The Steel Guitar Forum

Back in 1977, I was living in Maine and playing with, what would be called an "progressive country" band (something Gram Parsons would surely scoff at). But lucky for us we were play mostly original music because we got a call to open three shows for the James Cotton Blues Band (one in Ban...

I have been using a Peterson VSII tuner since 2005 without complaint. But now I'm running out of room in my pack seat. So I'm looking to get another Peterson a little smaller in size. A friend of mine is using the flip tuner, which seems just about right for me, but I can't seem to find a new one. D...

Thank you for the information. I believe when I bought it awhile ago, the seller said it was a mid 60s-mid 70s steel. I just play pedal steel and dobro and never have any call to use it. The drummer in one of my bands is interested in buying it, but I'm not sure what to charge. Any idea of the value...

I have a Fender lap steel that I need to ID (pic included). It looks like a Studio Deluxe, six string, serial number (I think, because it's not quite readable) 6989. Each fret is numbered (1-29) The case is black. Chrome knobs. White pickup. Three adjustable chrome legs. I have the original inspecti...

I've got it, Bill. Thanks so much.

I'd be grateful for the sheet music.

Thanks.

Does anyone have a simple tab to "You Can't Take That Away From Me." I sort of need it now, as I have to play it at a wedding on Thursday. Thank you in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

Thanks, guys for the advice. I'll try Buddy. I need the chord chart for the other members of the band (if I can convince them to do the song).

Does anyone have chord chart to Buddy Charlton's Almost to Tulsa?

Anybody have the tab for the steel solo in George Strait's "If You Ain't Lovin'"?

Does anyone know of any instructional materials (courses, CD, tapes, DVD, etc) that cover Rockabilly pedal steel. I'd be interested in anything. But I'd really like to see some advanced materials that translate rockabilly guitar to pedal steel. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Joel ...

Does anyone know of a good Peavey amp repair person in Texas. I'm in the Austin area, but I'd apprecate any Texas location information.

Thanks.

Years ago I used to play a silver faced Twin with 12" JBLs. In the mid 90s I switched to a Session 400 Limited (with a BW), which I still have and use on stage (except for one venue with an extremely small stage (at which I used a NV 112). I'm thinking about switching back to a Twin (a silver f...

I'm looking for a Nashville 400. I'm in Central Texas and would prefer to find one around here. BUT I'm open to paying for shipping if that's necessary.

I just found this one, which seems like it might fit the bill for you (and for me). I'm always looking for something I can use on stage to warm up before a performance. I tried the Pocket Rocket V2 which has delay and reverb. At $80 it promised to be a good alternative. It turned out to be junk. It ...

A friend of mine has a Webb amp in his studio that needs to be looked at. He lives near Austin Texas. Can anyone suggest a qualified Webb repair person in the area (or anywhere in Texas for that matter).

Thanks Paul and Ricky. You hit the nail right on the head. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the link, John. But I'm looking for the John Hughey intro to the Conway Twitty version. I heard someone play it and it's an amazing intro. If I could just get the recording of that version, I could figure it out, but I'm having trouble finding it.

I've been trying to find the Conway Twitty Version of I've Just Destroyed the World I'm Living In , with John Hughey's great into. It's from 1973, I believe and it doesn't seem to be available from any of the on-line download services. Does anyone have a copy I could purchase, or know where I could...

I've been playing an Emmons Legrande II (D-10) since 1994 and I'm starting to give some thought to trying something new. I live in the Austin area, and I'd really like to buy from someone who knows how to fix what they've sold. So, anyone have any advice about the following: What brands of pedal ste...

I have an Emmons LeGrand II with a problem. Some of the knee levers do not return to true pitch. I live around Austin, TX. Does anyone know of anyone in Texas that repairs Emmons steels?

Is anyone using the Fender Steel King amp. I saw a thread from back in 2004 when they came out, but nothing since then. I have been using a Session 400 for the last eleven years. Recently I purchased a Nashville 112 because of weight issues with the 400 (having gotten older since 1995, the old back ...
