You are too kind. Feels a little like I'm cheating off the smarter kid's homework, but I'll take it. Thank you again.

Much obliged. I will get to work and quit eating up your time, sir.

Thank you again, Johnny.

Is it pestering to ask what prompted you to move the Dirty 9 pedal to the end from pedal 5? It sounded like you were pretty comfortable with that position in your demonstration video.

Thanks, Mike. Looks like he refined it quite a bit. That 2 1/2 step raise made me think of and old Jeff Newman joke from the '80s about wound strings. Something about the spelling working both ways, "wound" as in the string being wrapped in a winding, and and "wound," as in "...

Just noticed the raise of a P4 G# to C# on RR2. Is that accurate?

Without the b7, my brain twists it into a D6/9+11 (IV of A major) or an E11 (V) with only one 3rd. Looks daunting.

Stopped in. Still there and has "Made for CLC by Sho-Bud," scribbled on it. Also has "Sho-Bud 1989" and "Sho-Bud 1991" scribbled underneath. Random raises and lowers per string? Bride of Frankensteel? https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/18209_1805_1.jpg It's got...

Johnny, I've been watching this copedent evolve and am convinced. I also find myself with the time to lock myself in the woodshed for a handful of months. Before I start ripping things apart and reconstructing, are you still using the 8 and 6 configuration you were using in July, or have you refined...

Seems as though not many people who travel to the deeper places you go are able to articulate where they've been or give a glimpse of what influenced their path. It's a gift. Thanks for sharing it, Susan.

Eye opening...and humbling. That you've not only refined the execution but put in the work to dig to the roots and soul is rare. My answer to the question of where ideas I'm working with come from usually involves naming an album, missing the boat. Thanks for shaking things up, Susan.

Wild. Definitely has that "Still Warm" Scofield pitch twist thing happening (Without the nasty ProCo bark). Not your everyday CE-2 sound, though. I'm more on the dry, angular side of things like McLaughlin era Miles, but I must admit I had a certain fascination with Stern's "Upside Do...

Steamin' take. The modulation sounds very Scofield but has it's own unique (maybe a little Leslie'ish?) flavor. What is it?

Curious to hear the difference. Did you hear of any plans to post A/B sound comparisons? Side note - Wonder if the chatter/scoring on the finger's bearing surface (I think that's what I see in the picture) from the traditional style string will become a buzzing or even tuning problem with the plain ...

Wondering if this is still available, and, if so, curious what the 8th pedal pulls are.

I've no clue what it is, but it's an impressive, if unintentional, steampunk design. Does it function, currently?

Looks like a Flintsone's version of Speedy West's guitar...and it appears to be missing it's carburetor.

Man...talk about hitting the spot. Those tangy chords and rhythm stabs on "Gentle on My Mind" make me remember when hearing Chalker and Emmons on "Home in San Antone" made me want to play whatever was making THOSE SOUNDS. I had heard OF this album but don't think I'd heard it. Th...

Thanks for elucidating, Susan. The performance has a touch of alchemy. Soothing Dissonance. Magic. And it now seems as though the process may be nearly as engaging as the results. Thanks again for performing and posting both versions.

Ahhh... When I read Chris' question, I immediately pictured sitting behind a steel staring at a manuscript chock full of nightmarish accidentals and arcane rhythmic figures...then passing out.

I'm curious about that too, Chris. Is there a conventional score involved in a project like this, Susan? Maybe some type of intervallic short hand?

Flatitude...Thread definitely should have ended with Flatitude. Nothing more to say from that point, really.

Great colors! Fantastic performance.

Thank you for posting. Keep up the hard work.

Smooth as silk. Impeccable. Gorgeous.
