Started playing lap slide on a dobro last September and picked up a Gold Tone Lap Steel a couple months ago. Still figuring things out but my biggest struggle is with the finger picks. Just can’t seem to get the feel right. So, last night at a blues jam I just used a regular pick that I would tuck into my palm when I “needed” the multi-finger sound. Was happy with how it worked out but would happy to read some suggestions/thoughts from more experienced players.

Have been playing my LS-6 for a couple months now and starting to get it some. Was wondering, what is the metal plate that goes the string that you rest your hand on is called? Been searching and don’t see an answer to the obvious (hand rest, palm rest, etc). I’d love to find someone that could make a custom one with an etching (Tiger) on it? Surely, someone has thought about this before?
