The Steel Guitar Forum

My MSA Classic, #1C5126 was dated bty David Wright as 1 April '76. This one can't ne much later. Maybe David will chime in here. I've seen these signatures discussed in other threads on the SGF, and I would guess that the signature is "by any stretch, legit." Do a forum search on this. p.s...

I got one a couple of years ago. Now I can actually see what I'm playing. Don't know how I'd do without it.

Thanks to Tom Bradshaw.

Great! Nice tone.

That's a good deal! I had bought a full set from Tom Bradshaw in the 90s, but two have become water damaged and one is misplaced. I just completed my order for a new set.

Thanks.

John I'd love a copy. Thanks.

I especially like his work on Vern Gosdin's 'Chiseled in Stone.'

Beautiful! Nice work, Erv.

What, only one BMW in this entire thread?

Thought you steelers liked precision machinery . . . . Shocked

'88 R100 GS(taken in '01). I can't ride anymore due to Parkinson's, but lot's of Airhead memories.

That's great! Love that sound.

I've had good results removing tacky plastic with a baking soda paste.

The pedal is set up so when I scroll up or down with the +/- buttons, it only cycles through three settings; E9, C6, & equal temperament. It's a lot faster and more fool proof than scrolling through modes on the Stroboplus hd. Brett, On the Stroboplus HD, the sweeteners you use most are at the ...

Nice piece.

Here he talks about the JCH.

I take them all off and do some cleaning and maintenance. I reinstall 1 through 5 and then 10 through 6. My choice of oil is 3-in-1. Here's a good YouTube video for the cleaning and maintenance you can do with the strings off:

I have a Steeler's Choice with sidecar, back-rest and power-strip. I only play at home now, so I prefer to use an unattached power strip. Makes it easier when I have to move the seat around. When I did play out, I found it very useful, and so did other band members :D . You didn't ask about the side...

Thanks Guy. This is a fun piece for uke. And on the Baritone uke, the tab goes full circle back to G (but not the notation of course.)

I'm enjoying it.

Loved that. Thanks Doug.

Nicely done!

The "Foundations" course is perfect for beginners and as a review for more experienced players. It costs $100 for a year and is an E9 course. He doesn't teach specific songs like Jeff Newman's Woodshed Workshops, although the Foundations course does include a couple of chord-melody version...

I hope to go to this event. Shoshannah's post says Sunday, May 7, and I assume this is what you meant.

It's beautiful. I especially love that fretboard.

Digging this the most. Really good steel playing, in my opinion. Beginning a long phrase with a theme (@ 55 min.) that calls to mind 'she left me crying in the chapel'--don't know if that really came to mind, but your themes evoke ones from my past. It's a road trip. For me it evokes Leonard Cohen'...

I got this MSA used in '93. When I learn to play it I may consider getting another.

I just play at home. Mostly with a headset. I've used both ways of tuning, and don't hear much difference. The Jeff Newman sweeteners in my Peterson Strobo HD do sound slightly better (less beating on chords) and are just as easy to use (SE9 for open strings and SP9 for pedals and levers), so I do -...

Amazing! You've really captured this classic piece. One of my favorites. And sans fingerpicks too.
