    "A DIFFERENT SLANT "

    If you have found it difficult to play
    Big Band music and other complex Jazz
    Standards on your Lap Steel Guitar,
    Mike Ihde and Bill Leavitt have found
    the solution. The "Leavitt Tuning",
    (from low to high) is C#,E,G,Bb,C, and D
    It's definitely different and you'll be
    amazed at all the altered 3 and 4 note
    chords you can play. The really special
    part of this tuning is that there are NO
    SLANTS NEEDED to play all those
    beautiful songs !
    For those who think they have heard
    everything........

    Well..... take a listen to this recorded clip.
    Be prepared for a surprise.

    A DIFFERENT SLANT

    If you are like me and are interested enough to be able to learn to play this style...... the following is
    available...............

    The CD sampled here contains these ten tracks: Tenderly, Where or When, Someday My Prince Will Come, The Girl From Ipanema, Moonlight in Vermont, Blue Hawaii, Have You Met Miss Jones?, When You Wish Upon a Star, Satin Doll, and Misty.
