The Steel Guitar Forum

I've been a welder and fabricator for 40 years. The first 20 years was in the piping industry as a pipe welder, and pipe fitter. The last 20 years I've been maintaining, repairing, and rebuilding heavy equiupment. I was an independent owner operator for 15 of those years, now I work for a large copp...

Tom,

I've had a Carter S/D 10 4 & 5 for about 2 years now and am really pleased with it.

Larry

As badly as I play, and as little as I get to play any more I don't need a C6 or an E9th! But I'm gonna hang in there!

Larry

Nick,
I didn't get to play anywhere sat. night.

My regular job has had me scheduled 12 hrs. a day Thurs.-Sund. for the last 2 months. This really sucks, cuts into my playing time really bad!

Larry

Johnny Cox wrote: I know many players that would give their left arm to play one 10th of what Joan can play.

I've never had the pleasure of hearing Joan play except for one vidio clip,

But you're wrong about the one 10th Johnny, I'd settle for just a third of that!

Larry

Yep,

That's definatly Terry! He's a monster player on steel or 6 string!

Larry

Jason, I don't know anything about the Marlin steel, how ever there are lots of folks here that are very knowlegable about them and I'm sure they'll be along to answer any questions. I do like Peavey equipment very well, I've had very good luck with all the Peavey amps I've had, and am currently usi...

Bill, Glad you like.
I finally got to sit and listen to your CD again, really like the sound of the Fender, I haven't heard some of those tunes in years, great playing, I especially liked the last song with your son playing drums!
I think you got a winner there!

Larry

Mikey,
I got ya beat on those cords!

I got 2 on my volume pedal loop, 2 on my effects loop, and 1 straight to my steel, that's ,,,ummm 5 I think, and they're black!

ps. thanks for the help on the Night Life intro thing.

Larry

If that's the same Bill McRoberts I just recieved a CD from,,,,,,,,then the lessons definatly paid off!

Looks like the same Fender quad Stringmaster that's on the CD cover as well.

Larry

Dick, I've been there and done that, what a train wreck I can create! :lol: The last few years I haven't had to worry about that, there's only a few steel players in this area and I think I know them all and their steel set ups. :D One I can never catch up with to listen to him, and the other ones s...

Well, I finally got it close enough that you can actually tell what it is! Maybe it won't be such a train wreck when I play with other bands now!

The time ya'll took to help with this has been great! I really appreciate it.

Now to see if I can polish it up some!

Larry

Bill,

Just got back from the post office, your CD should go out on morning mail. Sorry I took so long.

I've gotten to listen to about half of yours so far, Hey that's some great picking, love the sound and tone your getting!

Don't laugh when you get my old home made CD!

Larry

Bill,

I got your CD in the mail today. I just now got home from work and haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

I'll get your in the mail Monday.

Larry

All right guys, it's coming together for me now thanks to all the help ya'll have given me.

It's a pain in the butt to be so harded headed and dense as I am sometimes!

Thanks every one.

Larry

Got it Bill.

Been out in the music room making CD's!

Larry

Bill,

ya got a PM coming your way.

Larry

Greg,

I finally got your link open.

And found it's tabbed in C6th like it's supposed to be.

Since I've got a single E9 I quess it's back to the woodshed!

Thanks for the try

Larry

Dick,

I've listened to about all your songs you've posted and think they are really great.

Please keep posting.

Larry

Dang Greg,
I must be having computer problems to, I can't get your link to work.

Larry

BC,

I got your tape today. Nice picking with great tone.

If I could play a C6th tuning partialy as good as that I'd be shoping for another D/10 right now!

Thanks again.
Larry

,,,

But I haven't given up guys, thanks for the help!

I'll be checkin back!

Larry

Hmmmmm,,

Well it looks like I need to add a pull rod to accomplish the split tune for this change. Looks simple enough, [well maybe]

Larry

Dave M.

Maybe this is what I'm missing here, because to me also this change is very much out of tune.

I think I'll research Patricks, and Johns diagrams a little closer. Thanks for the link.
