The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi Carl, Since you were able to try the copedent, it appears you have a good mechanical understanding of what needed to be done. That makes it easier. You might get around to adding knee levers, if you so desire. People have modified Mavericks before, but being able to do so yourself saves time and...

Carl, that may have been me. I remember someone posting on the forum wanting an mp3 of the book. I had already did the conversion for my own use. But I answered the forum post saying I had mp3's of the book. Let me dig it up on my external hard drive, and I'll get back to you. From past dealings wi...

Howdy all!
I'm wondering if anyone has the Mp3's for the Pedal Steel Guitar book by Winnie Winston and Bill Keith? I saw an old post about it and tried to chase down a lead there but no luck.

Thanks!
Carl

Hi Carl, You're welcome. The reason for the suggested copedent is that the A-B-C pedal arrangement shown is standard. The only differance between that and a PSG with more knee levers is that the actions on your KL would have been on separate levers. I can understand apprehension over any change to ...

Hi Carl, How's it going in this pedal steel "rabbit hole"? Really something new and exciting to get into! Your comment about "loosing an alternate major voice" would not happen if you hooked up both B's to C#. That way, all you'd have to do is press A & B for your major chor...

Hi again, Carl, Your C pedal appears to be just missing a hookup. It does what it is supposed to do on string 5, but the action on string 4 is missing. I am not that familiar with pull-release changers, as far as the tutorial goes. But the simple thing to do is to compare WHAT each change does, and...

Hi Carl, Are there no hookups with pedal "C"? Nomally it would change string 4 from E -> F# abd string 5 from B -> C#. It also appears that your A and B pedals are reversed (assuming you are labeling them left to right A, B, C.) By your saying "it didn't come set up that way" su...

Hey Eric! Here's my first copedent chart to answer your question. --------PA----PB----KL 1 F# 2 D# -------------> D 3 G# 4 E 5 B --------> C# 6 G# -> A 7 E 8 B --------------> A 9 E 10X The only reason my #3 doesn't go up to A is that it didn't come set up that way and I haven't braved trying to cha...

Howdy all, I'm a new player and wanted to share this tuning I've been playing my 3x1 Maverick in. Here it is, 1 F# 2 D# -> D 3 G# 4 E 5 B -> C# 6 G# -> A 7 E 8 B --> A 9 E 10X It was originally a 9 string tuning because, when I was gifted my Maverick, it was missing the tuning peg for the 10th strin...

Howdy all, long time reader, first time poster!

Asking here again about getting the mp3's for the Pedal Steel Guitar book. I tried the link mentioned earlier in the thread but it's no longer active.

Thanks in advance!
Carl
