The Steel Guitar Forum

You know, the SGF isn't the same without chris ivey.

bummer, bro.

Johnny Cox has relocated to Nashville and is no longer in SW MO.

I stand corrected. Or sit as the case might be.

You might call Johnny Cox down in Ozark...

Tom's pots are dope.

Big loss to the forum. Absolutely my favorite poster, by far. Nothing's forever...

Stay with it. Keep practicing. A mentor of mine once told me that 90% of success is showing up. Play the same song over and over and over again, and eventually you'll be able to play it blindfolded (or in Buddy's case, in the dark). Also, the forum is a great reference tool. Don't be afraid to reach...

I'm new to c6 myself, and didn't know how mine was strung, but after drawing up a copedent chart for the forum to see, I had all the answers I needed in five minutes. Just a thought.

I saw this and just wanted to say no. God Bless Nancy.

I might be alone here, but I chose the steel guitar because it isn't popular. If all your friends stood in front of a Mack truck...

Just this morning I found this website: http://www.rareelectricguitars.com/ I'm about five minutes away from requesting a price or two. Yes, I realize this isn't the real thing. Yes, I realize they skimp on pickup quality. How can they use copywritten/trademarked logos? How haven't the big guys shut...

Of course I have advanced theoretical knowledge. I also know that 4 out of 5 Americans consider themselves a "better than average" driver. And 73% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Do you think harmonics are possible on such an instrument?

But the steel guitar provides neither hydration, nor caloric intake...

If I were on a desert island, and had to choose between beer and a C6 lap? Beer, knee slaps, and working on my beat-boxing technique sounds like an excellent way to pass the time... Also, I've always needed an excuse to work on my whistling (or Tuvan throat singing). But I'm not an alcoholic. Those ...

Here's a light-hearted hypothetical question: Would you rather have, say $100,000, to ONLY spend on steel guitars for the rest of your life, and abstain from alcohol? Or the vice-versa of an unlimited bar tab but you must never pick up a steel guitar again? bOb's definition of "anything played ...

You know, I would have bought this three years ago. I'd still throw down $100 today. I'm sure I'm not the only one. As an aside, I'd like to thank Mickey for all of his selfless endeavors educating the PSG world. I hear "you should never give anything away for free" but I'm glad Mickey has...

I'm pleased to report that my guitar is back together. Mostly. And tuned up, sorta. Short list of dones (10 days or so): Pulled and napthanized the pull rods. Pulled and napthanized both changers. Scrubbed. Reassembled changers with 3 in 1. Wondered if there was any rhyme or reason to various change...

Update: Started project. Pull rods out. Changers out. Grime galore. Lessons learned so far: 1. Allen wrenches hurt breaking nuts. 2. Alcohol should be avoided for some tedious work. 3. Coffee should be avoided for precise fine motor work. 4. Surgeons would probably take up golf. 5. I used to think d...
