....Hehehe.....

Thanks Mike...so in my G Tuning...that would come out in Eb!?

Was afraid you would say that...I'm struggling now!!

Would really appreciate some help in getting started...if there is any out there!!?

Re: I Like You

Listening to this at present...seems to come out in key of F.

....but what is Sol's tuning.....open G perhaps?
Or is it one of his fancier tunings...which I haven't tried so far!!

Exactly that....jus wonderin' what members prefer a good non-pedal tab program?

Hoping to go straight to the best....preferably free one out there...

Somehow I managed to miss this thread when I posted last July!!

One for Mike I suppose.....did you complete the transcription...I'd love to see it?!!

.....It most certainly did!!
Thanks anyway Doug

Hi Dan
....whoops...you're right....we're talking about lowering here.

I've noticed that David Hartley (among others, I'm sure) lowers his E's on the RKL, and wondered whether it might be worth a try?
What are the pros and cons?
....all opinions welcome

...wouldn't tuning to a higher pitch have the same effect as capo-ing up??!

OK....trying to get to the bottom of something that's been bugging me for years here!! It seems to be acknowledged that King Benny used High A Bass tuning, and performed this number in the Key of F. So he is thought to have played in the Key of "the (major triad at the) 8th fret position"!...

Any comments...or even Tab out there!!?

....just thought I'd try again..

...Great stuff....Lovely playing and sound!!
I'm a beginner, but have been working from the Erv Niehaus tab...and would love your backing track...please!!

Suppose I need to get into this whole 'backing track' thing
......would I be needing something like Band In A Box??

Yes Walter...I found that blogspot link earlier when I Googled!!!

....Perhaps there were only 2 of 'em ever made, and it looks like I've got the other one!!...

Seems that no-one has heard of this one

Funnily enough, another query on same....

...achieved equally few comments back in 2010!!:\

Hoping you fella's can shed a bit of light on the Goodrich String Box....what does it do (Fuzz effect I think!)...and how do you use it???

Cheers from UK!!

Just been looking at some Jeff Newman C6 materials...played incidentally, on an MCI...just like mine!!

...He seems to favour the D chromatic approach
....will probably stick with that!!!

BTW...nice new avatar Ken!!!

...aaagghh...should've made that clear..

It's C6 on a 10 string neck!!

Just wondering what opinions are out there on this one!?

Having played lap style for some years...and to a not particularly high standard...thought I'd have a dabble on the C6 neck.

What do you think...high G...or lower D on string 1..???
(Relative to D on string 2 that is!!)

.......... The spring at the base of the pedal merely connects both the top and bottom halves of the pedal to make the pedal default to the off position.................... Hhhmmnnn....so unlike my Hilton pedal...which stays where I've left it, once I remove my foot...the Sho Bud pedal is designed ...

Hi Patricia

.....as something of a beginner to Steel, the chart would be 'right up my street'

Many thanks

PM'd

Thanks Will!!

Nice one Ken
...now for the guide....

Hi Folks ...thought I'd open this up to you lot...after a pulley for a Sho Bud Volume pedal that I recently acquired. The pulley is missing...so if someone out there has the same, and could supply a picture/drawing and some measurements, ....then perhaps I might 'knock up' the same!!?? Also missing ...
