Yes Thanks

Thanks - i'll look guys up.

I live near Chicago but will be visiting my daughter and son in law near L.A. Nov 14-16. I'd like to go see some live pedal steel. Anyone got any ideas?

The oil did it - but I also think the spring is border line. Thanks guys.

Thanks - I haven't oiled it at all. I'll give that a try as well as take a look at the spring.

My RKR lowers my E's. I have an old MSA that never gave me problems, but lately when I lower the E's, the 4th string comes back pretty darn flat, 8th string is fine. My RKL raises the E's, and if I raise the E either when it's flat or from a "good" E, it comes back down fine. Can anyone su...

My laptop has a busted "see" key so:


I just wear so_ks. If I found the right mo__asins, I'd go that route.

Thanks for checking that out.

I like to play along with this song but one chord doesn't sound right when I play it. What is the chord at 0:48? I think F but I'm not sure. Starting at 0:53 I think the song goes: Am C Am C Am C Am F Am G F(?) G Then at 2:16 for the solo: Dm Am Dm E Any comments / advise ??? https://www.youtube.com...

Thank you Ron.

Thanks a lot Jon.

I want to "re-route" one of my rods. It doesn't have a straight path from the changer to to the bell-crank (if my terms are correct). Since I have never added or moved rods, I want to make sure I have the general concept correct: 1) The pedal or lever travel needs to move the rod at least ...

Thanks Barry

Can anyone tell me who this is ?

Thank you.

Yeah that sounds like it. Thanks Quentin from Canada and Clete from Texas from John in the middle.

Now all I gotta do is practice it enough so I can:

1) sound good
2) turn my head during the lick the way Charleton does

Thanks a lot!

Yes thank you very much Kyle. Mine was natural maple, clear finish. The finish got beat up as it was in a flood in about 1986 or so. Lost the decals and the silkscreen frets. Got a crack which I repaired. I took it all apart, cleaned and polished it, had it professionally painted, and reassembled it...

I'll check it out tomorrow!

I've gotten a few different answers on this in the past and I'd like to find out for sure what MSA I have. It was damaged in a flood, lost the decals, therefore the model. It's refinished and plays fine - but I don't remember the name on the front. The SN is 2C5991.

Anybody ?

Thanks

Hey Josh thanks for taking the time to do the video. It's going to be a while before I can sit down and try that but I'm sure what you figured out is gonna help.

I like it Patrick. Are you playing around in Chicagoland currently?

Danny & Bill I'll start out like you said and see if I can get it. Another member got me a slowed down version I'll use. I appreciate the help. It's gonna be the weekend before I can get back to it but I'll let you know how it goes.

I posted this in the "Steel on the Web" forum but thought it might be better here.

Can anyone get me started on getting the lick at 2:40 to 2:44 in this video? I'll take as much help as I can get - thanks!

Thanks much Joachim.

I agree, he plays nice. The equipment sounds great too.
