The Steel Guitar Forum

This is very fascinating. Would love to know more about this.

I really like James Burton's dobro playing on Merle Haggard's stuff. Check out "Same Train, Different Time", the tribute album to Jimmie Rodgers. It's not flashy, but everything is super in tune, funky and just feels great.

Bobby, yes that's all I changed. I agree it shouldn't change the timing after inspecting the mechanism. So maybe something else is afoot. Or maybe it was never perfect and I'm just noticing this more now? I did try some other holes on those rods, but I need some time to experiment with balancing bot...

Hey all, I'm really happy to share Episode 3 of the Steel Guitar Podcast which features Steve Fishell a.k.a. "Fish" on the forum :) Steve gives a great rundown of his steel guitar journey, from his start in the California country rock scene, to playing in the Hot Band with Emmylou Harris &...

Thanks for your reply Jon. And yes, 10 and 5 obviously.

I agree that shouldn't change things. But I can't think of anything else that could have affected this. I'll think a bit more about it.

Hi all, I recently lowered the height of my ABC pedals and my steel feels a lot more comfortable. But after tweaking this, my 1st and 6th strings aren't *quite* in sync anymore. When I press the A pedal down, for the very first part of the throw only the 1st string bends. As I keep pressing, I can f...

Thanks all. Appreciate it!

Hey all,

Hey all! https://www.fretboardjournal.com/podcasts/announcing-steel-the-steel-guitar-podcast/ I'm stoked to share the first episode of Steel, a steel guitar podcast I've been working on with the Fretboard Journal. It'll cover the whole world of steel guitar - lap steel, pedal steel, builders, and a ...

Do these plugins work for with the UA Apollo interfaces? (Apologies if this is a naive question)

I read somewhere they used to do a regular radio show together. Is this true? And if so, does anybody know if there are any recordings?

Thanks Al. Best of luck in your next chapter.

So fun. Thanks for sharing.

Great playing Mikiya!

I was digging around for "Feet" Rogers music on youtube and I found the recording that kicked this thread off. It is well worth a listen for those who haven't heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYhWq9pzvPI This is the song that made me want to hear more of Feet. Also amazing playing. h...

I'd also take a bass side tuner as a backup.

Thanks!

Great playing!

I'm looking for a case for an early 50s fender D-8 dual professional, the model with the trapezoid pickups. Something like the following:



Thanks!

Great stuff!

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/peter-jackson-beatles-sneak-peek-1106383/ Peter Jackson is making a "found footage" movie about the recording of the Let it Be album. The sneak preview has a little shot of John playing some lap steel, around the 3:15 mark. I guess the tune is ...

Very nice sir.

My singer has been calling my solos by saying "Matt ... slide away on the slide" and every time I die a little bit inside.

Please close. This steel was sold off the forum. Thanks!
