The Steel Guitar Forum

I think that either a singer or a band has a vision of them with a steel guitar contributing to the sound of the group. If this is not the case then how can they deal with the pressense of a steel guitar?

Thanks guys,

Andy,
I'm kind of liking the open E7 tuning I found on the Sacred Steel site. Do you know what the string gauges are on the eight string tuning?

I am playing a 10 string non-pedal steel with a ZZ Top cover band, and would like any suggestions with regard to a tuning that would be appropriate. I currently am using a C13 open tuning. Thanks.

I am interested in finding out if anyone is using the "Holy Grail" reverb manufactured by Electro Harmonix. They also make what is called the "Holier Grail" reverb unit.Just wondering how it sounded with steel.

Help guys! My Fender twin has a whistling sound which comes and goes. It sounds very much like a tea kettle whistling. The funny thing is, it's intermitant. I played using the amp last night and thought the whistling was gone, but tonight I practiced using the same amp and it's whistling again. What...

I am trying to find out the chords which make up the song "I Wonder". This is an old Asleep at the Wheel song writen by Leroy Preston and sung by Chris O'Connel from an LP. Rosanne Cash also recorded the song.

Is there any difference in the performance of a speaker based on the materials which the speakers enclosure is made of? For instance, is a particle board baffle superior to a plywood baffle? I am particularly interested the difference a solid wood enclosure makes in the tone of a speaker.

Does anyone play through a Fender Bandmaster?

Does anyone still manufacture a volume/tone pedal like the old Bigsby or Fender pedals? If the are manufatured, where could they be purchased?

Is there a correct ratio between the power output of an amplifier and the wattage rating of a particular speaker for optimum
performance and tone.

Does anyone have a preference for a 15" speaker in a Fender Twin Reverb for PSG?
