Thanks Erv...

Ricky Davis wrote:Ted; there is NO steel guitar in Chris Stapleton version and he changed the original melody of the song; to some blues sounding melody; that is NOT the song.
So it's not possible to tab that horrible version of a great classic song.
Ricky

Your right...
I'm sticking with old George in F....

I have "Tennessee Whiskey" but it's in F.
Erv

Ha.... I know Erv.... i bought it from you a couple of months ago....
That's the George Jones version and i would like the Chris Stapleton version...
I didn't realise there was different versions in different keys.

Ted

Would anyone have E9 tabs Tennessee Whiskey in A?

Ha...that's great thanks...
But i'm just a beginner...

Ted

Would anyone have the E9 tabs for That's How I Got To Memphis ?
If anyone is interested, i have the sheet music...

Ted

Would anyone know where I could get E9 tabs for Farmers Daughter...
Could also use them for 6 string open G reso too...

Thanks in advance...

I'm in the process of tabbing that song out.
Erv

Ha....what a surprise Erv.... lol
I have a large list to send you too so I will add it to the list.

Thanks Erv....

Ted

I am looking for the E9 tabs for the song "It's Only Make Believe".
Anyone know if they exist?

Thanks....

Thanks Norman...excellent overview.

Ted

That row of allen screws on the back of the changer are adjustable stops for the low note using the split tuning. Split Tuning makes this guitar a completely different guitar than a standard. Put split tuning in Google. There is a site I believe Mickey Adams instructs on the split tuning. I have a ...

Excellent....thanks Bill

Ted, those allen screws are used to fine-tune the strings that are simultaneously raised and lowered (the "splits"). Lots and lots of guitars don't have those screws. You may want to start by backing them out so they have no effect on the tuning. Then just use the tuning nuts below to tun...

Bill Moore wrote:Ted, just google "how to tune a pedal steel guitar" you will get lots of links that will explain it.

Hi Bill....

I did that but nothing comes up with all the setscrews and hex nuts I have...

Ted

I am buffaloed trying to find out how to tune all the pedals and knee levers. Can anyone tell me how to do this and explain the allan screws and the hex nuts on the end of the guitar? I have the tool for the hex nuts and an allan wrench for the top ones but no idea what to do properly. https://bb.st...

Your right Karl. I give a lot of merit to the fact that steel players helped Peavey design these amps specifically for PSG.
I just bought a year old Peavey Session 115. Should be here on Tuesday...

Thanks Karl...
I did get much closer with the recommendations from the forum. But still not quite there yet.
Your right, the knob fiddling can be annoying when you can't quite get what you want but wont quit trying....lol

Your right Mike...it's just about what you like. If you don't like the sound, change it or tweak it until you do like it. If it requires changing gear then why not. But don't let it obsess you to the point of quitting. No reason to be unhappy with what your doing.

Well with using all the advice here I did a reset to default again, and yes like you said, the controls don't show the actual settings. Still sounded like too much gain, even with it turned right off. So I started right over and unplugged everything. Ran the PSG directly to the amp not even volume p...

I reset back to default and set to Twin 65 but I still seem to get distortion... I have the gain right off...
Any ideas?

Ted, I can tell you that most all the presents have too much gain and often overkill effects. Once you dial down the gain and get rid of unwanted effects you can dial in some excellent tones. My Mustang is different so I can't give you a step by step, but it works much the same. You would probably ...

Thanks Donny and Larry... Yes I'm a monkey see monkey do guy.... I am a 70 year old beginner I played guitar years ago but crippling RA I can't any more so after not playing anything for about 30 years I decided to give it a whirl....:) I will dig out the manual and give a shot at getting my Fender ...

Thanks Larry and Ken...
That’s the answer I was looking for...
All the PSG conventions I see all use the Peavey so now I see why...
