The Steel Guitar Forum

I lower my A's a half step, and raise my first string D a whole step to E . If you don't have the C-C# I would seriously consider it, I use it a lot

Frank is a great guy, great friend, great builder, and really great player, and also has a really,really, really great wife who supports everything he does.

That is truly a pair of legends,and they are both my friends, and my heroes. I hope Bobby remembers me. They are 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet. Thanks for posting the photo

I love it, I always wanted to learn that tune. Maybe that's the push I need to learn it. Your version is great and with a killer rhythm track, Keep up the good work, CATT

Great job on a great tune. Awesome how good you have got on C6, I'm digging your tunes

That guitar is beautiful, I love the shade of blue they used. Congratulations Roger, glad it will be in your hands,I know it will get played, a lot. CATT

Really cool Rose, great playing and song choice, as always. Really enjoyed it. We'll have to compare song lists in Dallas this year. CATT

Nice job Dale, sounds great. I'm digging your playing. I'm working on that tune also. Keep up the great work. CATT

Really nice, you guys did a great job. You guys both sound great on your steels

Check out Herb Steiner's web site, he has a C6 essay, which shows what chords you get with the pedals and pedal combos. Really helpful when starting out on C6, Good Luck, have fun. Steve Catt

I have all of Jim's CD's and love listening to them all. No matter what style he's playing he always sounds great, killer tone and intonation, all those things I'm still searching for. Rick Schmidt and I think so much of Jim we named a minor chord position after him, now it's the Cohen minor. His 2m...

I think John Swain has it for C6

Great job Rose, thats a great version of a really cool song. I love hearing it , and playing it. Nice band also, I always get a kick out of Harry's playing, and the Palousek's did great too. Keep up the good work. Catt

Doug is in a class of his own, nobody plays the tunes he can. Buddy might have been able to, but it would be from memory, Doug reads it.Besides playing classical, he plays jazz standards extremely well, check out My Cherie Amour on You Tube. I've been lucky to play with him a few times, what a treat...

Thanks again to Harvey for setting up the jam, it was a lot of fun. Great hearing everyone do their thing.Big thanks to Frank & Fran Carter for bringing the Biab and screen to make the whole jam work. Earnest, I'll pay for your gas next jam,I could have used another jazz guy, and it is so enjoya...

I dig it, cool song that I didn't know about. Your tone is killer, and your chops too. Your soloing is better and better everytime I hear you, really like hearing you play. Keep up the great work. Catt

Spit doesn't work for me, Liquid Rosin works for me . You have to pry the picks off .

P.S. Why am I dragging around a double ten when you are playing everything I want to hear on a 6 or 8 string lap steel. I'll have to ponder that for a while. Keep up the good work. Catt

Very cool Doug, really in tune with great tone, just nice to listen too. I think you teamed it up with" If I Had You " a while back , and it sounded so good I had to learn it. Thanks for turning me on to your great versions of these great tunes. Don't know why I didn't think of Endless Sum...

Hey Roger, I'm glad you brought your guitar back to life, I know how much you enjoy playing it. I tried working on my steel once with horrible results, one little change and it was unplayable. It makes me realize how lucky I am to be a half hour away from Jim Palenscar's Steel Guitars of North Count...

I miss Tommy too, his sets were something I looked forward to every year. His cool songs that nobody else played, and he played them with such excitement and enthusiasm, a joy to listen to.He heard me play in Phoenix and was one of the first people to tell me how much he enjoyed my set. It really ma...

M ight be worth schlepping, I heard it, and it sounded great Catt

Liquid Rosin works great

Thanks for the nice words, means a lot coming from you guys.I don't know about hitting it out of the park, but out of the infield anyway. Funny thing about the photo is my hands lining up with the wall sconces, what were the odds of that happening. Jim Cohen made a puzzle out of it. I like the photo...

Dale, that is beautiful, really enjoyable to listen to. I play that song on C6, and thought I had a pretty good version, but I like your version better. Funny, I assumed you were on C6 until the harmonics at the end when I saw you were on E9. Keep up the great work Catt
