Time Jumpers. Paul

I’ve tried all the sweeteners I can find and although I always like the sound when I play by myself It never sounds right when I play with others. So I always go back to “straight” tuning, or whatever you call it with a Peterson and no sweetener. The other day on a whim I just tuned by ear using the...

This one’s from those crazy South Park boys. Caution: some R-rated lyrics but the steeling is solid. I’m wondering who hooked up with them?

The Call. 1982 Me on keys on the right. Garth Hudson on keys on the left

A few years into learning this thing and it’s always my foot that’s my weakness. Sometimes I’m plagued by not getting a pedal all the way down so after a while I’ll adjust it higher to see if that helps which it might temporarily. Other times it’s the opposite and I don’t completely clea...

Thanks, all. Paul, that’s funny, I had just found that lesson right as you posted.

Growl may not be the best description but it is a single string thing. Here he is on a rocker:

Real quickly at 1:26 then again at 4:55

Thanks guys, good info here as always. I have assumed that the starting place on the amp was a ton of bass but Tucker your advice is well taken. I’m trying that in my next jam. Of course I’ll never have Paul’s hands but we can still try our best. And I knew new strings would figure in. Ugh. Ti...

It’s not necessarily specific to Paul but I hear it on many of his recordings. The low notes (E9 neck) have almost a trebly growl which sounds great. There’s no amount of amp tweaking I can do to even get a hint of that (NV112). So I’m forced to conclude it’s one of his boxes. Does anyone kn...

That was great!

Dayum!

I remember being asked, “can you play Far, Far Away?”

Another big thumbs up for recording yourself. I consider myself pretty sub-mediocre but every now and then when I listen to myself recorded I think “say, that sounds like a real steel”. That’s pretty fun.

Very tasteful!

Oops, operator error. I got it figured out. Disregard

Can I ask a question about Guitar Map installation here? Apologies if I shouldn't. When I try to install I get to a screen which is labeled "Guitar Map Installation Setup" and says to "click on this button to install...." but the only buttons are "change directory" or E...

I’ll take the matchbox if you still have it. Pm sent

That was just right. Very tasty!

I had a height problem with a name brand seat $350-$400. Then I knew what to suggest on my next $400 seat. $800 in seats.......Yeah $50 - $60 piano bench adjustable height. $25 Case from harbor freight. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/5257_IMG_2061_7.jpg Waddya know? That’s the exact ...

I’ve been at this thing for a couple of years now and it feels like my weak link, other than everything, is the left foot. I’m either accidentally leaving a bit of pressure on a pedal pulling a string sharp, or pressing A or B and leaking over to the other pedal a bit. Or not quite getting one a...

That was great! Another thumbs up on the ending.. I’m going to steal that 😉

Thanks, Will. At least someone listened😉 I listened and enjoyed your playing. Very tasteful guitar, and YOU listening to and COMPLIMENTING the song and singer with your playing is key. I see you sold your Expo in January. What guitar do you currently play? Thanks for posting the link, Lance Than...

Thanks, Will. At least someone listened😉
