The Steel Guitar Forum

Chris Combs, best known from 'Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey,' plays a 6 string lap steel in standard tuning. Check out his solo 2017 release, 'Combsy' - His sound is, dare I say it, a bit Frisellian.

Mike, do you know where a hard copy can be ordered? All I can find available for purchase are MP3 files from Amazon.

Cheers!

I love it, and can totally hear the Jeff Beck spirit in your playing. Great stuff!

I loved the last one and can't wait to hear this next release.

Later!

I do love that song, Jim, but I don't think I could do it justice in this tuning (G B D F# A D).

No Stella Blue either?

Oh well. I still can't wait to hear it
I just ordered the cd, thank you!

I was very fortunate to have been in NYC last weekend for the Allman Brothers Band final 3 Beacon Theater shows; since the remaining 4 scheduled for this week/weekend were cancelled because Gregg Allman went in the hospital for Bronchitis. Get well Gregg! Actually, the last 2 Beacon shows last weeke...

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing!

Hey Aaron, you sound great on Bruce Piephoff's Soft Soap Purrings cd

Jason Lollar also does a Chicago Steel 8 string pickup. I put my Chicago Steel 6 on a Chandler RH2 lap steel, and Jason put a Charlie Christian cover plate on it to match the original pickup; it sounds very nice! http://www.lollarguitars.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LGP&Produc...

my initial response would be pride. evidently i'm so old and out of it now that i thought that mattered. Apparently so. I don't see the slimeyness. Nobody is forcing anybody to back anything. How about feeling some pride that your fanbase contributed 10K because they want to hear your next cd?. If ...

when did internet begging become an accepted form of business. example...hey everyone, send me some money so i can work on this project that will benefit 'me'. if it doesn't come to pass, thanks, i'll just live on the money you sent me. thanks suckers! i've gotten requests like this from songwriter...

How do? Here is a recent clip I came across, of AJ on stage with Zac Brown Band trading licks with their guitar player. Good stuff. http://youtu.be/e8H9EQzoobI And, AJ is giving away a live recording of a recent set: http://noisetrade.com/ajghent/aj-ghent-band-live-at-smgff - Worthy of a 64meg downl...

What a deal, I would be all over this if I was looking to add another steel to the arsenal. Anybody looking for a great value/playing instrument should jump on this!

I love the Word album too. Also, there are 289 RR Family Band audio recordings available to stream or download (free) at the live music archive. http://archive.org/browse.php?collection=RobertRandolphandtheFamilyBand&field=year That Slide Brothers album might be my favorite disc of the year so f...

I asked, he said: Google sacred steel E7 and tune it down 1 whole step.

Hi, In case you missed'em the first time, I did also post some video clips I shot of Colonel Bruce with AJ. 3/16/2013 @ BB King's in NYC http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=2070114&highlight=#2070114 NorCal 8/26 & 8/27 http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=1990415&hig...

Did you ever find out J Wunders tuning?

Yes, AJ uses D7 tuning, as he put it: "Old school Sacred Steel E7, tuned down 1 step..."



Later, Jon

I have the model B from that catalog page, model # 6154, made in 1949
It's currently in the shop, got new wiring, replaced some tuning pegs, etc. I'll post a picture once I get it back.

It's not a humbucker; but Jason Lollar built me a Chicago Steel 6 with a Charlie Christian top plate that matched the original pickup. It did require some minor routing, and Jason included a plastic ring similar to what humbuckers use, to cover the hole. It sounds great :-) http://bb.steelguitarforu...

Thanks for sharing, I first picked my steel up in the last year, this is some good stuff!

Very cool, thanks for posting that picture from the Reader. My step-father Arthur Brown ran the Double R Ranch. I have very fond memories of that place. A bar that served drinks from 7 AM to 3 AM 5 days a week, and 7 AM to 5 AM the other 2 nights. I think they had roughly 30 chili-mac combo's on the...
