It isn't much different to the slide playing, the difference is that you put the lap steel in your lap, so the strings are facing the ceiling. I cannot find a better way to explain this. Reminds me that quite a lot of blind players tend to play the regular guitar at first like this, myself included. Don't really know why.
Lap steel players usually tend to use a different kind of slide, so instead of putting the slide on your finger, they use the kind of bar you can hold between your fingers, so you get more controll over it. It also enables you to make behind the bar bends, meaning that you grab a string behind the bar with your pinky and ring finger and bend it. Makes a cool pedal steel type of sound. So yeah, I like to play it occasionally. What is quite cool about it is that it makes Marshall ms2 sound quite good. When playing some rock and metal stuff through it with the usual electric guitar, it sounds quite crappy. But this really small, m id range tone sounds awesome with the bluesy stuff. SO I could go busking with it. LOL
