Yes, I ordered the full georgeboards package and to my dismay it’s all C6 which I’m starting to hate more and more by the day… A6 is what I’m focused on so the videos are relevant if I transpose them but that’s quite inconvenient for someone learning an instrument… I’ve emailed John El...

I’m on Windows! Thanks for the clarification. I believe I’ll start using the vst version the most…

I'm a beginner BIAB user. Even with Ray Price shuffles, when I load something up it just sounds cheezy as hell. Like midi notes on really bad vst's. Can anyone help me get my tracks sounding better?

I have tons of instructional material at this point, but ALL of it is centered around C6/A6. Does anyone know where I can get solid E13 lessons?

A standard 7/8 bar is fine. I very much like a lighter bar for nonpedal because I tend to pick up the bar a lot. 7.5-8 oz is common, I like 6.5oz. Todd Clinesmith made my most recent bar. Black delrin, 6.5oz, 7/8 x 3-3/8. I use it on pedal and non pedal. 3/4 diameter is great on an 8 string. If you...

I ordered a custom black delrin 6.5 oz tone bar. I noticed speedy uses black bars. They're light. Maybe that will help me. I don't wanna fake it.

Wow, that is really a nice steel...congrats...I am sure you will enjoy it for a long time ! This spring I will have my T8 Stringmaster back and I am really looking forward to it, so I can understand your excitement ! Yes! Thank you what a blast it has been to play and learn on. I also figured out w...

He has a “Lap Steel” model and a “Pedal Steel” model that’s slightly bigger, I cannot find any of the lap steel tone bars on the web, and breezy ridge instruments is sold out of them. I’m wandering,,, since I have a T8, should I just get the Pedal Steel Model... maybe the lap steel model...

Damn, that sucks, I don’t wanna get old :c

I don’t think we’re on the same page. I don’t think speedy west used a stutter, it appears he just slams the bar down while turning the tone knob at the same time...

Man.... anybody know a way I can install this kind of thing on my non pedal steel?

Hahahaha you get what u pay for. And get payed for what you get... I guess.

This is something I first saw done in Buddy Merrill’s performance of “South” on the variety show, but now I see where he got it from… give “Railroadin’” by Speedy West a listen and he does it early on. My god he does it fast. I don’t know how to play that fast how does he not have ca...

Wow thanks I just bought the standard pro 2020 version. Not sure what the benefits of upgrading are or if it’s worth it.

I got told in the Tab forum to try posting this here. I can almost* figure it out myself, but some parts are giving me trouble. sounds a6

I'm sorry but if you can't hear fuzz on "Girl" than you're deaf. Nice! Do YOU hear the quick vibrato and all the string noise? Get yourself an early Fender Deluxe or Stringmaster and a Fender Twin amp. Use the same tuning Santo did, (yes, it makes a difference!) Turn the treble up and wor...

Thanks guys that sounds about right

Thank you sir! The Gibson is a real players steel, just look at the scars which I really like. It has history! Here are some back shots. I truly don't know how you even keep track of your collection!! Here are a few more from my small herd. I'm negotiating now for a Silver Hawiian and a B6 (mint) I...

this is insane

These covers were made for a few dollars of worth of thin vinyl from a fabric store. A friend with a sewing machine is the only other thing you need. The covers keep out the dust but at the same time let you enjoy looking at the guitar Mike https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/12359_20190730...

That's exactly the track I'm talking about. Tyler Mahan Coe's podcast, "Cocaine & Rhinestones" about the lives of country musicians and those who brought us the music, is where I heard it was Buck Owens playing "pedal steel". So he got that wrong then. I still want the tab lo...

Maybe it's the amp breaking up. That's another idea. I'm just asking if anyone knows forsure what's going on.
