The Steel Guitar Forum

Could someone give the common uses of the B 10`th raise? I`m still learning,but would it be a mistake to take it off the A pedal?

Are palm harmonics"fretted" with the heel of the right hand? Sounds like it would be difficult to be accurate w/ the contact point.

Is Clem still in Nashville?

If it was audio only,with no mention of multiple steels,I`ll bet nobody would even suspect what was going on.

Hi Gary,PM sent.

I don`t get the question.I bought it to play it.

Thanks to both of you.My first plan was to let an expert go through the guitar,reconfigure,adjust,etc,but was quoted $2k,give or take depending on what he found.Probably worth it,but not doable for me at this time.I`m reading and re-reading the P/P Methodology and Practice booklet,but there will be ...

I acquired an Emmons D10(1970) and it has the C6`th pedals reversed,ie,10`th string C to A drop is on pedal 4,A to B raises are on pedal 8,etc.Looks like it`ll be a real PITA to change everything around,but I`m too old to adapt to this setup.I`m thinking the easiest way out is to strip it out and re...

Thanks,Lynn,I`ll look into that.

Hi,is there a source for these? I need a couple of long ones for C6`th pedal raises.Not pedal rods,the bellcrank to changer ones.My guitar is from 1970. Thanks.

Hi Ken,did you finish and sell the lacquered tweed unit?

Hi,looking for the Fender Pedal Bass,a 1 octave pedal unit.Thganks.

I`ve been AWOL for a long time here,used to enjoy Greg`s lessons.Can`t find any trace of his posts.What happened?(Hope I have his name right).

I tried to buy the cd on CD Baby,pushed the "buy cd" button...nothing happened.Can I get it elsewhere?

Any suggestions for my first TJ album? I`m sure they`re all good...is there more steel on one in particular? Thanks.

Is that real maple on top,or mica? Thanks.

Hi, To sell a guitar in this range,an inspection/appraisal by an expert would be a big help.Is the bridge original?...bridge plate?Has it been refinished.How high is the action,has the bridge been shaved,and does the saddle have any room left for adjustment?Any intelligent buyer would want to know a...

Billy used a slide on La Grange?

Having perfect pitch doesn`t enable you to hear "out of tuneness"any better than a person with good relative pitch.It merely allows you to relate a heard note to a letter name without checking a tuning fork etc for reference.

Probably heliarced,ground,and polished.Nice work.

Does this have,or did it used to have, the volume and tone controls?

I don`t know who started the trend of excluding the snare from drumset sales,but I find it annoying.The buyer has to track down a blue sparkle snare,which won`t ever match,and the seller has an oddball that will never match any future kit.Rogers dyna-sonic owners are the worst offenders,now everyone...

Hi,do you have the pedals and bench?

I guess that worked for the Big E,but it sure seems like a difficult process to memorize.
