The Steel Guitar Forum

Tim, Good to see you're here! I've got most of your videos and love them all. If you haven't already done it you should go to the buy & sell section of the forum and let folks know about your teaching tapes. Buck "Blue Cryn' Steel" O'Brien http://www.b0b.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.b...

Jim, best you only play where they sell "lite" beer. +grin+

Great idea Jim! -- That's like the little M&M round plastic containers make good bar containers.--- Another idea, I take a simple sponge (3 X 4 or so), cut a "V" in the center and set it on my stand beside the guitar to put my bar into when I want to set it down. Also cut a "slit&...

Some how I had some happy faces in that, now there gone, but I can't erase this post. Wow, musta had a brain fart.<p <p ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b">[This message was edited by Buck OBrien on 09-16-99]</FONT></P>

Been tryin' to work out some of the John Hughy licks. Try this one, played early in the song "Look at Us". Song is played in E flat. +Fret 11 Open (one Chord- Ed )- one count (don't block) +Fret 11 A&B Ped.(four chord)- one count (don't block) +Fret 11 Open (one Chord)- one count (Slid...

Check out that lick I put on on 7/25 entitled "Hair Raisn' Bridge". Redo that one using strings 3 & 5, insted of 5 & 6. Much better that way. (Actually that's how its done in the song)-----You guys keep cool, I'm out a here for two weeks vacation to the Camon Islands!!!! (When I se...

This is just a little four count fill to go in at the end of a prase, almost as an echo. Example in "A". Each of the "triplets" get one count. 3_(one)_(one count)_____(one count)____(one)_ 4___________________________________________ 5__5___________6a____________5a_______5_____ 6...

Thanks Rick, That sounds like a good one. I like that "B-D" (pedal-lever)to A-F (pedal - lever) shift. I use it in other places too. Have a good day! Buck "Blue Cryn'Steel"

This is an eight count bridge in the key of A. I got it from the group Wine & Roses on their song "Real Ladies Man" They use it as a bridge from the One chord A at the end of the verse to the four chord opening of the chorus. Its eight counts, the first of the counts is when the A (one...

1. You're playing your one chord ending of "D" at fret 10 open. Strings 5,6,8 Then: 2. Play one count of fret 10 pedals on, and (block) 3. Play one count of fret 10 open, with the 8th string lowered, (block) 4. Play one count of fret 8 open, with the 8th string lowered. Slide this to: 5. F...

Guil, Yep you can do most anything you want on that D-10. I've got a Shobud D-10 Superpro. If you want give me an "E" mail at my home and we can chat back and forth. Maybe I can be of some help to you getting started. I've got loads of stuff tabbed out in hard copy that I'd be happy to sha...

"C to G" ???

Try this for a neat ending. Can start from the one chord at any open position. I'll use "A" as an example. + Play "A" (your last one chord), strings 4,5,6 at fret five. + Now slide those strings to fret eight and add the "b" pedal and "d" knee lever. + Now roc...

This is a really sweet turn around that, I think, I pulled from some of John Hughy's stuff.----I can't figure how you guys do tab so I'll do it in more simple language. Most chords get one count but you can make it into what ever fits your turn around. I'll do it in "A" chord but it can st...

COOOOL, Thanks Kevin!

Thanks Rick, I'll try that one.

Ernie Polock just taught me a really neat way to modulate from one chord to another.----When you are playing the last stanza of the song and you are about go to the 5 chord, go insted to the 5 chord of THE NEW KEY (for the number of beats left in the stanza) then slide to the new one chord. Try it, ...
