Awesome! sent you a PM

Are you wanting "Life's Railway To Heaven"? I have that tabbed out and I will send you a copy at no charge. I offer a free gospel tab every month. I'll have to charge you postage to Israel, though. Erv :D I know that this song is very famous. The question is if you have the exact version ...

Somebody can write accurate tabs for this song?
It's just fantastic.
I'll pay for his time and effort and will be happy to share this with whoever will want.


Let me know the deal!

Thanks

Hey I will be moving from Israel to Florida for a while. can be 6-15 months. Believe it or not, but from all the many many consequences involved in that decision, my first (ok maybe second) thought was about finally finding a Pedal Steel teacher ! Do you know somebody around? any Pedal Steel activit...

I'm intrigued by your being an Israeli steel player. What's the nature of the gigs you have in Israel? Bars that feature C&W? Private parties? What kind of folks are in your audience? You guys will be surprised, recently more folk and indie country bands showing up. I know in Israel maybe 3-4 s...

Having a great time with my 20 years old 2 neck GFI ULTRA, I need another steel, (1 neck) for practice and gigs that will sound amazing, and be very well built, since I'm living in a place no one cant understand this instrument and how he can be taken care of in the technical way. Just me, the playe...

What all of the others have said, since #1 it all makes sense. But on a side topic: I notice that you have some masking tape on the front of your steel, presumably to mark fret/note/chord positions. That standard masking tape can be dangerous to finishes, especially paint. (It may not affect mica, ...

Thank you all very much!
Especially Paul of course!

Im very grateful and full of inspiration now to get it done.

Got work to do!

Hello all. i got stainless steel dunlop 7/8 bar ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00079R5SO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) And i saw Paul saying that chrome bar sounds more "right" while stainless can be too bright . considering to get a 7/8 inch chrome round bar. Im ...

Appriciate it a lot.
Thank you all, great great tips and feedback.

Lets go to work!

Hello all! Im 2 years into the pedal steel, i can feel the progress. but my main issue that prevents me for being a legit "player" is the pitch problem, that just not getting better! it happens more from fret 7-8, seems like i need a good exercise or something? maybe a good tip from you go...

Im looking to buy StroboPLUS HD after 10 days of waiting and in the last minute lost the auction
I live in Israel.

Thanks you all!

Thank you all!

That would be the infamous "cabinet drop" effect that you will read about often on this forum. It is inherent to most steel guitars, except for maybe some of the Very high-end brands. What kind of tuner are you using? If it can offset notes by "cents", then I can send you my per...

Hello All I got GFI ULTRA steel that i love. well, i playing like 18 months in the instrument, i dont know if this problem accured in the beginning, maybe my ears was not trained enough, but now its getting very annoying and almost impossible to record. I think the problem comes from this simple rea...

Hello all I got my steel with long legs and pedal rods and i took it to a place to cut it down for 15CM. it was too much. i cant play now at all and im living in Israel, where that kind of gear cannot be obtained anywhere. maybe someone is selling and can recommend me a solid place to buy 8 rods and...

Hello everybody! I find myself a little bit struggling with accurate tuning with my steel even with a tuner. Back in the days i was with Bucky Baxter, GREAT player and he showed me a method tuning with overtones, with hearing the sound waves. It was great, BUT it was a long time ago and i just didnt...
