Hi Andy, pm sent.

Very nice Jon ! I attended my first yoga class with Steve Kimock playing the guitar live (and a real yoga teacher also :)) !! Funny to connect him to DL Lapsteel and Roosevelt :) To be honest I wish I could find a lap steel with a big sound, in the spirit of Roosevelt Lee boys, Campbell Brothers ......

Thanks David that's very kind of you. Funny the article in Premier is talking about a Lee Boys oversea tour in France back in 2003. In fact I saw the Lee Boys in "Cognac Blues Passion" in France that year without even knowing it just before Roy Hargrove RH Factor concert ! At that time I w...

Hello, I was wondering if you knew what lap steel brand/model Roosevelt Collier is playing on these pictures ? Is it a "homemade" project or does it relate to a known manufacturer ? Thanks a lot everyone. Bye https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/17789_5_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarf...

Hello PM sent.

thanks a lot Bill I'll look into that and will let you know.

Hello reader :), I have a guyatone lap steel S8 wich has two pickups like the one on the picture here and I have a problem with the output on the high E string. It seems like the volume is lower than the 2 previous strings, it has somehow less punch. That is annoying because a lot goes melodywise on...

Thanks a lot for the tab, very nice version !

That's what I was looking for thanks Mike sounds nice ! And very nice version of Andy too, very enjoyable.

Hey Anthony ! Great !

Hello Dom, you're right I asked Anthony and he replied it was C6 with pedals. If I was to play pedal steel that's definitely that kind of thing I'd like to go to !

Hello, yep it is pedal steel "unfortunately" That is so nice anyway, relly love the chords you can get with that instrument ! Really nice taste in Anthony Locke's rendition !

Hello everyone. I have a tuning question, I wanted to try to work on this song using that absolutely beautiful version : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA6wmKqdFHw That is Anthony Locke playing, what a player ! So my searches got me ending at a B11 tuning resembling an A6 with a D#, he talks about ...

Again thanks a lot for your advice, it's narrowing it down :
tricone / square neck/ 6 string. Now let's find it !

Thanks Douglas for all these infos it is really helping. Thanks also Guy and K Maul for your input. So I didn't know the differences btw spider & biscuit bridges, square/round. I thought it was only a raised nut thing. I am more into lap steel sound, say western swing jazz with a touch of sacred...

Hi everyone, I started a topic the other day on acoustic solutions for Lap Steel and after recommendations I think I might get a 6 string resonator that I would tune to A6 for practice during vacation. I know it's best to buy vintage usually as many here recommend buying vintage lap steels like magn...

Used to play this song on guitar, love the Pick Hits album, that is so nice Mike, thanks for sharing !

Hello, I am bumping that topic ! I wanted to share some experiment on this song. I am a beginner lap steel player and that's one I really wanted to be able to play. Unfortunately I quickly found it was very challenging to play without pedals ... Plus I could not find Mike Neer's version anymore ... ...

Jeff, Joe ! Thanks there is light at the end of the tunnel

Hi everyone I am still thinking this through. Do you think I could have an A6 tuning over a Dobro ? I don't easily find information on that with the search criterias on the forum. Is that possible ? For me that would be best as I am totally in that tuning, even with 6 strings, I could still play the...

Thanks friends for all your comments. I already have a small vox amp where I put a lead battery so that's not really the way I want to go. I thank you for pointing me to the PBS gold tone resonator. I might also consider a 6 string maybe ... that could be cheaper and have more options available. I w...

Hi everyone ! I was asking myself on how to play the lap steel when on vacation where I would have no electricity. Does 8 string acoustic lap steels exist or do I have to stick with 6 strings like dobros (I play a fender champ copy (guyatone 8)) ? If you have any suggestion on such a musical device ...

yeah Kevin I didn't know that thank you. In fact I already play nightlife on 8 strg lapsteel in A6 tuning and surprsingly that works pretty ok. I assumed that since B.Emmons played it on psg it was in E9 ... what a nice song !

Again T H A N K S a lot for your advices extremely valuable. I will follow them, I'll pass, I'm not familiar enough with how a psg works and this look like a lot of work without being certain with the results and reachnig my pirmary goal : playing "nightlife" (well and others !) on a psg. ...

Thanks a lot David. I am not that familiar with the undercartriage of pedal steels and it can get pretty complicated to my eyes. I can be a handyman though and I found that wensite that has parts : https://www.psgparts.com/ don't know if it could fit the fuzzy. Here are some more pics to narrow the ...
