In reality, there isn't a specific course of a specific tuning when it comes to steel guitar. Especially non pedal. Handling the bar, intonation, licks, scales, chords are common lingua for any steel guitar tuning. So specific lessons for specific Lap Steel tunings is kind of irrelevant. C6 licks wo...

Well, Sacred Steel was certainly a departure from traditional hawaiian steel. And also seems to be thriving based on the recent florida Sacred Steel convection.

Absolute minimum would be 2 pedals and 2 levers. AB pedals are essential. Levers to lower and raise the E’s is essential. Everything else is really nice to have. But a 3x4 would serve you for many years.

I've owned a few D8 Remington's. One was a dude, one was really nice. But in general they are usually very nice steels.

When I really loaded it up, i found some slippage. Tom suggests a thin piece of duck tape along the back of the clamp or under the clamp around the legs. Others have suggested zip ties if you really like to load it up with Ipads and books.

Really, really love this thing.

Love my new Tab Rack

Just got this today, a Tab Rack from Tom Bradshaw. I love this thing. Installed in 15 seconds, MUCH better and closer than my music stands could ever be. I loaded it up no slippage. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/4652_IMG_1349_2_1.jpg https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/4652_IMG...

Having been privileged to hear Mr. Steiner perform on his Maverick at the last Dallas show, I can bear witness that it sounds sweet and a great option.
