Does anyone have the intro for this song as it is played on the will the circle be unbroken cd by the dirt band?
Thanks, Mike

Loren,
I am brand new to PSG. I just got word that my stage One will be shipped on Friday so I need a bar. If you think any of the bars you have left will suit a beginner, I'll take one. Let me know, Thanks. Mike

Michael, The other newbie Michael here. I am in NY state too. I am about 45 mins south of Rochester. If you are nearby, I know there is another member outside of Rochester also. If you are close let me know. Mike

Hi Mike, Another newbie here. Like I am about 3 weeks ahead of you. There is tons of info on the forum, and the members are very helpful. I will tell you to be careful buying your first PSG. I made the mistake of not knowing what I wanted/needed and ended up buying not 1 but 2 used guitars from a lo...

I finally got tired of trying to set up the used "Emmons" that I bought. I is difficult to get it to stay in tune, and the pedal/knee lever set up isn't correct. After reading a lot of posts on this forum I called Doug from Stage One who was incredibly helpful and ordered a new guitar from...

OK, I am a rank beginner here. I am open to your suggestions and expertise. I went to the site but am a little confused. Should I start with the "up from the top" series? or start with the first video course on fundamentals? Thanks, Mike

OK, here are some pics of the under carriage of Emmonstein" I did a web search and saw some Emmons student models that look similar. The body has a dark wood. I was suspicious about the fret board as none of the Emmons I saw has the same type as my guitar. Thanks again. Mike http://bb.steelguit...

How long will it take for me just to learn the lingo let alone how to play this darn thing? Mike

Oh no, a "franken Emmons" ?

OK folks here are some pics of my guitar. And Mike, Thanks for the tip on the book. I already have it. Glad to know that it will serve me well. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1403/14904_emmons1_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1403/14904_emmons2_1.jpg I am going to clean it up and ...

I just got back from House of Guitars in Rochester yesterday and they swapped me for an Emmons. (or what I believe is an Emmons) I learned from my 1st experience that I don't know beans about these things. 3 Pedals and 1 lever. Anyway, I am going to restring it and tune it this week. I figure I can ...

As I started to clean it up, I have found some of the rods are bent, and some parts are missing. I talked to the owner or the shop and he is willing to take it back and swap me for an intact Emmons 10 string that is already set up. I am going to look at it this week. I don't want to have to find som...

Any help from the experts would be appreciated.
Thanks Mike

I finally have some pics to post. Any help identifying just what I have would be appreciated. As one of the posters above said, It might be a "Franken Bud" I never heard that term before, but I like it! LOL. I posted a pic of the case it was in too so you can see what condition it was in b...

Greetings Everyone. I have been skulking around the forums for a week or so trying to find some basic information. Here is my situation. I had a Maverick back in the late 70's that I played (I was a rank amateur). I haven't touched a pedal steel since then but have always wanted to really learn. The...

Mel, I'd like the Volume pedal if it is still available. PM me with details. Thanks, Mike
