The Steel Guitar Forum

I sometimes tune the 4th string D up to E in the open G on the dobro. Gives you the 6-1-3 interval on the 2nd 3rd and 4th strings that you have on the 1st 3 strings in c6 tuning. And a full sounding minor chord.

I have nothing but admiration for his musical abilities but I find his singing a little tough to take. I've never been around weissenborn type instruments before and was impressed with their deep rich sound (now I want one) All in all it was a good,entertaining show.He does a lot of silly songs, som...

By real classy clothes I take it you mean something polyester.

I've been enjoying his playing and music for years and years. I can't believe this will be my first time seeing him. I don't think he makes it to Maine too often. Looking forward to it. Thanks for all the comments.

Just picked up some tickets to see DL next month at the Boothbay Opera house.From the price of the tickets it looks like it will be a solo show. What can one expect from a Lindley solo show? I'm thinking I (unfortunately) won't hear much electric lap steel.It will all be good I'm sure.

Whatever the tuning is called, great playing.

Just curious, why do they call it E9 when there is no 9th.

By the way, that video seems strangely in sync at times

Can't help but think of Charlie Christian when I listen to this solo.(over and over and over)

His playing just KILLS me. Unusual video to go along with it .

"What a wicked slap down that was"

Even if you didn't have your location listed, we would know you were from Mass.

Very nice. Thanks

Youtube can be rough on a performer. I think that her YT videos that are maybe less than stellar are usually with her sitting in with folks that she doesn't always play with. You get her in a setting with a "band" of which she is a member and she is quite good. Like with Redd Volkaert: htt...

Sent you a message Tony.

I didn't know Neil Young played steel guitar, (or that he had moved back to Canada)

That was great!!

That was great!!

Thanks Mike. Found his website. A great player.

Good Morning,
Wondering if there are any non-pedal steel players in Southern Maine/coastal NH who give lessons. I played guitar for almost 40 years so I know chord structure and some theory. Would like some help with technique and some of the basic steel stuff.Thanks, Dave

Very nice. Your Duo part4 was a really nice piece as well. Tunings?

I don't know how I haven't heard of you before, but i'm sure glad you posted this. My kind of lap steel playing. Looking forward to getting the cd that I ordered. Thanks for that little you tube video on bending strings behind the bar. Coming to Maine anytime soon?

It's all about the pan style tuners.The best looking steels all seem to have them.

Combining 2 of the finest things on this earth. Steel guitars and vintage motorcycles.

Meanwhile, start learning to play it unplugged.
