The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks for the encouraging words. I've had my steel for about 8 years. For a few of those years I bet I only played/practiced it a few times per year. Hopefully that will change now. I am finally really seeing progress which inspires me to practice more. I really need to work on my technique more th...

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! It's appreciated.

Ok, I know I'm not very good, but here is my attempt at The Old Rugged Cross, and my first video post here on the forum. Constructive criticism welcome!

Thanks Chad. If I don't see ya there I'll see ya Saturday in Branson. God Bless!

Hey Chad, where are you going to see the Crabb Family at?

Thanks for the info gentleman. I really appreciate it!

Ok, dumb question. I see steel guitars with 'split tuning' on them. What is split tuning and it's advantages? Thanks in advance.

I'm actually using my Behringer keyboard amp as a backup right now as my NV112 is not working. Its got a 5 band EQ and I'm able to tone out the harshness. No it's not a NV112, but it's definitely a good backup, and the reverb sound good.

Steven, I did basically the same thing last year. Ordered the previous release right before 2010 release came out. Called them up and they immediately sent me the new version once I sent them my receipt. (ordered from an online store)

That was SWWEEET! Very enjoyable. I have been seriously bee thinking about getting a Dobro and this pushed me a little closer.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to it.

I hope to get out of some church duties tomorrow and join you tomorrow. What's the address of the building where you have it?

Apparently the seller didn't have a clue on what it was worth. I think they are trying to work it out to match you gentlemen are recommending. You guys are great and I appreciate your input. My friend figured it was well overpriced be he had never priced them. Now he has some backing from you guys! ...

I have a good friend who has a chance to buy a 1990 or 91 model black Emmons Legrande. It's a double neck 8x6, model LD10L. He is kinda wondering about how much they are worth and did they have any issues to speak of. I think they are offering to him for approx. $8000. Any input would be appreciated!

Have a VHS of Bruce Bouton's 'Learn To Play Pedal Steel Guitar'. Will sell for $20 shipping included. Pay by check or Paypal if you pay their 3% commission.

Super fast and super good pickin'.

Does anyone know if if they are having the Siloam Springs city wide yard sale that weekend??? I can get my wife to come with me if I can throw in a little candy.. =}

Just noticed Peterson Tuners are on sale today for $169 on musicians friend. Went ahead and took the plunge. They are usually $199. Thought I'd try to let my buddies know.

Well, I bought the upgrade to the 2008.5 version Dec. 2 from Kelly Computers and Music. The day I got it I went to download the latest fixes on PGMUSIC.Com found that 2009 had come out. I emailed PGMUSIC and told them my dilemma and they said if I could prove I just bought it, they would send me the...

I had one for a couple of years, and it had very good tone and stayed in tune better than any steel I've seen, it was a 3x2 and I sold for $850 to upgrade to a Rains. However, if I'd had the money I would have kept it and left it at church so I wouldn't have to haul it back in forth.

I found when I had been playing a few years, I thought I was getting pretty good with a volume pedal, that is until I recorded myself. If you have the means to do so, record something you're comfortable playing and play it back. You might be suprised.
