The Steel Guitar Forum

I remember in the late 1960s I had some Oahu sheet music like Abilene, Talk Back Trembling Lips and Steel Guitar Rag. Also I had a steel guitar course from US School of Music. Now that I’m back into steel guitar at age 70 I wish I could find some of these again. As a pensioner in Canada I can’t ...

I love The French Song and often play the version by the Dixie Aces.

Thankyou so much for the tab. This is a beautiful tab and it will really help me learn this wonderful song.

I love his video of Beyond the Reef where he is playing a pedal steel in front of a full symphony orchestra. He is a gifted player.

You get exactly what you pay for. I could have had Jackson build me a new pedal steel 2-necks for $6,000 - brand new and beautiful in looks and sound. Yet I bought one that was listed on their website for $10,000 which is much the same guitar but has custom ebony fretboard, abalone and mother-of-pea...

The girls are so cute . That's why I married one , They get mad and its puck you or even double puck you if she's really mad.

thank you I would love to connect with him

I would love to attend but I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the Hawaii festival in 2017.

My reason for this post is that I came to know a Filipino band from Olongapo who visited Calgary for the Calgary Stampede in 1982 and they were very good in my opinion. I drove them to a music store at the time where there was a Sho-Bud (I think) on display and I have wanted one ever since. This yea...

They have a lot of trouble saying 'fresh fish'. The term Filipino is correct, though, in the English language.

The one I recently bought A Jackson Shobud 1963 Madison

What a fabulous video of a great song by a great player!

Does anyone know how to contact this steeler in Denmark - he plays Hawaiian music very much like I want to learn?

Bobby Ingano If I can convince my sons to play, there will be more. :D You mention Bobby Ingano who is the first player I heard on youtube playing Waipio to inspire me to finally get started again after a hiatus of over forty years. I have emailed him several times but I have had no response so I'm...

Are there any Filipino Players on the forum ?

Me too. I really like the zirc bar another member has loaned me. It sounds good and it feels good.

Very nice, indeed!

I love her City Lights and Blue Jade

That's a thought

I used to collect stamps, diecast cars/trucks and model trains. Now I'm selling nearly everything since my interests have changed to the steel guitar and I paid a lot of money for the one I bought. I'm keeping my Australian and Japanese bus models but that's about it. I also love to travel. We go to...

How often to you get to hear a steel guitarist backed with the power of a full symphony orchestra?

The only one I have seen so far is Lion Kobayashi playing Beyond the Reef on pedal steel guitar in Japan. That is a really nice video on YouTube.

I really have no experience to compare my Jackson to any others - I bought it from Charlie Tryon recently to learn to play again after a 40 plus year hiatus - at that time I had a little rented Gibson 6-string with 3 pedals. I sure love this guitar, though, in the way it looks and the way it sounds.

I would love to get the tabs for this song please

Charlie I sent you an email directly on Sunday Did you receive it?
