuning machines. Some day I'll upgrade that thin-sounding strat pickup they put on there and maybe the bridge and then I'll have a nice steel. I know, that's a lot but I'm kinda attached to that steel. My steel-playing friends kinda like it too but they have the same complaints as me and the same compliments as well.
@@martincloud1323 Seems like Megan is too busy to answer : the lap-steel is a Rickenbacker made one, but with an added part that she designed with a man working in the steel industry I believe (friend of her parents). This is to make it possible to play the instrument while standing up...Don't know if it adds sonic power to her lap steel or not. Dont think it's available yet (possibly some signature model would come out some day)...😊
Great song!!! Lovely video.
One of my first songs on Lap Steel was Hawaiian Sunset.....Ever play that one? I enjoy your playing! You and your sister are great together!
So interesting how you build up the sounds. Even I will never play this or any Instrument well, I'd like to see more.
Thanks. 💖Love from Hamburg 🍔 Germany 🇩🇪
Thanks Megan. You guys are the best!
Juste magnifique, le son, le jeu, l'émotion.. Merci
Toujours un plaisir de vous voir ( Megane 😍)
Megan is awesome. As pretty as she is talented. Really good lap steel player and great blues musician.
Thanks for good techniques in blues, country style from you girl
You guys are simply awesome. And I can't wait for ya to swing by Denmark on March 10, 2021.
Stay safe, healthy and keep on rocking. Cheers...
I love the bending in the last chord... and I love you 💖💖💖
Oh that was a cool string bending cheet at the end, WHY I HAD NO IDEA..! YOUR AMAZING MEGAN.!
Bending behind the slide... that's an awesome technique to emulate the pedal steel sound.
I love u Mégane !
What an endearing charisma.....
ha ha I love that ... the first song she ever learned and proceeds to play a really complex piece ... my first song was smoke on the water on one string ... such talent man ... love it
Hey Megan, that was awesome. One thing I would love to know about is your tone. Could you and Rebecca maybe do a vid on your amps and pedals? I got a bit of a look in this vid at your pedal board, but could only see a bit of it. You both have such amazing tone, and I know that all the gear heads out there would love to check out how you get your tone. Great work, and I cant wait till you finally come back to Australia so we can see you live...
It's 90% the player. Even for drummers, believe it or not.
dcs2402 If I recall correctly, they did a Reverb piece where they talked about their gear.
fender twin amps, or alike. a boost pedal or ts type pedal. Delay and or reverb. No doubt a compression for slide too..
Gbd gbd ?? Or C6 ?? ❤
You are amazing!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏 awesome music
Megan - yes! 😍 love the lap steel tutorial showing us how you make that awesome sound!
I was already 100% in love with Larkin Poe from their videos, and now it's 1000%. Thanks for a great video, your tips are awesome!
You both just seem so incredibly genuine and joyful. I'm super bummed that I'll miss seeing you live when you come to my town...but it's for a good reason, I have a gig that night! :)
Been a sub for over a year and I am just now discovering you have a ton of awesome DIY videos. I am such a lagger.
Thank you so much !!!
スライドギター素敵!
Thank you for this.
Great job!
I’m so glad there us so much Larkin Poe concert footage on TH-cam.
You’re a great inspiration for me(a guitarist and fairly new steel player).
Sounds good as usual, Megan.
Love this and learned more from Hawaiian steel than I ever thought possible.
Love these women, love their music and I have to say as my brothers recently deceased, overly affectionate cat was fond of saying.... " Meow " and I mean that with all sincerity.
Love your guitar and I love how you play. Just bought a 50s Electromuse lap steel and can't wait to bring it back to life 👍
I resurrected a 1940’s ElectroMuse lap steel in February. These videos are inspirational. Thanks for taking the time to post them. I’m a big fan!
@@satan7946 that's awesome. Mine works great, even after i broke the electronics when cleaning them😳. Got to play with my soldering gun though. All good now and she sings👍
Megan Thank You. I was very impressed by the third finger bending the string at the end of the number now that's clever!! I've already cut my finger trying to emulate it!! A from the UK
Thank you Megan for this tutorial! I've been interested in playing dobro and slide for a while. Now to put this all in motion! Keep rocking lady!
Absolutely in love with you. Thanks for for unveiling ‘the secrets’ of playing on such unpopular these days instrument
Thanks. Really interesting stuff.
I think I heard that one on Spanky and the little rascals when alfalfa was tryin to swoon darla .
I'll carry that tune in my head all week now! lol
I had some kids over to the house one time, and to keep them entertained while the adults were socializing, I showed them the noise made by a slide dragged along the strings. A 5 year old girl immediately said, " Looney Tunes"!
Gracias por El video, mas vídeos así por favor , son maravillosas gracias por su música
You’re Awesome !!!
Love the slide Queen
Thank you Megan.
Super big thanks, Heaps.
I tried slide on a dobro years ago, pfioeeeee.......so hard! But I love the sound!
My 8 String Lap Steel Guitar is tuned a Perfect Fourth above C6 (so it's F6) cause it's a Rare 8 String Lap Steel Quart Guitar made by Martin & Rickenbacker (the Logo Said Martinbacker).
Love you Megan. Great video, glad you are doing this !!
thanks Meg for this wonderful upload..
had a nice cup of coffee at the truck stop i was able to enjoy five minutes of it before I took off very cool.. adding on to the other videos that you have..
That song sounds really cool
2:29 Dobro Island played on a Rickenbacker Lap Steel Electric Guitar. The Dobro is basically a Resonator Lap Steel Guitar, & it's louder than a Standard Lap Steel Acoustic Guitar because of the Resonator Cone. Joseph Kekuku was the guy behind the Slide Guitar.
Makes me want to go find a lap steel! Nice easy to follow instructions!👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶
Wow I just got my first lapsteel and learned more today! Thanks from an old man 😀
You absolutely ROCK
I believe that song was the opening theme to SpongeBob S2E9.
For real though, you’re awesome for posting these lessons!
You’ve inspired me to start messing around more with slide guitar, and now I really want to start getting into lap steel.
Absolutely fascinating and a joy to listen to your teachings, until now I thought it was magic.
The tune you played was spell binding and really captivating.
Thank you so very much for sharing this fantastic stuff.
🤠🎸
Nice quote from Dobro Island at 3:53
Been learning how to play a bit of slide and these videos are super helpful. Thanks, Megan!
An explainer of how you played "Subway Song" would be really cool! If not too much a throwback. Nice slants and behind the bar string pull!
so cool - always nice to get notice of your vids! look forward to them! thank you
Te amo!
Scales! She plays scales like she practices them a lot and takes them seriously. How many popular musicians do that?
(Maybe that's why her notes in unison with Rebecca are always spot-on in tune.)
I'm am such a fan of Megan! :)
Thank you
Thank you again for another lesson!
Loving the diy slide lessons
I tried a Lap Steel and it tried me... :) Probably like guitar what seems impossible at first somehow becomes possible if you are tough enough..Finger pics.....oooo? That may be hard to get used to..
Always major respect for the Queen. All hail the Queen and her little sister.. Princess Poe!
Megan
