Sacred Steel is a style of steel guitar used in House of God churches.
The steel guitar is the lead instrument and typically mimicks the singer (or preacher).
Maybe some of you will find this as beautiful and interesting as I did.  cheers.

The Shocker

If I'd grown up hearing that in church, I'd probably still be going.  Great stuff.

Awesome. I just got my 2nd lap steel and it's amazing how many different types of music can come out of that thing.

I really need to step up to 8 strings though... once I'm better on 6.

That 2 minute passage starting around 8:10 smokes! I've never really heard anything quite like it. Kind of Grand Funk/Hendrix but more energetic.

E-Bow sighting at 9:00.

I'd like to see/hear him using it, but it's clearly one of that player's tools.
