The Steel Guitar Forum

I think I read or heard somewhere, Moon used five pedals on his tuning so he used the back neck.

Bob

And John did play on his next CD, "Pocket Full Of Gold".

Bob

I just assumed it was John Hughey playing steel. I had seen him on TNN playing steel when Vince and Patty sang it, so when I played it on my CD why shouldn’t I think it was John. It sounded just like him. Before I continue, let me make it real clear that I am not taking anything away from John Hughe...

Yes Jody, i,d say you keep your words soft and sweet enough.

Always like to read your posts.

Bob

They put there pants on one leg at a time just like we do. And when they get inside em, they are just people like you and I. I've never had the pleasure of meeting either of them, but i've met Jones, Hag, Cash, Price and a bunch more and they were all just like neighbors and I expect they would be t...

I think everyone needs to re-read Mike Perlowin's statement about saying something bad...and saying something BAD. Have you noticed Mike doesn't post very often, but when he does he has something to say. Spells alright to. My Daddy always said, keep your words soft and sweet because you never know w...

Wendell, the very guitar you have is the same style guitar Lloyd Green played on many hit songs back in the late 50,s and 60's. I forgot what the D stands for but the LG stands for Lloyd Green. There is a story about how the single neck on a double frame came about. If you want to hear it, e mail me...

I think you're expecting to much of yourself. You must play better than the average bear or you would't still be playing. Just a few people were born with the God given talent and determination to play like Buddy and other greats. And I do know what you're talking about when you say you don't unders...

A Pawn Shop might already have a Blue Book that includes steel guitars.

It's been a few years since i've looked for bargains, but you don't get any steals (pun intended) there anymore. They seem to have a real good idea of what stuff is worth.

The Carter Starter would be more user friendly. Much more easy to keep set up.

But for someone who had a lot of background with a Sho Bud...then that would be the way to go for sure.

Bob

I don't recall Charlie using much steel on any of his songs. I'd ask him, how much and how country do you want me to play.

Can't beat being up front and honest.

Bob

Up, up and away!

Bob

I also love and enjoy the Forum...If I could just start spending a little less time on it.

I think the little things i've learned on the Forum all add up to be more inportant than the big things.

Thank you b0b for being the layed back calm person that it takes to keep it going.

Bob

I have a SD-10 and I like that pad to rest my arms on.

But I now wish I had bought a D-10 because i'm ready to try to learn the C6th neck.

Bob

Leroy, you're just a kid...March 3rd i'll be 72.

If you don't have nothing tying you down, you've still got time.

Bob

Kenny Dail...you just explainded why I got off the week end Band Stand at a very early age.

Bob

I have about thrity five songs registered with the Copyright Office. After years of trying to get one recorded, i've come to the conclusion you have to go to Nashville and get a break or get hooked up with an established song writer. I don't need my songs recorded that bad. But if you're a young buc...

When Jimmy don't want it no more can I have it?

Bob

Wish I had a nickel for every time my Momma would make me sing that song when company would come. There were others, "When the Works All Done This Fall", Little Joe The Wrangler", "That Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me" etc,etc. But then i'll bet i'm not the only one that ...

In Arthur Smiths lawsuit over "Dueling Bango's" it was people testifying they had heard him playing that song years before that movie came out that won the case for him. But it is best to put Copyrighted and the year for the USA and "All Rights Reserved" for the rest of the world...

Get Buddy's Expo E9th and learn to play "This Cold War With You".

Expect it to take at least six months but when you're done you will have learned a lot about the pedal steel and the knee levers.

Bob

As long as this earth has been around there hasn't been any peace on it...but we gotta keep trying, so i'll 2nd that.

Bob

Tony, I don't think you went to the Copyright web site Bill Llewellyn posted. If you will go there, click on FAQ, then Copyright In General and read sections Four, Five and Six you will see that you and I are both right. And Mr. Olson (forgot your first name) you are also right in that registering w...

It was Bill Llewellyn's web site that will show you what Alvin and myself are saying about when a song is copyrighted. Click on FAQ. Click on copyright in general and go down to number four and five. Erik, i'm sorry if I stepped on your toes. I didn't feel your's was detailed enough. Bob<FONT SIZE=1...

Tony, I said what you folks are doing is registering your song with the Copyright Office which gives you the "date" it was created and "proof" that you own it. Isn't that what you just said? As for when a song is copyrighted...it stated the same thing on the web site Erik posted ...
