[edit] Ostensibly "notable" players
As often happens with such lists, this one is getting out of hand. Sol Hoopii and David Lindley are notable lap steel players, but Joe Pisapia? Am I just being cranky? --RobHutten 12:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
No, you're not just being cranky. It does seem like there's a bit of over-inclusion going on here, and I've done something about it, removing several notable pedal steel guitar players from this list of lap-style players. I noticed the same thing occurring on the pedal steel guitar page. Is there a definition of notable editors of Wikipedia should be applying?JSC ltd 01:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect of Hawaian guitar
I've redirected a new page that was created, Hawaian guitar, here. In case anyone wants to find sources and merge any of the information that was on that page, I'm including it here. Pinball22 16:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
This is a modified form of spanish guitar. The strings are lifted up by putting a bridge. Insted of using the frets and fingers, it is played usina a metal glider. This guitar was developed in Hawai Island for the use of people affected by leprosy who could not use their fingers for playing guitar. Presently it is popular in india especially in West Bengal. Using this guitar you can move from one note to other with out break. This is called "gamakam"(Flowing note) in indian music. Hawaian guitar tunes by "Sunil Ganguly,Van Shukla,Bhatra etc. are popular in India
