Too many instruments not enough time or space. This is a great banjo by Deering which retails at about $2500. This is a 1981 model. Some modest buckle scratches but other wise in good shape as shown on pics. I purchased 3 years ago and rarely got it out of the case. I'm out $900, but will sell to a ...

Some songs have a chord change from G to E (Gimme Three Steps). The third fret AF move, I think in that song and others has a nice sound. From my first months playing, I had enough of an ear to see (hear) that AF sounded right with the bar slightly sharp. I also think it is a useful alternative soun...

Here is from the site: www.pedalsteel.com DVD#7 w/PDF Direct Download! (Pdf, 560 Kb) DVD#7 With Video #14, #15 & #16 Three separate videos are on this one DVD. Video #14 E9th Advanced which shows you how to use the Franklin Pedal and other modern pedals and knees. Video #15 Dominant Sevenths is ...

Wow! Sounds like you have really progressed fast. and I agree the switch ab down to bc down smoothly is hard at full speed. For soloing you might get Paul Franklin's speed picking cd's; for us newbies they are tough, but then its all tough at this stage. They are available on his website and though ...

Are we all hidden away? We ought to have a Seattle get together sometime. Had a teacher for about a year-- great player Martin Lefeld (sp?) But he moved to Nashville and I am looking again too. I had the same experience, started with the band within a few months, but I gotta say, even when the guys ...

I printed out the thread on all the tunings. Now I am thinking that lap steel may be a versitile change from the PSG for my band which plays rock and southern rock. Mostly in A, D, and G. The lap steel I ordered happens to be in E, but I can change that. Should I?
Right now I play E9 on the PSG.

I am having trouble finding a tab for a lap steel, guitar or Pedal Steel for this classic. The original is on a lap steel, but working out the individual notes will be a chore--any help out there?

A great series is Jeff Newman's UP from the Top. This dvd with books in three parts AB pedals; D lever; and F lever is a great way to get familiar with what it takes to work with the band. and get workin them pedals and levers.

Working with a mentor or instructor is a huge plus. Have a blast.

I'm shakin' out the string packs right now. 40 years of acoustic guitar, I knew better. Shame on me! My only excuse is that I play autoharp and well, changing and tuning that critter is a good day's work. Time that I tend to my knitting. Thanks guys!

Playing 2 + years on the Carter S-10 replacing strings that broke. Though a newbie actually playing gigs. 4th string now ringing really harsh--worst on the Roland mini with earphones still noticeable on the NV 112 no phones. Pretty good indication that string needs to go. But this let to the "D...

Search the tablature section for the song you would like and about 50% of the time you will get some solos intros and outros. I started early as well and my initial solos were to: It Stoned Me (I made up--pretty much all AB pedals) Willin (ditto); Amie (quite a bit of A with F lever--from my instruc...

pressure makes diamonds, playing in public is a huge motivator for practice and improvement. If your band or your audience doesn't think you are up to it--they will let you know. I can't agree that there is anything wrong with pushing yourself as long as you don't fool yourself about your ability. I...

I'll go with Doug. The Starter will work to see if you want to go further ie spend and spend. (Ask folks who got hooked how many PSGs and Amps they have.) Really a good idea to make sure you like playing with pedals and knee bars and like the sound--all the while you can be checking out your upgrade...

Given the thread, I hesitate to say this but I have found the Mel Bay E9 chord chart valuable and worth the wait and the money.

A word to the wise. If you use pay pal you take a risk if you do it on the road. They flagged my instruction as requiring investigation because it was not sent through my regular internet service provider. When I contacted them on line (still on the road) they asked for my bank account number for ve...

Deal I sent an email

Just when I was in the hunt. I will take it and I sent you an email.

Competing tonight in Fortune Magazine and Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Battle of the Bands tonight (No pros allowed and I certainly fit that requirement) too bad I didn't get one of these 6 months ago. Wish me luck.

You can call Mondo's pub in Lynnwood (425) 775-6110 I understand Forrest Lee Jr has a band playing there on January 15th-=-but it is not on their calendar so I would call to confirm before making the trek. The steel player in that band, Martin, is awesome even though he professes that keyboard is hi...

Question. where do connect it? in line or at the post amp ?

Recent Trip Experience: Seattle--NOT allowed to follow case to inspection (arrived NYC OK); Newark followed case to Xray (right on the same floor as ticketing in some airports)and offered to help open and repack if they needed to open it. Guy looked at the screen long and hard--then said it wasn't n...

I am thinking it might be wise to put two straps around the body running between the strings and the base on the downside so they can use the straps (not the rods and levers) to pull the unit up and look underneath. Its pretty clear that a little preventive thinking and a nice (short) handling note ...
