The Steel Guitar Forum

First time for me at Dallas. I don't like to fly, but I just had to see it with all that scheduled talent. All the folks were very nice and friendly too. Girl Howdy was a kick. And wasn't Reece great?

Thanks to all who put it on in Rick's name and participated.

Very enjoyable event.

Great job Doug. Just placed my order.

Rick - Praying for your full & speedy recovery with a minimum amount of residual pain. You're a mainstay for this forum and steel guitar music. It shows by your many devoted friends and fans.

The best to you and your family.

I'm with Ray. I enjoy all the '50s R&R music. I still have a huge 45RPM collection of the hits. Buddy, Ritchie and the Big Bopper were all top performers and personalities, in my opinion. I stopped at my locker between class as a HS Sophomore and overheard some kids talking "Did you hear th...

Rick - Great playing, nice video and audio work too. Sweet sounding, quality built lap steel.

Received my copy purchased from Amazon. Because lap steel instruction books (and especially Hawaiian lap steel instruction books) are scarce on the market, I try to support those authors that put the effort into publishing. Here's the song list in the TAB section: Steel on Blues Mauna Kea Maile Lei ...

I ordered one today. The last copy Amazon had in stock. They will be getting more. I'll let you know more about the contents once it arrives.

What a man! LT's career is amazing. He was obviously born to play the steel guitar. His music is beautiful. He has an enduring faith in God and demonstrates a love for his family and others. He also doesn't seem to take himself seriously. I only wish I had the opportunity to learn SG from him when h...

Thanks for posting the link Warren. Enjoyed the band chemistry and enthusiasm. Very uplifting.

Here's a forum site specifically for lap steel guitar. They have been around since late 2001 and have about 150 members. For those interested that are not already a member, check it out.

Thanks Bill. I found multiple threads. Your comments were very useful as well.

Could someone describe the differences between these 2 amps and review the Bandit 112 for me? Thanks very much in advance.

Rob - Just finished watching your C6 lap steel video this evening. Great job. Especially liked your discription of harmonics. Clear as a bell (pun intended) .

That's neat Greg. The C6 lap steel material is much needed and appreciated. Looking forward to more in the future.

Received several of Roy's tabs and MP3s this morning. These arrangements are the perfect way to start off the season and get in the Christmas spirit. These truly demonstrate what lap steel guitar is all about. Simple, yet hauntingly beautiful melody.

Great! Thanks very much Doug.

Would like very much the C6 Tab for:

Thank you very much.

The Fullerton Museum had a red one (6 string I believe) in their collection at the recent "Instruments of Paradise" exhibit that closed Sept. 9th. Beautiful guitar.

I'm new to the forum and steel guitar in general. I've always loved bluegrass music, especially the 5- string banjo. Hawaiian music, incorporating the steel guitar was my second passion, but couldn't find published lesson material or any private instruction until reecently. I also enjoy western swin...
