The Steel Guitar Forum

I never could get the sound I wanted out of a SK . So I traded it in for one of those new Fender Twin Tone Master. It weighs 33 lbs. I put a PODXT in front of it and its better than the SK. Still not satisfied . I may swap the 2 12's for a 15 in speaker. Cowboy Eddie Long has a demo of one he bought...

Jim yall need to bring her show farther south. Maybe Nashville or better yet Birmingham .

Just now seeing this Fred. So sorry for your loss. We lost a grandson 20 years ago and the grief still rears its head at times. Still love my Justice guitar. My prayers are with you and the family and stay safe .

S0 sorry for your loss . Prayers for you and your family .

I seem to recall that this amp was deliberately designed so that tone controls all set to 12 o'clock was a good starting point. I think I found this to be pretty much a good approach. My experience is that the exception is the reverb which should be turned off, period. It is IMO virtually unusable....

My first date with my wife I took her to see BJ in June of 1972 . He was the headliner I believe at the last Birmingham AL. radio station WVOK put on for many years . Always loved his silky voice. He will be missed .

Mike just learning about your cancer. Praying for your continued cancer free checkups. Aa a bladder cancer survivor for the past 3 yrs. I believe God is the ultimate healer.

So sorry to hear of Dennis's passing. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

Susan my calendar shows June 12 being on a Friday for the Birmingham show. Is this correct?

I was sitting across the table from Ken and he is so dead on with his post. I hope to catch the next 3 mos. of this extremely talented group. Just a 3 hr. drive for me from Jasper, Al.

I have many, but I will mention this one as I don't believe anyone has posted about it. Loyd Green's break on Alan Jackson's "Remember When", just a perfect and tasteful creation that really adds to the lyrics.

Zane what effects are you using to dirty up your steel? I love everything you have ever put on youtube. Keep em coming. Jerry

Wendell and Glinda so sorry for your loss. You have our deepest sympathy from Mary, Scott, and I. Sorry this is late , havn't been on the forum much lately.

Zane I will throw a few songs at you. Wind Beneath My Wings, Stand By Me, Bridge Over Trouble Water, and My Only Love by Jimmy Fortune. One more, Yesterday

Bob and Jeremy, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother. I face the same situation with my mother. She has this same terrible disease and she doesn't have too many days left for this world. I offer prayers of condolence for your family.

I bought a Heritage back in 1982. Still have it. Put new tubes in it just a few months ago. Im keeping mine. I just bought me a mij telecaster the other day. These heritages are killer amps for lead guitar.

That looks like my guitar you got that thing stuck in.

Darvin so sorry for your loss. I can tell by her picture she had a loving heart. May God bless.

Clark you are so right my friend. Leon, if I had a heard of steels like you, Fred would have been a few dollars poorer this morning. Thanks for posting the pictures Fred. Its so good looking I just wanna stare at it instead of play it.

I received my new Justice guitar today. 5 underneath and 5 on the floor. Im tickled to death with the way it looks and sound. Now I just need some time behind the controls. You get a chance Fred post those pics. of it. I don't believe there is another one like it.

I have seen this video several times, but just now noticed the move he makes at about the 2:37 mark. I could never do that move with my feet in a million yrs. Sometimes you have to watch what is going on under the guitar just as much to what is taking place with the fingers and hands.

I heard more traditional country music on the voice tonight than you will here at the cma's this week. I have heard several new artist do new material that was in the original country styling. But if they ever get a major record deal with all that carries with it, the nit wit producers in Nashville ...

Billy I agree with Don. Very nice playing. My one suggestion and its just a matter of my personal taste, the steel needs to be a little louder in the mix or maybe back off of the drum track a little bit. Still very nice.

Jeremy ole Leon will be wanting to add one of those RB's to his herd of guitars. It is definitely a sweet sounding piece of machinery.

Dickie i have standard emmons setup on the knees. Left knee left raises e half step. Left knee right lowers e half step. Right knee left raises (1st string f# to G#, 2string D# to E, and lowers 6 string G# to G). Right knee right lowers 2 string D# to C# and 9 string D to C#. Vertical left lowers st...
