The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey there, I saw this post a few days ago. It’s my new favorite song, it’s made me want to go back and improve some basic technical stuff. I’m currently in ‘vibrato school’ Thanks, fellas! Hey Steven, Thanks a lot for the kind words, that’s really nice that it’s inspired you! That means a whole lot...

Thank you very much!

Jesse, what a wonderful and inspiring track, performance and video! Inspires me to drag my Academy lap out of the closet and dig back into the soulful simplicity of a lap steel. Well done, mate!! Your a talented beast, handling the songwriting, playing, video, art, you do it all.--- Professor Twang...

Thank you very much for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the kind words!

Jesse, That is so excellent. I can't remember where I discovered that video, but have viewed it a number of times. As a new lap steel player, that song inspired me to what is possible on lap steel. What tuning did you use? I looked up your info and I think you are based out of or play around the Lo...

Peter Jacobs wrote:Oh, and I have a Supro Jet Airliner, too - love how it plays and sounds!

That’s great yeah I love mine, that guitar has worked for me for all different kinds of music and it always just seems to sound great! I have a couple other Valco steels but that’s the one I pick up all the time.

Thank you very much for the kind words! We really enjoyed putting it together!

Hi there, I wanted to post this song here so that folks in the group could hear it. I had initially posted it a long while ago but I removed it because as soon as I did, I learned that the great David Lindley had just passed away. What an incredibly sad loss to the world. I recorded this song of min...

Hey Jerry, thank you very much for the very kind words! Hope you're doing well!

Hi there, I wanted to share this short instrumental I wrote on my Regal "Hawaii-O-Fone" Weiss copy. I absolutely love this guitar, I've been so impressed with the sound of it. I'm not entirely sure if it's from the '20's or '30's. I have a Sunrise pickup in it which I truly love, played he...

Jesse and Bruce, that is a really good catchy tune! I like Ron Funk's suggestion of Robert Plant laying down a vocal too.......and I just bet he would do it. Thanks guys, please let us have (or sell us!!) some more when you are ready/ Hey Doug, thank you very much! That could be cool to have Robert...

Welcome to the Forum, Jesse - however unworthy I may be to say such a thing. I wonder how many other members here have said, “I just finished a duet with Bruce Bouton” in their first post. I’m guessing the number is zero or fewer. Thank you so much! Haha yes, Bruce is a great guy, we met in N...

Hey Jerry, thank you so much for the kind words! Jerry Fletcher is an amazing steel and guitar player. I bought the Supro Airliner steel I used in this video from him!

Hi every body, Jesse Nestor here, I'm the other steel player in the video with Bruce. I'm brand new to the forum here, just joined, and I wanted to say thank you so much for having me here! It's a real pleasure to get to know and talk with so many great steel players! Thank you so much for the kind ...

That was really nice, graceful and tasteful! Tell us about your capos and guitars, please. Bob Hi Bob, thank you so much for the kind words! I used my Supro Airliner steel (dated sometime '64-'68 according to the serial number). It has the original string-through pickup, and the three legs in the c...

Nice tune and playing. The song's chords remind me a bit of the song "Temple of the King" by the rock band Rainbow (Which has a slide guitar solo by Ritchie Blackmore, I think.) Tell us about your capos and guitars, please. The other player's lap steel capo looks like "Charlie's Slid...
