The Steel Guitar Forum

Impossible to make offer for this guitar without details. Peewee is unresponsive to PM's asking for more info. I purchased a T8/10/8 from P.A. in 1956. Cost with add ons for 10 string-neck,leg braces and 6 pedals was $1000. This 1958 receipt (written by P.A.) does not mention charge for wood necks.M...

Hello John: I missed free copy. Can I purchase a
copy? How do I do that? Bill

Hello John: Please send copy to galvan24540@gmail.com
Thank you, Bill

See post by David Slama dated 30 April 2023 I bought this guitar from David in May. For personal reasons, I am not able to pursue plans to learn to play acoustic.I have installed new strings, and bought a guitar stand, a KORG acoustic tuner, a Shubb bar and a neck strap. I also have two books on beg...

I Need tab book for Seymour's Masters Collection CD

This tuning has identical minor triads spaced two frets apart everywhere on the fretboard i.e. strings 3,5 and 7 at fret 4 (Fm)and strings 4,5 and 8 at fret 6. This rendition of the Webb/Cambell Classic uses both of those chords. No reason, just because they're there. I write a draft in pencil then ...

Does anyone know of a source for 12 string (with
or without treble clef) tab forms for uni tunes?

Hello Norm; I sent you PM on July 10

Andy: You are amazing! Producing that tab "on the week-end". I've played steel for 70+ years and it would take me weeks, maybe months, to do that. Do you have a secret method. Will you share it? Just great. You are a
huge asset to the S.G. world.

A stroke seriously damaged my hearing in 2018. I can no longer(after 70years) play pedal-steel with groups or with tracks. I now play only non-pedal for my own entertainment. I use a VOX AmPlug 2 in-line with a KORG GA chromatic tuner and SENNMEISER HD200 phones. This set up works great and costs le...

Can anyone send me a copy of HOLD IT? Just written
tab, no audio. Newman, Loessberg, Steiner or anyone,
any tuning.I will pay reasonable cost.

Just listened (for the first time) to two of your
videos. Great singing and steel playing. I'm going
to listen to all your songs. What do you use for
back-up accompaniment? Is that a Melbert 10 string you're playing?

1949. I was 13 years old and my parents thought I should have some kind of musical education. They suggested the piano because it would give me a solid foundation for any musical genre I might pursue. But I wanted to play the trumpet. I had seen a guy(Harry James)in the movies and he was married to ...

I would like to obtain a copy of Loessberg's or
Emmons' tab for R.T.D. Tab only, no audio material

I wanted a special shape(tapered)for my Melbert
Deluxe 10-string. Leigh made it in less than a
week. High quality, reasonable pricing and
outstanding customer service. If you need a
cover for your guitar-you know what to do.

I know that this discussion is 7 years old but just in case anyone's still interested while I was waiting for my new Bigsby (2 year waiting list) in the early 50's I asked Paul if he knew of any used guitars for sale. He had one and I bought it. It was a reversed single neck. I later found that it w...

Ron: Check your P.M.'s

Great work Kevin. Your "before" pics don't show covers (hand-rests).
Where can I buy them for my T8 Console Grande? Again, this is a
real craftsman restoration. Beautiful.

Grapevine says Ron and Thunder will be performing at the Water Wheel
in Norco. Ca. on March 11th. W.W. is on 6th street in Old Town. Can
anyone confirm?

Good News!! Today (Feb 26th) I received the materials I ordered on February 10th. The envelope indicates that Jeffran paid $7.25 for PRIORITY MAIL 2-DAY and the USPS promised to deliver by Feb 15th. Can we blame Trump for this? Maybe not. He has enough problems. Jeffran had a special at the time I o...

Does anyone know what as happened at Jeffran?
On Feb 10th I ordered and paid for $75 worth of materials. As of
Feb 23rd I have received nothing. I have sent three e-mails and
received no replies. I hope it's nothing serious. Maybe just
computer problems.

I mounted my Clinesmith on a Deluxe 34 stand with a Don Blood armrest. Works and looks really good. There's a 2" space between the guitar and the armrest where I mounted a box to hold picks/bar/string winder, etc. I'd like to show pictures but I don't know how to put them on the Forum. I think ...

Thanks for the tab Mr. Russell. I have wanted to learn this song for a
long time. Now, with your tab, it will be easy. Great job.

What ever he tells you is the best way to go.

Doug: I certainly have done this. See my posting, "Morphing' Is More Fun",
in this section on July 4th 2017. Any new D.B. tab in the works?
