The Steel Guitar Forum

I met Steinar here on the Forum. I was dealing with my own health issues around 2009 or 2010 when we sort of just lost touch. I was looking for his email address today when I found this thread. Prior to 2010 we maintained frequent emails, jokes, and just plain good conversation. He helped me so much...

Howdy Troy - just sent you an email. Welcome! I haven't been active on this forum for a long time but I've enjoyed your lessons. I'll probably be hanging around here more as a result of your inspiration. ~Don

Mr. Anderson - Thanks and check yer email.

Hi Joy - Welcome to the Forum. Your comment is not "corny" at all - we all feel the steel guitar in our bones. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif Cindy's material is nothing short of wonderful. I would also recommend the book "Basic C6th Nonpedal Lap Steel Method" by DeWitt Sc...

I've been chewing on this one for a couple of days. With orchestral or chamber music you get fired if you can't play it note for note at each performance. The 'expression' is even controlled by the composer on the score. As was said above, a strict cover band must have the ability to sound like a hu...

Yep, a REAL honky tonk angel! Amazon's got samples http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000009NS7/qid=1111972922/sr =2-2/ref=pd_ka_b_2_2/102-9845449-4380941 Heather's got a website and a new CD too - http://www.heathermyles.com/base.html Don ------------------ http://www.spacestar.net/users/gfxwi...

Roger - Are you THE Roger Miller. Did ya really try to rollerskate in a buffalo herd? http://steelguitarforum.com/biggrin.gif Yeah, I REALLY do miss the west. Thanks for all of the comments. Do write down those serial numbers. I've actually had three guitars stolen. Also a tuner that was stolen by a...

Ha Ha, I haven't even heard the tune yet & I'm sure I like it http://steelguitarforum.com/biggrin.gif Jerry - Gotta agree with you there. You got a couple of years on me but JUST a couple. I think there are two things that attract me to B&R. First, you can actually hear the fun they are havi...

Gerald - Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy hearing your hands. I sure have to agree with you regarding lyrics. As an amateur songwriter/lyricist, it's my pet peeve. I have many songs that would be finsihed save for that one line that either is not written or doesn't sound musical. In music school t...

Jerry - Yes, the police told him that it only happens about 5% of the time. He's a great kid and, though I don't always agree with his choice of music, I am very proud of his love for music and playing.

Surgery on Dec. 23 - had my whole cervical spine reconstructed - a vertebrae replaced, all re-aligned and reinforced with titanium plates and screws, and fused from C4 down to T1. Sooo, I been pretty much flat on my back since around the first of November. Much better now. Thanks for asking! Don ---...

Jim, man your wife has a great set of pipes! My experience on the road was in the 70's-80's mostly in disco type dance clubs. Most of the club owners required us to socialize with the guests - that meant the women. The rational was that if the women were there then the men would certainly show up an...

I bought my son his first bass guitar when he was in Junior High. He is now 25 years old and has worked himself into a position as a well known, and even sought after, bass player in the Minneapolis area. He saved and sacrificed in order to build his equipment. He owns a beautiful Fender P-Bass with...

VERY NICE Rick - quite a guitar. I too would love to hear it. Congratulations!

Just wanted to tell everyone that I rec'd the tab today for "Lappin' It Up" and "Man in Green". The tab is beautiful and the arrangements are very challenging. This style/technique is enough to keep me very busy for quite sometime. Congrats to Roy for a job very well done. Don --...

Roy, I'd love to have a copy of your mp3, especially after reading all of the above noted praise. Anxiously awaiting it's arrival at snowrider@comcast.net Thanks in advance...

Steinar - That was awesome! I love most of Brian Wilson's stuff and you've done it justice. Let me know when the CD is ready http://steelguitarforum.com/biggrin.gif Don PS - I know I owe you an email but as of Thursday I'll be in the hospital for a week or so taking care of the neck thing (my neck n...

When playing lap I use a digital delay for volume swells. I have three settings - long, med, and short swells - controlled with a midi pedal - makes it cry really cool when needed.

I used to have a George Benson and I really liked it over the Gibsons. And, I REALLY liked the price. I'd probably still have it but I traded it in on a solid body Ibanez Artist. Wish I still had that one too. I also used to have a Black Lab named Ibanez! http://steelguitarforum.com/biggrin.gif Don ...
