The Steel Guitar Forum

Ok, close it up! sold, soon as i get the doh reh mi. I'm sending a check out to b0b!!!
Thanks!

It pains me to have to sell this, ‘lonesome sound’ machine, I was into steel for a while, but I found it was hurting my hand and I’m hurting for $$$ more. If you’re looking at this you know what it is, but here’s the sell anyway: It’s a pre WW II Rickenbacher B6, (Bakelite), lap steel, the original ...

Thanks Roger, I had no idea they even existed . . . <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Joel Newman on 10 December 2005 at 08:53 AM.]</p></FONT>

hilarious!!! But why does he hate Eddie Gomez so much???

I did a search and came up with only one, "best little whorehouse". I was just curious, does anyone know of any other country oriented musicals out there? Thanks in advance . . . .

Alright Rick!! Way to go as I'm right 'cross the holler from ya count me in . . .sounds like a blast!

yes,yes,yes!!!! Bravo Bill . . .

Thanks for the recording low down. That sounds about how I'd do it too. the blank 4 bars at the top i probably would'a sweated as
the uke and guit. part are just solo there. Always hang nails with sequenced and live stuff with me . .congrats again!

Very Groovy Gerald!! I always like to hear what everyone is doing in that tuning as that's all I'm messing with right now,(maybe in a thousand years I'll move off of it, but there is so much to learn on just that tuning).And very nicely recorded,(clean and clear). A question if I might, did you use ...

ok, no cheating I haven't looked I promise . . . 1)a 2)b 3)e 4)f#,a,c#,d# 5)3rd fret,(for your minor 3rd) 6)6th 7)-7th 8)bottom of bar @4th fret,top@6th 9)F# dorian, but I'd like to think B mixolydian 10)well depending on yer melody note/s; F#-7, a/b, G diminished, #8 gave me a problem cuz I'm a c6t...

Oh my God!!! Howard you really had me there . . .I practically plotzed . . .ok, show of hands, who votes for Howard as comic genius of the forum??
Wonderful photos and info tho you all, I'm really getting the vibe of what it was like to be there . .(maybe next year?? )Keep em coming . . .

And a big thank you to Bob Myers And Joe Sapp for putting the whole shebang together. . . .I had alot of fun meeting all the local steelers and some not so local,(hopefully only my dry cleaner will know how nervous I was up there jamming with everyone). And Yeah Bob, make it a yearly gathering!!!

Thanks for the replies gents, Ok Mr. Steiner I'll give a listen to Benny again I think I can hear that too now you mention it . . .
Tanx again!

Hello all
I've been deeply immersed in listening to Joaquin Murphy lately, To my ear it sounds like Joaquin really liked the playing of Buck Clayton,(trumpet player in the Count Basie band), I really hear him emulating Buck's phrasing at least in terms of dynamics . . .Anyone else agree/disagree?

Just gorgeous Rick!! Bravo!!

you go Boyeeee!

Thank you for your replies gents! Yes Mike you were correct the legs were off I flipped em like you said. Unfortunately it still wobbles a little,(it's probably cuz it's the cheapest of cheap stands ever made), I'll experiment with the height tho.

Ok so here’s an option for a home made lap steel table, as I think I’m going to be more comfortable playing standing up and it will be easier to switch from regular guitar and back . . .cut out foam, (2 thick nesses half width for the insert), spray glued to a precut shelf covered with a crushed vel...

Hey Todd,
Can't you just split your output signal? A morley or some other a/b-a&b box is a good way, (I think even radio shack might have a mono female split to two mono females), one out to the pa and one to the roland? Seems to me you'll have the same amount of control . . .

hey wow! If I'm not working I'm definitely there . . .

Thanks Bill!
Pretty cool, I only jammed with some loops so far. Did you find that they 'hiccup' when they start over? Maybe it's just my ancient computer . . .

Yup, I quite agree Andy. Wes is my all time favorite jazz guitar player. If I could harmonically/rhythmically do what he did with reg. guitar on steel I'd be sooo happy.I think it's a ways off yet though, I guess I jump around alot,string wize, as per Geralds advise I'm gonna learn to like sticking ...

Yes yes yes Jon, I was doing it this way at 1st; <font face="monospace" size="3"><pre> E--------------4---------5--- C--------------4---------5------ A--------------3---------5--------- G----------------------------- E------------------------ C-------------------------------- </p...

Thanks Gents!! Yes Rick, that's how I had it at 1st but then I thought, in my convoluted way, seeing as I'm already in the slant at that fret, to just kinda slide the bar shape over could be doable but you're probably right not at a tempo that's going at a great clip. And another question for Gerald...

alright so it's been a while since I bugged everyone . . . I guess this is an exercise in forward slants for me. In an effort to try to play more 'chord melody' style,(meaning more than a 2 note chord), I came up with this goofy arrangement of the (a) section of "take the A train". My main...
