The Steel Guitar Forum

Hello fellow steelers! I just finished the last of the introductory videos for The Chord and Scale Finder. A bit of a pain but now I can move on to internationalization and, hopefully in the not too distant future, start launching video lessons based on the app. Enjoy! :) https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Hello fellow pickers! I usually announce new features for The Chord and Scale Finder in the "New Products" section but this isn't really a new product, merely the first step in an overhaul of our online promo materials and, hopefully, a prelude to some lap steel instructional videos that w...

More breaking news from the skunkworks team at Tepco International, home of The Chord and Scale Finder!! SGF member Scott Denniston found a rather nasty bug (since fixed) and explained the need for 12 and 14 string tunings on the app. We decided that 12 or 14 strings would be too cramped on a phone ...

Hello all and happy holidays! I've gotten some useful feedback on this forum for my world beating little app especially designed to facilitate learning to navigate odd tunings and would like to share our first "real" promotional video. This will hopefully be a precursor to a full suite of ...

Hello all! This forum was the first place where I presented my world-beating app (100+ downloads!!) to the world and we have now made our first "real" promotional video which will hopefully be a precursor to a suite of instructional videos for lap steel and regular guitar. Check it out and...

Hello all and Happy Holidays!! I've posted on this forum a few times regarding my app, The Chord and Scale Finder, and have gotten some useful feedback here concerning new features. The features keep getting added and we now have Shell Voicings for all tunings, a Chromatic mode that lets users easil...

Hello Kristen! You've given me some food for thought. I put in the Roman numerals because I wanted to conform with standard music theory but regular numbers have the advantage of being smaller which can be helpful, especially on phones (the app works best on tablets I've found). I'm toying with the ...

Hello All! I've posted to this site before describing my Steel Guitar Chord and Scale Finder and am happy to report that the little product that could is developing some (modest) legs in the marketplace. The free and paid versions (95% of users opt for the free one with ads) have been up and running...

Hello all! I posted my new product announcement here last week and at the current moment I'm up and running on Google Play and Amazon and have, fingers crossed, jumped through the first of what will no doubt be several hoops for the Apple Store. I have also, to my amazement, already made $2.36 in re...

Hello Mike. I just received an 8 string Morrell in the mail today and plan on digging into some of your licks as soon as I get it set up. I created an app specifically for creating fretboard roadmaps on my 6 and 8 string lap steels. If you check out some of my webcams you might find it useful. Any s...

It was developed in a cross platform technology called Xamarin. I develop on a desktop and that's easiest to use for me but I have it on my tablet and phone as well. Desktop = optimal, tablet = good and phone = functional. If you have questions let me know.

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum but am a longtime barroom musician (I think I may have had the hardest working band in NYC until March 2020) and software developer. I started playing 6 string lap steel 4-5 years ago and just purchased an 8 string model from Morrell Guitars. For much of the la...
