Hi, - could anyone please help me with contact info for Larry Rolens ? The Bellamy Brothers visit norway in september and our band are engaged to do support for them. If possible it would be nice to contact him in advance. All the best !

Hi Tore, hope You'll find a buyer.

Hope we'll meet again at one of the norwegian festivals this summer.

Best regards.

Roar

I bought a handy travel guitar from Mr. Rex Blattenberger few years ago. If You visit: http://weneedthemoneyguitars.com/ and scroll down the side a bit You'll see pictures and some info of the instrument. Although I never get enough time to practice it's nice to have this one ready for use. It also ...

I'm after a second guitar for home practicing, so I sent an email too ...
Best regards from Norway !

Larry, - hope it's okay I add my last Twin-Picking experience to Your thread ? Last saturday I was playing at a Country festival here in Norway, and the main attraction that evening was Brian Sklar and his Tex Pistols. Without forgetting the splendid fiddle show I would like to tell You about Billy ...

I'm also left handed but play a "normal" PSG. I've often wondered what advantages the two alternatives gives (lefty playing left, or lefty playing "right"), but at the end it seems as the most important issue is how much I practice ... - and that's never enough... ha ha. ;-) Abou...

Hi Bob and Frode, thank You for Your nice words about the flightcase. At Capro we are 8 employees and I'll pass the word through to all involved in the production line. I'll be happy to answer any questions about our products, just send me an e-mail. I'm sorry the web-site is mainly in norwegian. Th...

It's a pleasure for me to add-on to this list. I have many pedal steel players as favourites and they're all willing to share their ideas and thoughts. But when it comes to teaching this instrument as a skill, nothing compares to what Jeff Newman does. In January 2000 I got the opportunity to visit ...

I'm running a Flightcase Production company in Norway, and I've learned a lot by reading this thread. Thank You. If it is of anyones interest, - I'll tell You how we adjust the foam inside our flightcases. We mainly use a product we call Ethafoam, and it's available in sheets, with different thickne...

.. Back at work again, still cold here in Norway, the only comfort I can get is knowing it will be worse ... Alan Kirk: - I think we will be able to experiment more than before now after being aware of the importance of microphone placement and use. Today we will be back in studio again to finish th...

I just wondered if there is available any table or list, - telling which frequensies each instrument is most likely to appear within ?? As for the "most used" instruments in country music, - drums, bass, ac. guitars, el. guitars, fiddle, banjo, dobro, pedal steel, ... ? If there's availabl...

... just arrived at office for a new day, hot coffee inside, and snow outside ... Larry Bell, - thank You for bringing up the frequency issue, I find that very interesting. It doesn't seem easy to figure this out, but I think I understand what You're saying here. JB Arnold, - long time ago I was tol...

A good tip, - thank You Bill. The studio is equipped with a fully loaded ProTools, and the recording engineer knows how to use it, - and we try to "clean up" every track while recording, - after cross fading the different takes and so on. But still, - we've often found "strange" ...

Thank You Mark, .. and Yes, it sounds strange, but I'll try it. Am I right if there's not possible to pan the instruments from left to right then ? If so, - do I have to work with the frequenses only ? It sound like the right thing to start with, and then maybe switch to "stereo mode" and ...

Hi Dave, - thank You for Your reply. This is exactly what I'm looking for, I'm not quite sure how detailed this topic should be, - but when it comes to the stereo width, how wide should for example the dubbed acoustic guitar be mixed ? We've tried both full left/right and 10 o'clock/2 o'clock, of co...

These days I and my band is recording our 4. CD, and it's very interesting. I'm wondering if someone could give their opinion about "cleaning up" the sound ... I'm thinking of suggestions where to place the instruments in the mixing process, by using different effects and by placing them f...

Thank You very much Ricky, - I think this is it, - I'll take a closer look at it tonight.
Thank You again, - You might close this thread.

Could anyone please help me with the tab on this Dixie Chicks song ? I'm only after the solo. Thank You in advance.
