The Steel Guitar Forum

Got it - thanks for the quick reply

Anyone know how to reach Mickey? I heard he may be available for Skype lessons - tried to email and PM through the forum but unsuccessful.

Thanks in advance!

Peavey Nashville 1000 for sale. In great shape but not pristine (pictures show areas where not as new). Has a cover and tilt back legs. Everything works and it sounds great, I just bought a smaller amp and no longer use this one. I am located in Elizabethtown, KY if you would like to come by and try...

Might be a good idea to identify if $1300 is what you are still wanting for this guitar. I am not an expert at these but see similar guitars under $1000 - maybe because of its age or the model it is worth more? It makes me reluctant to make an offer for fear of hurting your feelings just due to my l...

I tried to reach him via email and was unsuccessful - anyone have contact info?

All, I will be in Nashville this weekend all day Friday and leaving out super late Saturday night. I have been taking Skype lessons from Rusty Danmyer and we were planning on hooking up, however he just took a new road gig and is unable to get with me. Just got off the phone with Mr. Jernigan and he...

Del Ray, I am often in Nashville and love to play the sacred steel style. I heard through the grapevine that Mr. Ghent might be doing some lessons and was interested in possibly trying to hook up with him, but when my email went unanswered. If you have any info please reach out to me by PM. Thanks!

Having went through the same process last year I found that this forum was an excellent resource to locate a good solid beginners guitar without breaking the bank. Determine your budget and let the forum members help you out. I was able to find a used double neck MSA, steel amp, volume pedal, and to...

I'll have to give a try when I get home tonight - thanks Lane.

I have recently learned the intro (Thanks Mickey!) to Set em up Joe. Can anyone explain what is going on when the steel comes in between the verse and the chorus? I am brand new to pedal steel and appreciate all the help.

Thanks!

Just wanted to pass on a quick note that I was able to purchase a fabulous D10 over the weekend - thanks to everyone for their feedback!

Is this guitar still for sale?

Thanks to everyone for their helpful comments - I love this forum!

Sent you a PM. If you didn't receive let me know and I will call you this evening.

Jerry,

I sent you a pm but I may not have done it correctly - please pm me if you have not received and I will reply back.

Thanks,
Nelson

Thanks for the quick reply - what type of steels would you suggest? What type of amps should I be looking for in that price range? New? Used? Are there some steels I should stay away from? By the way, I still remember being blown away as a young musician by your Dad's bass playing with the Scene - t...

All, I am a guitar, lap steel/weissenborn, and resonator guitar player. I am wanting to start learning pedal steel and have been looking at possibilities for purchase. I tried to learn a few years ago with a Carter Starter but was very frustrated with the process. I am hoping that if I buy a better ...

Would love to hear your version C.E...

Just my two cents: I am fascinated by this idea that we need to push the boundaries of an instrument. If you look at true innovation with regards to music you see it through the players not the instruction booklet. Let me also say that I draw a distinction between true innovation and players who bui...

Used this old hymn to work on my slants - as you can tell I still need some work. GBDGBD tuning.

My buddy Mark and I happened to hook up the night before Easter and played a few tunes together for the first time in several months. You can tell how prepared we were by the fact that Mark had to read the words off his phone...good times.

Just my two cents, but if the strings don't work I would just buy more thumbpicks - keep a few fresh ones for performances and just wear 'em out at home...I would rather be comfortable playing then trying to put my hand in some awkward position to accomodate a piece of plastic...

The guitar you reference is a Guernsey guitar with the Trilogy bridge. The unit does not function as a bender - Jerry only uses it to quickly change tunings. According to Ivan (who built the guitar and installed the bridge) Jerry wanted a single guitar to use on solo gigs (radio interviews, etc.) th...

Is that "striped" one the Brazilian tri-cone or did Carroll build a new one similar to it?
