Any more bidders? Going to give this a couple more hours then close it. Larry has high bid. Thanks.

Hey gang, I have a mint condition Peterson VS-II tuner for sale. I'm the original owner. I'm out of work and could use any help. This little guy is from a non-smoking home, never left the house (no gigs) and is in excellent condition. Includes the power supply. I'm going to leave this up for a few d...

I love Dave Dudley and love his entire Mercury catalog. Years ago I transfered all his albums to CD. He's so overlooked and they've never released any of his Mercury albums on CD. Such a shame. I always loved Talk of the Town because of all the steel on there. He didn't use much steel on his other a...

I've been playing 6 string for over 30 years. I've never been comfortable doing Merle or Chet style and I just don't get it. I fell in love with Mississippi John Hurt and always wished to play that style. One of my all time favourites was Lindsey Buckinghams's Never Going Back Again from Fleetwood M...

If it has Midi out then you can use it to trigger anything that accepts midi input. Hook that bad boy up to your computer and you have access to millions of soft synth modules ect.. have fun..
btw.. I love that last line.."it's not mine, it's for a friend." haha..

Sold, Thanks Winston.

Hey gang, I have a M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard for PC or Mac I would like to pass on. I'm asking $30 o.b.o with shipping included. (USA only please). It's in perfect shape and you can read the specs and system requirements here. http://www.m-audio.com/products/view/delta-44#.VQi0XeE2eHs Drivers are d...

saw it a few years ago myself. Absolutely fantastic. I'm a huge Beach Boys fan so it was amazing seeing all the musicians who played on those tracks. I also love all the surf records they made while the record label put some phoney groups on the covers. A must see!

Thanks guys. I've played standard tuning on my regular guitars for 25 years now it's still a life's work. Just wondering how you guys manage to learn all new scales and chord positions for all these different tunings. Makes my head spin. I played a bit of E9 pedal steel and it's so close to a regula...

Thanks Dom. Yes, I've played almost nothing but c6 since I bought a lap steel. Can't wait to check out the new tunings. BTW I play tennis in Beverton 4 times a week. I might have to bring my guitar with me soon and get a lesson with you. J

Thanks, I've been wanting to get that book for years. I always wondered about the gauges.

oh sweet. I've been playing only c6 for years on the steel. Can't wait to try these other tunings. Btw.. I live in Portland too. Do you play out anywhere or give lessons?

If you only had one lap-steel guitar (6-string)for a Hawaiian gig and wanted to cover as many tunings as possible. What would be the best ones for a single guitar...As in, easy to re-tune between songs. Thanks and hope that made sense. J

Is it just the compression or bit rate or a hundred more variables?

Great article non the less. The compression on modern pop is unbearable. More to come..

Sorry, but I don't know a Dick Schofield. I'll have to look him up. I've lived may years in Cali though. I was born and raised in Detroit.

that was brutal.. I cried about 20 seconds in.. he's a legend.. so sad.

o.k.. I know it's been asked before. When did becoming a musician mean wining a contest? Out of all the greatest musicians of our lifetime..how many got there from wining a contest?

I'm a little late to the "party" on this one.

The final nail in "country's" coffin? good lord..

cds' are the biggest waste of space ever.. and I thought my 1k vinyl collection was massive.gave all but 100 albums away. it's time to move on.. get rid of them and never look back.. most of the early mastered cds' sound like garbage anyway. life's too short.. I have so much new music to listen to n...

and I forgot to mention Neil Young's Harvest.. some of the purest country music I've ever heard..

great thread.. oh lord.. it's so subjective.. Beggars Banquet, Sweetheart of the Rodeo... Dylan for the most part.. even some Pink Floyd..Grateful Dead. I hear country... I turn on the local country station now??? is this really country? Just because they tell me it is..? Fun to rant.. doesn't mean ...

great story my friend. That fiddle is a real beauty. Happy for the guitar but more thankful that you made it out alive. Thanks for sharing.
