The Steel Guitar Forum

Great Bob, I'm just glad it was everything I told you the guitar was when I sold it to you. I was a good guitar to me and I really enjoyed the sound of it when I played it. But, even though I really didn't want to sell it, I had to. I'm glad you like it.

Hey Bob, how do you like that Super Pro on the band stand as far as tone.

Hey Grant, I have a shobud super pro brown hardrock maple with laquer finish, aluminum necks for sale in ebay...might be what your looking for if you want to refurbish one. I was going to redo it dark blue fading to light blue form the ends to the middle if you can picture what i mean by that but i ...

I have Mullen D-10 and love the action on it. As far as tone goes, I don't think it sounds much different than an Emmons p/p that I used to play. Not good for resting your feet on the pedals while you play though. Has a tendency to sound out of tune....lol

When I play on the C6 neck and play the lower strings the speaker sound like it's going to blow out of the cabinet. The sound is not clean. It's a JBL k 130 4 speaker. The speaker is not cracked or anything. When I increase the sensitivity it dimishes somewhat. It's an older amp and hasen't been use...

Herb, Tony Zitnick was a good friend of mine when I was living in San Diego back in the 70's and 80's. I lost track of him since I've moved to Ohio. Also another very good C6th player out there named Ray Ferguson. Super player on the C6th neck. Sure would like to know where these guys are now. Tony ...

Playing at VFW on Grace St. in Mansfield, Oh
from 8-12

I have the Herby Wallace C6 course that has the tune Misty on it. It's a great course, unfortunatly I lost the cassette that goes with it. It is a very good course. Luckily I already knew how the melody of most of the songs go so using the tab wasn't that hard. The first song in it that I chose to l...

The intro and solo are tabbed for guitar at www.roughstock.com

I think I fell in love with the sound of the steel guitar back in the 60's listening to Hank Williams songs then when I heard a Lloyd Green album not sure of the name. But, what made me decide to buy one and learn to play it was hearing a steel player named RAY MANGRUM playing an instrumental "...

By the way my last posted reply was for a reply to Marty Pollard's post

Mybe I misunderstood what you were trying to say here. I was only able to listen to it on the net but was totally in awe of the great steel playing that I heard. Anyway, to get to the point. Why would you want everyone to play like Lloyd Green. If everyone played like him, then you would only need o...

I played with a guitar player in San Diego, Ca. years ago named Merv Cook, and if you closed your eyes and listened to him play you'd swear you were listening to Chet Atkins. His style, finesse, and sound were superb. He was the only person I ever new that could play that good besides Chet himself. ...

Put a cowboy hat on Michael Bolton and he could have even been in the top 10 on CMT...Thats what most of todays "so called country music" sounds like to me. Just a bunch of Michael Boltons with a cowboy hat.
Just my 2 cents.

Bobby, no confusion here. I played around with the way you do it a little more and it started to sound better to me too. That was the way I worked it out the first time I was trying to figure it out and at that time it just didn't sound right to my ears but the more I play it the better it sounds to...

I started playing steel guitar while i was in the Navy back in the 70's, learned how to play from Ray Mangrum who I believe played for Little Jimmie Dickens for awhile. Then I was a truck driver (LTL) and now work for the railroad. Tough to do but still get to play.

Bobby you are right you can do it that way. I've tried starting it out that way. and even tried starting it on the 12th fret on the tenth string along with the things you suggested. It all seems to work, I guess its just a difference in ears and what one person hears and what another person hears. L...

FINALLY! I finished the tab. Since Ricky is the computer whiz here, I e-mailed it to him to put in here. I know it is very close, there may be some little subtleties that you may want to add, but this is very close. I'm not perfect, close but not quite.LOL Anyway I hope I did a good enough job with ...

Who would have ever thought it would take a dozen posts to get a piece of tab on here. LOL. I'm putting it on notepad right now and I'll send it to you. Hopefully it will have been worth the wait for everyone. Sorry.
Mike

Ricky I have it tabbed out on paper...Would like to put it on here since there are so many that would like to have it. Just not too smart when it comes to computers.

Ricky I don't have it tabbed on the computer, I tried to follow the instructions but there must be something I'm not understanding because I just couldn't get it to work for. Then I had a couple people telling me about copyright infringements and got a little leary of it. Maybe you could enlighten m...

With some help from my brother, we finally got this song tabbed out. I'm not sure how to put tab on here so, not sure how to get it to you. Not very smart when it comes to computers.

That turn around really is a good one. I have it figured out but not sure if i could tab it out. The way I have it figured and as with anything else could have it wrong. I'll try to explain what I do. On the 12th fret start at the 10th string no ped and press a ped then 9th string then 8th string th...

I agree with just about everyone in here there are alot of good guitars out there in your price range. Check the buy and sell part of the forum, E-bay many times has some good steel deals.
