The Steel Guitar Forum

Along with Cindy Cashdollar, Buddy Emmons has played on Prairie Home Companion a number of times, as has Greg Leisz (who's played pedals and Dobro on different shows.) It seems like Garrison Keillor must know something about steel players.

Historically, all guitar music is transposed up one octave. That way, it lies more in the center of the treble clef and is easier to read.

I tend to think of the diminished 7th chord as a rootless altered dominant. For instance, B diminished (B,D,F,Ab) can be used to replace G7. Over the root note G, those notes give you the third, fifth, lowered seventh, and flat nine. Hope that helps at all.

"music is music and all instruments are the same."

That's an abridged quote from Gib Wharton's website that I think deserves consideration.

Bump- One more try.

Hey everyone,
I'll be visiting the city those days. Anybody gigging then?

If you can, try out the Tech 21 Trademark 60. I own one as a back-up. It's a combo that responds more like a tube amp than some tube amps I've owned. Tech 21 is the company that builds the Sansamp analog tube-simulation units, and they do a good job of building that into a light, S-12. <font size=&q...

I own one Sierra U12, but as soon as the funds are in place, I intend to purchase a second one. Incidentally, Tom Baker has been great about supplying me with any replacement parts I've needed. Just email him through the Sierra website.

Dave E. was here with her in Madison last week. Wow.
