Friends, 5 or 3 days ago I drove from the Chicago northern suburbs to Indianapolis to pick up my new-used amp. Boy-howdy! This thing really hollers! And, when I turned down the watts, I could hear nuances in the sound that I never heard with the Hum-Mucker practice amp I'd been using... What I didn'...

The senior paper in Mechanical Engineering is definitely much easier.... Hee, hee, Ray... But not if you're dancing and playing two bluegrass banjo's at the same time.. :wink: In other news: Today I drove from north of Chicago to Indianapolis to pick up a Peavey Nashville 400 amp. I know full well ...

Yes, yes, and yes, Brian, When I first got this beast, like you, I immediately started trying to play songs. Once in a while I'd get close, but never quite close enough. And even when I did get close, I couldn't repeat it. I couldn't see the patterns. It got frustrating as all get-out. So I stopped ...

Yep, bOb, It helped me a bunch.

Though I still practice playing outside. Just to bug those neighbors with all the screaming children...

Wayne, Bruce, and Joe.

Thanks for the vector to Jeff's work. I'll check it out.

A learning curve is exists to be climbed, because it's there...

Howdy, Al, It's good to hear that I am going down the same path others have gone down before. Sadly the original rod that drops the 8'th string is no more. It was lost by a previous owner. I found a piece of hobby shop music wire in the case; but found it a poor substitute. The fctory copedant on th...

Thanks for taking a close look at the chord charts, Ranier. That effort is much appreciated. And, of course, you are correct. I will fix that. Thank you very much!!! For better or worse, my current PSG has only one knee lever. And I have yet to get it working perfectly . (It was horribly hacked by a...

Friends, I've been playing musical instuments for decades; 6-string guitar, banjo, fiddle... Heck, I even spent some time playing the balalika. So I thought I'd pick up the PSG in no time. Boy howdy was I wrong. This thing is like playing two bluegrass banjos at once, while dancing, and working on y...

Thanks, Mike and Lee, Yes, Multiple Avocation Disorder is an affliction. But the good news is that there's no cure...<grin> Anyhoo, this evening I went after that buzzing string again. I pulled out the paper shim amd, yep, she still buzzed. I looked at the string angle and that didn't seem to be the...

Friends, I'm a newbee at working on/with/playing the pedal steel. When I bought the used/abused Little Buddy, I had no clue what I was getting into... Now, folks, I can field-strip a banjo in the dark and come out playing. But this thing is a beast. This week I replaced the original pickup with a Ge...

Yep Don, you got it right.
There's an up side and a down side to
everything.

In addition to the best music I've heard
in a while, my wife and I discovered the
best dang barbeque we've ever devowered..

Nest time you're in St. Louis, head off
to Smoki O's.

BBQ that can't be beat.

Since I have yet to get a volume pedal, I doubt that's the problem Nic... The piece of garbage 6 string electric guitar I have buzzes sometimes. But I got it used and have no idea what the state of the electronics might be. A big shot of tuner cleaner into the pots helped it. But I've lost interest ...

Friends, I've been playin' acoustic instruments since I was a pup. Guitar, banjo, fiddle, and on and on.. You know.. Old folk hippie syndrome.. But I've lusted for a pedal steel for decades. Recently that lust was fullfilled when I bought a "Little Buddy". It needs some work on the single ...

Thanks for the quick response folks, It makes me feel welcome. I'll check out the search function, Bob. Thanks for helping me see that. Great, Kyle, thanks for the origin and definition of the word copedent. For a while there I thought is might come from the Latin for putting your foot in your teeth...

Howdy, folks, I've been wanting to play pedal steel for years and I've finally got off my butt and bought one. The Little Buddy needs some work. But I'll take that as it comes... Before I start asking a bunch of foolish questions, is there an FAQ section on the SGF? I know I'll be asking dumb questi...
