The Steel Guitar Forum

Well, let's see - I noticed lots of leather, black clothing (T-shirts, especially), tattoos, earrings (on men), baseball caps forward and backward, at least one neon mohawk, raspy and growled lyrics... Couple guys playing(?) bottleneck slide, but I didn't see or hear any steel before I shut it off. ...

Bill, RAYMOND wasn't running sound, was he?

You have heard 'Layla', haven't you?

I'm no fan of skydog OR Randolph, but I know what you mean; give me precision any day.

I just stumbled across this in The Denver Post in a gallery titled "Off-beat Inventions" - http://photos.denverpost.com/mediacenter/2010/08/offbeat-inventions/#8 The accompanying blurb reads "A look at some inventions of yesteryear that were a bit bizarre or just slightly ahead of the...

I would most certainly go for a copy of that recording!

(They're not all playing AT ONCE, are they?!)

Ain't nothin' but the truth, Roger!

I guess I see the topic a little differently than most; I enjoy listening to skilled musicians and admire and respect great musicianship, but to entertain me - ? You gotta make me laugh!

I remain totally mystified as to how anyone could even raise a smile watching that drivel.... Well, call me low-brow, but Benny Hill used to crack me up! And Hee Haw? My favorite was that skit Jimmie Riddle and Jackie Phelps used to do before getting chased off with a fire extinguisher. :lol: Sophi...

"For many years, most of the world's steel guitarists were isolated from each other. Information about the instrument was hard to find. The Internet has changed all that. Today non-pedal and pedal steel guitarists of all skill levels share their knowledge with many other players every day."...

Don't be such an asp.

You guys PAY someone for these lame jokes? Egypt you.

So what's your stand when a company WON'T work through a bad build and WON'T make it right?

Gol-durn young WHIPPERSNAPPERS!! Why, back in MY day...!!

Lovely, just lovely... I really enjoyed that, thank you!

I almost feel guilty when I check in to see the latest news (or travails) of poor Ivano. But, better educated is better prepared; anyone would be doing themselves a favor to check out a company's background before embarking on a major purchase. I did a little searching to satisfy my curiosity if Iva...

Very cool - some of that ambient stuff really speaks to me!

And not a single Mullins in the bunch!

Dang - !

Floormat...

Pack-a-Seat...

Drink Holder...

Bar & Pick caddy...

No wonder I can't play - I ain't got the right ACCESSORIES!

(I *was* thinking about a tonneau cover to keep the sun/wind/rain offa me)

Eye of the beholder, I guess...

I think it's really nice-looking, reminds me of a Fender Olympic White finish that has aged well.

Hmmm... seems to me the man has made a lifelong career out of writing new songs and becoming a living American institution in the bargain; if he feels like "rehashing old barroom jam numbers", I'd say he's probably earned the right.

Betcha he's ENJOYING himself!

Looking behind me, I believe as a young man I set off on many disappointing searches based on other peoples' suggestions, opinions and recommendations. I certainly don't look at instruments, amps and signal processors the same way I used to... with age, I've simplified my approach to making music; r...

Well, heck - I noticed this little stipulation in the DETAILS section: "WIRELESS SYSTEMS, BASS GUITARS, LOOPING EFFECTS, AND POWER AMPS ARE NOT PERMITTED AT ANY LEVEL OF THE COMPETITION." I WAS going to drop their jaws with my newly-developed "Looped Blues Bass" technique, but if...

I see the garages and the cars, but I didn't spot a Mercury in the bunch...

The twerp is pretty small in stature; I bet he got beat up a lot as a kid...

I watched a clip, it didn't look staged to me, just outrageously low-class.

Anyway, WHERE'S TIM MCGRAW WHEN YOU NEED HIM?!

I was quite surprised at the emotion that clip stirred up in me... can't exactly put my finger on it.

Listening to it made me feel almost... angry.
