The Resonator Guitar may not be the first instrument that springs to mind when playing Celtic music, but as it turns out, the resonator is an excellent choice despite its challenges. What can be more expressive than a lovely slide and vibrato on a beautiful Celtic Air? The human voice comes to mind, with the resonator a close second with its non-fretted glissandos and steel on steel.
