The Steel Guitar Forum

Looking for a schematic for Sherwood Master 8423 It’s my uncles first guitar and amp. He got me into steel. I have a repair buddy who finally got the tubes to power up without blowing a fuse but still no sound. Would love any recommendations to help get this going again for my uncle! https://bb.stee...

Thanks Jim!

Currently we are just submitting it to film festivals for the spring and summer.

Ps... I still enjoy your jazz album I picked up from the ISGC!

The documentary exploring the future of steel guitar got it's first review. There is another documentary being made that plans to cover the history. Honestly, as a nerd I feel we could never do the history justice, even if I tried with a 10 part mini-series. So as the review kinda bites into us, we ...

PM sent.

I’m interested in two fretboards and the pedal bar sticker.

I’ll finally be satisfied with my steel with these. THANKS!

The album is pure inspiration. In the review...

Love my piggy back. Hope this finds a home soon!

We have sent emails out asking for T-shirt sizes. PLEASE check your email folks, we sent our 2nd attempts out and really want to place our order and get these in everyone's hands!

Thanks again for all the support!

In my conversations with Josh I am blown away by his compassion and excitement for the pedal steel, reminding how fortunate I was to have mentors from the Jump Start Academy and why we started That Thing|THAT SOUND. We have put Josh in touch with those on the board for Jump Start and Lefty to figure...

Josh, I'm so thankful of your contribution and our conversation today!

Tim, thank your for you donation!

Frank I'm so glad you are excited!

Roger, I hope you read my entire post or at least the part about you. I am often reminded of our lessons.

So thankful.

Not a lot of discussion on here, but here is a blog that had some great dialogue I enjoyed reading

Thanks Jonathan! We believe the steel guitar deserves more attention too! That is the whole essence of the film. Entertain and inspire for more steel guitar and steel guitar players.

We quickly made a video for the campaign that shows how many people still don't know what the pedal steel is... scary or sad - WE HOPE YOU GET A GOOD LAUGH!

We have about a week left in our crowd sourcing so I figured I should post on the Pedal Steel section as that is the main focus of the film. There was a TON of discussion over at Savingcountrymusic.com The pedal steel guitar is the most rewarding thing that still leaves me yearning for more. I will ...

Here is an article Trigger wrote up about our film. It does a great job explaining our goal and heart of the story. Saving Country Music typically doesn't help with crowd sourcing projects but they felt there was importance to our project. Please give it a read, and if it so moves you consider fundi...

For those interested in our documentary, here is what the T-shirt design looks like. We were very excited to work with internationally renown artist Pat Moriarity and wanted the image to look timeless as we explore the future of steel. The instrument we love so much. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/u...

THANKS GUYS! I can't wait to try this one out myself. Huge fan of Will Oldham and was lucky enough to do an interview with him a few years ago ...even after the book that was written so he'd never have to do another interview ha! Great guy and such a creative mind. We talked steel guitar but not eno...

I used the SE9 settings and matched it against my old tuner and everything matched to 440. Idk maybe the old owner changed it? Not worried about it. I will just have to wait and sit down with a real person who has the same one. Thanks everyone for you input. This is a great place. I'm gonna go pract...

Does it know which string I am tuning? Jeffran changes from 442 >> 439 across different strings. Seems to me the "sweetener" is staying at 440?

Any help is appreciated. I really want to understand the sweeteners. So I haven't used it much -because I don't understand it.

I understand its for fine tuning but what does the numbers mean? ie: F#4

My question is, "Does it really know which string I am tuning, or do I have to tell it? If so how?"

I bought a Peterson Strobe Tuner. Was told the sweeteners "just knows" what strings and pedals I am tuning and changes to 440 or 439 etc (Jeffran tuning). Doesn't seem that way. Any tips? What am I missing? Open Strings Tune the first string F#4 Tune the second string to D#4 Tune the third...

Barry, its through the pedal steel I am starting to learn/memorize theory. If you made E9th theory course explaining why the tuning was made....for chord manipulation. I'd be interested! In fact I need it!
