The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks for all the tips, guys!
I've got to admit it, spit works............

Propick, or Jeff Newman. Either or. Just falls off mostly, or gets caught in a string.
I'll definitely try spit, thanks!

I don't remember having this trouble when I played decades ago. Just starting back again, and no matter how I adjust it, can't seem to get it to stay on my middle finger.
Ideas or suggestions? Gorilla glue?

Thanks for any and all help.

If that's 170, I definitely want it faster than that.
PM'd my e-mail....

That would be great Jim, thanks
85 BPM in E ( or G ) will work.
I used to use BIAB and loved it. But it's too old now.

Thanks everyone. Some good choices there!
Yea, there's lots of humbucker choices out there, but not all are made with steel guitar in mind. Plus, the guitar is routed for a P-90, so unless I get a P-90 sized humbucker, I'll be doing some additional routing ( worth it for a cool pickup ).

Anyone know where I can find a decent ( or better ) backing track for this song?

I posted earlier that my daughter got me a Recording King P-90 lap steel. I have 2 problems... One, it sounds okay, but it doesn't really sound like a steel. I had a # of lap steels when I was young, and my National was the 1st one to sound like a steel guitar. That's the 1st reason for changing the...

Thanks Erv, Peter, and Allan. That answered my question(s)!

My daughter ( bless her heart ), bought me a Recording King lap steel for my retirement. I'm wondering why when I look at string sets, the thicker ones say G tuning. Couldn't I use them for Open E? Or am I missing something? I understand about string tension, but it's a lap steel, not a 6 string gui...

I'm still exploring other options, so the pickup is still available.....

Cody, if this is a humbucking pickup, I'd want it, if I can PayPal you as a gift.

I know it may sound silly, but is this a humbucking pickup? If so, I'd be interested.

Fred, is that a humbucking pickup?

Olin, is this a humbucking pickup?

Need for my lap steel.

So......what are you getting to replace it?

Steve, are these still available?

I had been searching high and low for a Western Swing version of Panhandle Rag. Not only did I get that, but I had also been trying to find a decent one of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Found all sorts, but weren't what I was looking for. Now I got it! I used to play steel ( had to change jobs, got st...

Had this in my practice cab WAY back when I used to play steel.
