First of all answer to the "what is this thing" question is "Guitar Nut Extender" so TA you win the prize!
Now as far as the Do a Deed for a Dude - I was trying to come up with a mnemonic device to remember Open D tuning... Do a Deed for a Dude doesn't work because open d tuning is DADF#AD. So if anyone has any ideas let me know.
I just took my first Lap Steel lesson and purchased the Kelly Joe Phelps Lap steel DVD. Guitar is equipped with my Nut Extender (I love saying that) and tuned to Open D...
Here's your first lesson:

I'm so stoked about taking lessons - I only wish I would have done this 10 years ago.
Next we'll talk about slides and dobro capos.

I don't get it, why do you want to extend your nut, and which way does it extend? Toward the headstock I suppose, but why? And how does it fit on?
I'm so confused.
Oh yeah, and it's tough to fit that sharp into a mneumonic device. G is much more sensible, no sharps.
I'm glad your jazzed.
The nut goes right over the existing nut. Mainly to raise the strings about 1/4 inch from the fret board.
Because the steel bar is so heavy you need to have that extra space to work.
slide guitar is so fun, I'm having a blast.
A-ha. I wasn't listening again, slide, sure.
Go man, go......
