“ I Love You Because”. Backing Track

I am looking for a good backing track similar to the one “Lars Vagseter” uses on his version which is posted on Utube.

I have a few others but I don’t like the version or speed.. I prefer a slow tempo.

I am not sure how to copy the link to Utube too watch his version..

I have been fighting with this dilemma since I purchased my last “Steel” which has the E lower on RKL. It also has the “Franklin Pedal” at the O position. I feel more comfortable with the “E’s” on the left as in my other Steels. At one point I was going to change everything on my last Steel includin...

Chris,

I recently purchased a “Show-Pro” which came with the G# to B change on the Vertical. I was going to consider changing that pull to a B to Bb. However with the A and B pedal down with the vertical it makes better change for me.

When I had my extended E9 I purchased the .42 and .54 strings from the Forum Store. You can also order single strings from the manufacturer like D’Addario. I used the NYXL 12/38. Psg then added the .42 and .54.

Ditto on what Dale said. I spoke to Wayne a month or so ago as he setup one of my steels. He said he enjoyed painting houses and staying close to home and was not touring anymore.

On my LKV I have the change G# to B which I know is unusual (I think Paul Franklin had it at one time) but I am coming up with some combinations so I think I will leave it there. I may consider putting the B/Bb or some other ch...

I also just purchased a Show-Pro 4/5 Emmons setup with E lowered on RKL and the Franklin Pedal at the 0 position. Sorry for all the show and tell but I am thinking of ...

Well I think I joined that “Club” of @#&$$@$ new words when changing strings with pins on the changer. I have read all the archives for string changes and found one technique that worked great. That one was the eraser holding the ball on the pin of the changer. However newer changers may be diff...

Roger, I have 2 sets of split cases for different Steels. One set has wheels on the main case and the other does not. If you decide to go with split cases I would strongly recommend getting wheels on the main case. It makes handling much easier, I use a tote cart with the case that has no wheels. Ca...
