Hi Shenna again: Here is the TAB sheet for Harbour Lights. You can see more complex that Fairwell Hawaii.



Good luck with your learning.

Hello Sheena: I learned and taught the most-likely easy method, A Major tuning. It's not as sophisticated. I've attached a sheet entitled Farewell Hawaii. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/3302_img862_1.jpg The pros will laugh I know, but go to Youtube and select George Rout and "Harb...

Wow, what a definitive conversation over the guitar we now know is a J-6. Thanks to Jon King and Greg Antoniw. Thanks to all who participated in the mystery.

RICKENBACKER MODEL No. Hello folks, this was my first electric steel guitar. I bought it from the kid next door in 1950's. We've discussed on the Forum some years ago as to what model it is. I've lost tha data. It came from a department store in Halifax. It came with a typical 5 watt amp and matchin...

The EGE-6784 is now for sale for $1500 in St Catharines!!!

The other day while browsing here somewhere, I came across tuning sheets for 6, 7, 8 and 10 string guitars. I can't find it. Does anybody recognize it!!! Thanks
Geo

Thanks everybody. I've been away from the computer for a few days, and I appreciate all the data you folks supplied.
Geo

Does anybody have a guesstimate sale price for this guitar please?
Geo

Thanks folks. My buddy will be pleased with that data.
Geo

Sorry, these are B6's.

Hi Folks: I have a friend in Nova Scotia who is contemplating selling his two Rickies as he's downsizing. The earlier one has only the volume control (made that way), the other one has both volume and tone controls. I understand that both are in very good condition. What would be an approx asking pr...

Jackie baby, this section is "without wheels"!!!!
Georgie baby

It was recently bought in a an antique shoppe. It was tuned to a Hawaiian tuning! Note the tailpiece. Just a long guess.

I think I'm "losing it"!!!! I have a few thousand BIAB tracks I've copied back several years ago. I call them my "house band". I use them just for my own pleasure as backing tracks playing here at home. I didn't even modify them, usually just deleted the lead track so I could pla...

Thank you also John, I'll pass that data along to my buddy.

Hello Glen and Jeff and thank you both kindly for the response. And yes, I meant B6 (I have one myself).

A non-computer friend in Nova Scotia has the above Ricky B1's. According to him, his 1935 Ricky has a greater treble sound, whereas the 1938 model has a noticeably more base sound. Can any folks comment on this please? Thank you.

I'm still alive and picking folks. A touch of dementia is creeping in. I'm 85. Three of us were back in the saddle playing at LTC homes for about a month when they packed it in because of the Covid. That was just before Xmas. We were scheduled to play for a Xmas show when they shut if down again. ht...

Hi Jim, is there some way I can get to the free tabs please. I play the open string tuning.
Geo

Hello guys. First thanks to Dave for posting it on the Forum for me. I'm really impressed with your responses. I wasn't thinking of a Tut Taylor at all, even though I have all his recordings. And Mike, there was something in the music that made me play it over several times. Yet, I wasn't thinking o...

Hi folks: Re the attached pic of the Eddie Noack album, when I first got it, it sounded like a Dobro. As I listened to it more, I'm not so sure is is. I'm wondering if it's a Dobro effects pedal. Does anybody have the disk showing any info on it. If it is a real Dobro player, is the person named ple...

Hi folks, just by chance does anybody have a backing track for Dale Watson's Blue Eyes, please. The tune is on Youtube. Thanks.
Geo

Hi Lloyd and Ron. Thanks for your interest and ideas. Lloyd, your thought of scanning them is a great idea, but I wouldn't live long enough to accomplish that. Each one has one or two pages inside. And as you mentioned, I have no idea where we stand with the copyrights. And thank you Ron for your su...

Hi folks. I'm clearing out a lot of paper material, all Oahu notation, no number/diagram as we used to call it. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/3302_MODERN_NOTE_METHOD_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/3302_Oahu_Stack_of_TAB_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/use...

Hi folks. I know it's the wrong time of the year to be looking for the backing track "When It's Spring Time In The Rockies", maybe someone has it. I checked all through the Youtube backing tracks without luck. Thanks.
