The Steel Guitar Forum

I am going to lean on the collective knowledge a little bit here. I really like the feel and response of the blue Herco Thumbpick but the blade is too short for me. Is there anything else out there thats similar but with a longer blade?

My pair just arrived today and I really really like them. The shape of the blade makes picking significantly more easy and accurate. Up until now i was using Hoffmeyer picks which were really nice but the Landis picks did not require any reshaping. Could not be happier with them.

Hello All,

I have an 15" Altec 418-8h that needs a new gasket to mount in a new cabinet. Is there a best practice or preferred material I should use?

Thanks in advance.

That book would be so wonderful for beginning steelers, please consider making it available.

Definitely a great guy! Did a great job on a J Bass rewind and I couldn't be happier with the tone!

I just got split cases for my Sho-Bud D-10 from Kevin and they are fantastic. Really nice guy and A+ quality work.

I can not possibly recommend Ricky Davis enough. I just got my steel back from him this weekend and it plays and sounds unbelievable. There is no greater living repository of Sho-Bud history and knowledge than this man, and he's a heck of a nice guy to boot!

Kevin Hatton for a case, heck of a nice guy!

Hang in there Randy, wish you well and a speedy recovery.

Oops… i forgot to ask my question, that being;

Did Tom Brumley also tune down a 1/2 step?

I have to wonder if Buck Owens sang Together Again in C# (instead of C) to accommodate Tom Brumley's pedal steel solo? Tommy, Buck Owens and his whole band most of the time tuned all instruments a half step low. I've heard various stories on the why but can't remember any of them. As far as key cha...

I can;t recommend Mark Van Allens E9th Theory course strongly enough. It really helped demystify the pedal steel

thank you so much!

Wonderful Future

hang in there…as a beginner (playing about 2 or so years) everything felt wrong. the slightest change of seat height or tilt....shoes…hand position…anything would throw me way off. the good news is that its a very challenging instrument to start on, its take a lot of coordination, so dont feel...

Awesome!

Thanks Keith. Immediately after I posted i had a *duh* moment and went to the steel and played around with bar slants and found a bunch of Mooney-isms. It's a change I wish I had but not sure if or what I'd give up to get it.
