The Steel Guitar Forum

I install my tracks on itunes to practice with. The "recently added" list is a mile long and I'v found no way to delete that list once its no longer needed, am I missing something,??? Are you talking about the Playlist (rather, "smart playlist") that is in the Sidebar by default...

Anecdotally, I have several friends/colleagues who use Sophos and are fans. I can't speak first-hand... haven't had any A/V on my Macs since... wow... 2002 maybe?

well, if I were writing out changes using numbers I would do a few things 1. Use Roman Numerals for the scale interval of the root 2. Make those Roman Numerals upper/lower case for major/minor 3. Apply flats/sharps before the numeral (so it doesn't confuse the actual chord quality) So: G - Em - Am -...

...patch nearly 90 vulnerabilities in Mac OS X, Safari, and third-party applications. Most of those are updates to the Unix tools and apps in the underlying OS structure (cups, emacs, X11, a boatload for ClamAV). I like reading those details and every one says "...arbitrary execution of code.....

take a dominant 7 w: 1357 (root, third, fifth & flatted or minor 7)& lower any one of those tones 1 half step & you'll have a diminished chord CrowBear are you sure about this? Seems like you get "variations on a theme"... some have the requisite flat third and flat fifth to g...

My attitude is this: whenever possible, an application should be written in portable language with a minimum of OS-specific hooks. Web-based applications that are written in PHP (like the Forum here) run on any web server, regardless of OS. The Forum server is a Mac, but it could easily be moved to...

Oh and one that can run Mac OSX, being that Mac OSX can run Windows. That's not really true. The new Intel Mac hardware can run Windows instead of OS X, or you can run Windows in a virtual machine via Parallels Desktop (which is not an Apple program). In neither case is OS X actually running Window...

I can do essentially anything I want on a Mac, or in Windows, or with some flavor of Linux.... but it all comes down to what really matters:

I use a MacBook Pro because it looks so darned cool.

Depending on what kind of laptop it is you may be able to remove the keyboard easily. Sometimes the bezel pops off and perhaps there are some screws through the back holding it in, then there is usually a plastic connector that slides over releasing the ribbon cable. Do a quick search online like &q...

Depending on how much footage you have you might want to look for software that allows "log & capture"... I'm just learning about it but here goes. "Logging" is basically when you play your tape into the computer and mark in and out points for the good footage... you skip the...

Cool, I'll definitely have to give myth a try once I can get linux to play nice with my TV. I guess I'm gonna have to figure out the refresh rates to get that going. Man, the PC-to-TV thing was a huge headache. When you get closer give me a shout and we can take this via email and maybe i can save ...

It's CrossOver Linux, at http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxoffice/ I just installed the CrossOver for Macintosh product and it runs Office apps (installed from the Office CD, so yes, Publisher is there... haven't tried it yet). The nice thing is Outlook seems to behave nicely with my corporate ...

great tune, Erv, I'll take one please!

Erv... I'm enjoying these, so please send me this one if you can.

Thanks y'all, that's kind of what I was expecting to hear.

I'm glad I checked so now I whon't go through the expense of getting a snake made... next I will ask about the NV112 effects loop, but that'll be in another post!

Hey all... I've recently acquired a Nashville 112 which I'm liking a whole lot. I'm using a Goodrich L-120 through the "volume pedal" loop (pre-EQ, tri-cord, etc...). I'm wondering about what happens, tone-wise, were I to switch to a Hilton (or other pot-less pedal)... do folks still go th...

I got a tape of the Shaggs in the mid-90s and was instantly hooked. They're excellent. I love seeing the expression on first-time-listener's faces.

Just played mine on a gig last night!

Mine's a DeArmond version... I wouldn't try to make it my main bass but it is fun and has a certain amount of stage appeal

up up and away...

Hey, the Pod is fun but I don't have the time to mess with it. I should really just practice pickin'! Line 6 Pod XT, great condition, manual, power adapter (sorry, no box). Comes with the Line 6 Pod "mic stand" mount - price lowered to $200 - I will pay for shipping inside the lower 48 sta...

Hey Steve,

What Brad said... go get http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm


The free version allows playback of wmv files from within QuickTime Player. It works quite well... better than things like mplayer or vlc or whatever. Very easy.

Yes, thanks Ricky, that's good info. To everyone, has the subject of the Pro-I evolution been covered somewhere here? I'd search but it can sometimes take a while to comb through all the posts. If anyone knows of a thread and can link it or provide a title or some cool search terms i'd appreciate it...

Erv, I would certainly like to check this out as well.

hey folks... As I seem to always be saying in my posts, I've been playing less than a year. I've had the plain-ol' AI Clarus 1 for several years... one channel, no reverb. I got it to use as a bass amp when I lived in New York. I really like it. I run it through a Raezer's Edge 12-inch cabinet and h...

I say, in answer to your original question, you already know where to start and that is getting a sweet guitar right out of the gate. I've only been playing less than a year, but here's what i think: Get some basic "tricks" down... -basic chords (go ahead and related them to 6-string guita...
