Never make a bet with a golfer on the first tee who has a dark sun tan, squinty eyes and a one iron in his bag.

The vocal artists deserve much credit, but I lean toward the CD's where Paul Franklin is on the studio sessions, which is vast in itself.

Herb Steiner Courses

I recently received a couple of Herb's courses and they are excellent. The tabs are well written and the courses contain a CD that has Herb playing the tune and a backup track without the steel for practice. If you're looking to learn some new tunes and have the backup tracks as well, you should che...

I've played acoustic bass for the last 30+ years. Got hooked on the PSG just a couple of years ago and can't seem to get enough.

Fresh new ideas seem to extend practice time without fatigue. I recently got the DVD from Mickey Adams and hours of practice time go by without realizing it. Thanks Mickey

Being a new player that plays totally by ear, memory or as I call it association is the key to my development. After learning how to harmonize the scales and committing them to memory, association to the phrases that I'm trying to play becomes second nature. When I hear somthing that I would like to...

I have been a bass player for the past 40+ years. Started playing the steel 3 years ago when my older brother passed away and left me his gear. The steel is such a refreshing change musically and I can't seem to get enough. I don't see that changing for me anytime soon.

Tommy & Lloyd

Without a doubt, one of my favorite videos of all time is that of Tommy & Lloyd's presentation of the E9th a few years back. Just curious if anyone of the forum was there for the performance, where it was done and what your thought of the night were.

Would you Session 400 users mind sharing some of your tone settings and the steels that you play? I have a 400 and a NV1000 and the 1000 seems to sound better with a SuperPro w/710 pickups.

ID This Old Sho-Bud

These ShoBud's were left to me when my brother passed away. I now play the Super Pro but would like to identify the older one in the photos. He acquired it in the early 70's. Any ideas of what vintage it is? http://photos.yahoo.com/mgorsch
