Its Been a while since making a Steel Guitar video. Kamakani I B from the SpongeBob cartoon series. I was asked to play this a while back but just got round to working the piece out. Played on a Rickenbacker LS100 lap steel guitar with ukulele and bass backing. Link to a free tab in the YouTube description! Mike

Hi Bill, Good to hear from you. After not playing electric Lap Steel for a while I am back in the saddle. This Ricky maybe my favourite at the moment! Mike

Mike's vibrato is what I like! Excellent! Hitting the note or chord and adding vibrato sparingly.
There can be a tendency with some players, especially beginners, to start with a fast, wide vibrato, which might be the player being unsure of bar placement.
