The Steel Guitar Forum

I have been working on my Peavey Nashville 1000 for several weeks now. I sent Peavey an email and left phone messages asking for schematics or a service manual with no response from Peavey. I realize that my amp is way past warranty and to be fair Peavey has the right to protect proprietary circuit ...

Thank you, Buddy, for enriching our lives with your music. Rest well.

My heartfelt condolences to the Ayers family. I am saddened to hear this news.

Cooool! B-2 Bomber pickups!!

Sad news. Eric and I were "virtual friends" on the forum and the old Off Topic. It brings a smile to my face thinking that Eric is now in Heaven playing with his old dogs!

Rest in peace my friend...

In the dead of the night
in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills
the place that I call home

Thank you , Hazel. Rest in peace.

Dave was a dear friend. I can't tell you how much I will miss him. Dave and I started a band back in 1980 when we could play a gig and then stay up all night long jamming to perfect our licks and learn our craft. In between songs we would joke and laugh - the real gut buster laughs that you never fo...

Compression should be subtle. If you can hear it you may be over-doing it. When you are tracking -be conservative. you can always add more later but you can't uncompress once recorded. experiment... over-do it to hear the "pulsing" or "breathing" of the music so you know what to ...

single malt scotch works for me.

I use a Rode K2 at home and it sounds great.

The original posted question was (I think) "what is country music, exactly?" Well, country music is not really an EXACT music , is it? So, the question is an impossible question. Now, if the question is -- what is country music, in our opinion (not exactly)? Now everybody is entitled to th...

But ...Hendrix was better than Clapton! ...or was it Page Music is art and technical knowledge and complexity have little to do with how well a song or solo works. Please don't make me bring up the intro to a certain CS&N song!! You know, that simple memorable tasteful intro by that person that ...

The thing about personal taste is it's always changing. That is ...if you try new things. The more new things you try the more you discover that comparing one good thing to another is pointless. Is the best cheeseburger you ever had better than than the best burrito or gyro? Many of the same ingredi...

Garth is someone you pay to see.

Merle is someone you pay to listen to.

Bob Dylan...well, there are exceptions to everything,

Bob Dylan..... Lay Lady Lay.

I saw Daniel Johnston at The Venue in Salt Lake City last week. The local band backing him had a pedal steel guitarist (Fessy S-10)! Daniel came on stage holding on to a can of Mountain Dew - spilled some on his shirt and the front row. He sang "Speeding Motorcycle" with a steel behind him...

I always thought Hank Williams was the biggest hillbilly influence on country music. His influence was huge and probably helped spawn Rockabilly. Bill Monroe was a huge influence on Rock music with Elvis recording his Blue Moon Of Kentucky. Bill Monroe's best band was when hippies Peter Rowan and Ri...

Nice pickin' John!!

I bought one of your mandolin teaching DVDs and I don't recall seeing any of those licks in it!

Now that I think of it, it was titled Rhythm Mandolin - OK, so where do I get some of those licks?
