The Steel Guitar Forum

The Chandler six stringer is a great little steel. Met up with Mike this morning, bought it and brought it home. A while back I sold my Fender Double 8 that I had for over fifty years - but kept getting that "Empty Feeling" when I went to the rec room. Mr. Chandler fills that void. The gui...

Please let me know if the Chandler Lap Steel is still available.

Thanks, Dave Clark, Franklin, TN

Is this little steel still available?

Price ? Thanks, Dave Clark

The guy that bought the guitar has a band named
Aqua Velva.

Jim says he will merely delete the D and the E, and he has the desired lettering A V .

Sold the Fender to Jim Hoke here in Nashville. He picked it up this morning and is one happy picker.

Thanks for posting the photos, Mitch. And thanks to everyone for their interest.

I purchased a Fender Dual 8 in 1954 and the music company that sold it to me placed decal letters spelling out DAVE on the front. I really liked it, but now it is a problem. I am trying to sell the guitar and a couple of guys have asked how to remove the letters. :( :lol: :lol: :whoa: Does anyone kn...

This Double neck is in excellent condition. Sorry to say that it has stayed in a closet, or under the bed, over 99% of the time I have had it. Purchased new in Baton Rouge. With legs, and original case.
$ 1400. Will gladly e-mail photos.

Hey Rich - Have you been able to get this tab ? Steelin The Blues, for C6th plus 7th, is tabbed out in Jerry Byrds course from 1954. Last number in the book. He changed the lowest string from C to C#. I have always felt that this book was the best one ever written for the beginning steel guitar play...

Outside dimensions for my Fender case are 30 1/2 X 13 X 4 inches. Double neck eight string. However, mine is the short scale! Legs fit into a compartment built into the case.

Dave

Does anyone have any of these numbers tabbed out for C6, lap steel ?

Thanks, Dave Clark

Fred - These were originally sold in VHS format, and have been sold out at Marty Robbins Enterprises for a few years. I did order them on DVD format from England. Only problem was that these were not formatted to play in our US DVD format. They do fine on my computer. Might have a second set around ...

Hey Dom -

Thanks for sending Sleepwalk back up tract my way. I was able to downlod with no trouble.

How about a list of other tracts you have. Tracts like this sure do improve practice time. Any chance you would have Steel Guitar Rag in key of E?

Thanks again, Dave

JERRY BYRD AND LLOYD GREEN![/b]

Kayton does it all! He'a a great showman, plays the old ones, new ones, some Hawaiian numbers, and special effects that only he can do. Bobby Seymour attended Kayton's last Steel Guitar Demo at the Hall of Fame - and gave it a big "Thumbs Up" in his weekly newsletter. Looking forward to Ju...

This is a real oldie, Ray. Thanks for posting it. Recording artists were fortunate to have Jerry Byrd backing them up. Hank and Anita Carter sang together on Bluebird Island. I believe this was in the 60's. Who was the steeler on Bluebird Island. Maybe Kayton Roberts. He has a great Hawaiian style. ...

Ray - Thanks for all your work with the web-site. There's a bunch of us that still enjoy hearing the music of the master. Today being colder than the normal April in Nashville, I'm doing "home chores" - and cranked up the old VCR so I could see and hear Jerry on one of the NPT tapes from H...

Hey Tom -

Please check your e-mail!

Thanks, Dave

Tom - I believe Oahu Music put out Steel Guitar Ray, Panhandle Rag, and other numbers with Tab for E Major Tuning and E 7th tuning. Original arrangements by Leon McAuliffe. This was "Many Moons Ago" - possibly mid fifties. I'm still looking thru my "stuff" for these and will let ...

It is great to have the JB Web Site up and running again, Ray. Jerry plays the heck out of Little Grass Shack this week. I've always liked that number. Kayton Roberts also does a great job on this one. I believe someone had posted a You Tube with Kayton playing Little Grass Shack a few months back. ...

Ray - Thanks for hanging in there and getting the site back up and running. I checked out the Jerry's Music section today and heard Jerry doing a fantastic job of backing up Ernest Tubb singing "Don't Look Now". Also heard "Regret to Say Aloha" with Jerry, and Song of The Islands...

Glad you did this, Bas.

Many thanks to you, Steinar, and others that contributed to one of the best threads ever on the forum.

Was great to have input from Jack Byrd. Hopefully, Jack will continue to have input when Jerry's name comes up.

Thanks again, Dave

As Jeff Strouse pointed out, these were from the Drifter series that Marty recorded in late sixties. I believe Marty recorded four Drifter albums, featuring Jerry Byrd on two of them. They were put out in VHS format and have not been available for several years. I did find them on E-bay in DVD forma...

Ernie -

When were these numbers actually recorded ?

Dave

Hank's duet with Anita Carter was super! I have always felt that Anita had more musical talent than anyhone else in the Carter family. She also had some good duets with Hank Snow.

It's great when these oldies are posted!

Dave Clark

Barry - Thanks for posting the link!
