A good video for anyone interested in steel resonator guitars.

I used to own one, many years ago, and nearly bought another one in 2021 before I went cold on the idea. All else aside, the damn things are so loud that I'd have to go up to the shed to play one - Mrs Tannin is very good, but there are limits. Also, I don't ever seem to play slide anymore, which is three parts of the appeal. 

So put me down as a non-player but nevertheless an interested onlooker.

PS: haven't watched the video yet, but I recognise those hands - JJ is always good value.

Thanks for the video, very interesting. I have owned several resonators over the years, but unless you are a serious blues player they just don't get enough playing time.

I have a Regal Tricone which I play fairly regularly. Very good fun and quite a nice player. Damned heavy though. I can only play it sitting on the couch which is not ideal and gets a bit uncomfortable after half-an-hour. 3year old grandson loves to have it flat on his knee and fiddle with it with a plectrum which he regularly drops in it! Totally bombproof!

Interesting video but I don’t play slide so for me it’s just another fingerpicker. 

I shouldn’t have watched that video. Rekindled a dream of fingerstyle blues I first flirted with about 20 years ago. This time I’m more likely to forego the learning bit & hope a new guitar will make it work  :#
