The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks for the tips! Will definitely check out Fanny's. From their website, they seem to have quite a few lap steels. I'll also keep that info about Carter's in mind when I'm there.

I’m going to be in Nashville for a few days in May and was thinking of doing some lap steel shopping. I plan to stop by Gruhn’s, Carter’s and Rumble Seat, but in perusing their websites, none of them seem to have much by way of lap steels in stock. Is there any place in Nashville that carries a good...

Funny... I just started trying to learn this one over the weekend! I got the first two bars, then get completely lost. Not sure what position I'm even supposed to be in.

Will do. Thanks!

I'm very new at this, but had been trying to learn pedal steel for years using different methods. Inevitably, I ended up getting frustrated and then letting it sit for months and eventually trying some other method, with the cycle starting over again. I recently started Paul's "Foundations"...

I'm planning on picking one up and have a nice Avatar 2x12" cab collecting dust that I'd like to use with it. Tim, I know you like the Jupiter speakers in a 2x12". I'm assuming a pair of 50 watt Jupiters would work well with The Amp 100? Any preference between AlNiCo and ceramic?
