The Steel Guitar Forum

Scout says:it's also kind of a shame that he doesn't acknowledge all the great players who played jazz on the instrument.
My thoughts exactly, JB, SW, BE were greater players than he ever was..yet he does not even mention them..I was put off by his omissions.

Ron, Great job and great tune should sell a million..that's what the public will buy..forget about all that million fast note stuff that nobody buys

an old trick that banjo players and Dobro players used years ago was to wet their fingertips with saliva before they put the picks on
THAT'S THE ANSWER...WORKS FOR ME... TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIND OUT

Dear Brent, Thank you for the info on the new push=pull Emmons Steel..I wish you all the best, the guitar is a work of art and I'm sure people will want to own them..Please let us know when they are available for sale and if the set-ups are easy to change or easy to add changes...also, the price of ...

Great sound..is this guitar a push pull or an all pull and what is the price of this new Emmons steel?...TIA.

"South" was a big instrumental in the mid to late 50's...Buddy Merrill did a great job on his four neck steel...Buddy never gets enough credit...IMHO.

Speedy West's....Truck Drivers Ride, Afternoon of the Swan, Steelin' Moonlight..to name just a few

Thanks b0b, string spacing is very important...the string spacing on my Williams is closer than on my Mullen..about
11/32 on the Mullen and 10/32 on the Williams..I like the wider string separation.

b0b or Johnny, Is the string separation the same on the 10 string and 12 string steel?

This is a great deal with Mr. Cox's D13 tuning already on it and an inspection from Jim Palenscar. I might add that Jim Palenscar is a great guy to deal with. It might take a long time to learn the D13th tuning but if you are young it will be worth it.

Remember, regardless of how good an artist is..the public decides what it will buy...if eight million kids cry "Mommy buy me this CD" the artist will do great. The kids control the music industry....Kids buy CD's...adults buy cars and houses.....for the most part.

How many people are making a living playing Pedal Steel??..it seems that even the very skilled players are not doing great. Blame the public..all they buy is noise..BANG..BANG

Did College bring about the demise of the pedal Steel Guitar? Most know that to achieve proficiency on the pedal steel is very time consuming. Most young people have to study for college if they want to get a good paying career. This time spent on college leaves little time for learning the pedal st...

No more G# to A string popping..now the highest note is G.

great song, great tone and great playing...This D13th 12 string tuning should be a Standard..everything one needs to play country, pop or jazz...what more does anyone need?...Big thanks to Mr. Cox.

they were long, they were clean and they were musical. When I listened to his improvisation on the song "I love you because"..the one he did with the piano player on the Ray Price show, I realized what great taste he had in the improv lines he played. Some players play fast but their impro...

bOb or Johnny..What you two guys have come up with is pure genius...I suggest you guys do as Jeff Newman did and put out a book and CD of "Music to get D13th or E13 on your 12 string tuning" Just put eight or ten standard tunes in the book and CD so people can learn how to use the new set ...

Steve should teach the art of improvisation at a college because he sure knows how to do it..great, great player..thanks for sharing.

this looks like a very difficult project and should only be sold face to face so the buyer knows what he is getting into...parts may or may not be available and the buyer needs to have the skill to rebuild it..few good players have the skill to build and play..but maybe you can find one of the few.....

This is a super bargain..the only thing I would have Mike do (while it is still there at the factory) is change the E9th over to the Emmons setup and put a couple flags on the outermost knee levers. The Day set up might be great but the Emmons is the most used....there is all the guitar you will eve...

this is a great bargain for someone who is looking for a
top line steel...these deals do not come around very often.

The top side looks great but the under-carriage looks cluttered and dated.

Larry Baker, I agree with you "Live Steel Strings" are the best I ever found for the E9th tuning..they just never break on my Mullen. I get them from Hopewell, VA. 23860

This is a great buy..you now have your bottom G# back on your E9th neck...when they went to a ten string from an 8 string you gained two strings but then they put three new high strings on the E9th and you lost the bottom G#...now you have it back with an eleven stringer..they should all be that way.
