The Steel Guitar Forum

I have a Fender Steel King and a Peavey TubeFex and I would like to use the FX loop on the FSK. On the rear side of the FSK there are FX Send and FX Return. Same possibilities on my TF, but I don´t know how to connect. The TF manual doesn´t tell me how to get along. If I do it wrong I might cause ...

We are going to visit New York for 4 days in November, staying at Warwick Hotel on West 54th street. We will attend "From Sammy with love" at the Apollo theatre on the 10th of November. I have some thoughts about doing other things too, when evenings comes along. So please help us. :-) Is ...

Thanks a lot guys,
I´ve got a lot of thoughts from you and I really appreciate it. I guess I don´t have to use all of my equipment.

Together with my Emmons D10 I´m using a Hilton vol.ped, a Tubefex, Boss RV3 and a Twin Reverb 65 Reissue, sometimes a Fender Steel King. To get the most and the best out of it, in what order would you suggest to put them together? Yes, I´m using the tubes within the Tubefex. I would appreciate if ...

Thanks a lot guys,
I´ve found what I was looking for.

I once had it but now it´s gone and I´ve lost track of it. It is a program where you can register your copedant and from that you can see how to build a chord on, for example, first fret or the eight fret and so on. Is there someone out there who knows what I am talking about please give me a hint...

Thanks a lot guys, then I don´t have to worry

The Post Gain knob on my TF doesn´t work like it used to. I can´t feel the start position or the stop position. I can wind the knob around and around as many laps as I want. I haven´t tried it but I assume I can. The red lights though is giving me a hint of when I´m at the top position. Is this ...

Richard, I would talk to Lynn Stafford in Oregon US. He´s a dealer for sure and he did an oustanding job with my Emmons a couple of month ago. I´ve got his mail address if you´re interested.

He has done it again, Lynn Stafford of Portland Oregon. He has restored my Emmons pedal steel guitar and, as usual, done an incredible job. He has replaced some parts and other parts are polished. The guitar is like new, it sounds wonderful, looks beautiful, but most of all, it is mine. I can not th...

If you practice and when you practice, give and practice 100% using all of your normal equipment ! How can you perform 100% if you haven´t practice 100% ?
I Think it´s a simple roule.

Sorry, there´s a big lake between us Otherwise...

...so maybe someone out there can give me some advise. Current situation is RKR lowers 2nd one half (1/2) and one whole 1/1, but also 9th a half tone. RKL raises the 1st a half (1/2) and a whole (1/1) and 2nd a half (1/2) as of the 7th a half (1/2) My problem is, I want the Inner RKL lever to raise ...

Sid, I´ve always thought that I had the right tunes out of my guitar and I can´t remember any complains heard from anyone. Maybe they were just polite, who knows? In order to try to learn how to program my Peterson I aimed at you´r way of tuning the guitar. When I was done, I had a guitar with a ...

Thanks a lot Lane, I think I understand. I don´t know why and how but maybe I shouldn´t bother to much, only stick to the rules

Sid,
can you please explain the following....
4. By using the up/down arrow keys set C# to -16.7
Why -16,7?

Erv, how much for sending me a copy of each?
Thx

... I Think I´ve solved my tuning problem. I eased the nylon tuner and spacer as much as I could and tuned 1st string to F#, then I put rod to a new hole in bell crank, i fact the last hole. I pushed the RKL and tuned 1st string to G#, released the RKL and found 1st string at F#. I kept doing so ove...

OK, I get the Picture. I back the tuner, but when will I reach the normal position? Is it when I reach F# using the RKL or what? I´m not a technician and I assume you found that out allready so some more guidance is appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys !!

Bob, I´ve got an Emmons D10, all pull, from the mid 1990.

When I tune it Open, there´s no problem, I got my F#. Problems occur when tune it using RKL, raising from F# to G#. When I tune it to G# and I check F# on Open, I´m almost down to F. I tune it to F# again and lose my G# on RKL. No change of strings or gauge is done. But I can see the Hex tuner and t...

Thank you Dick, and keep up the good work. When I did a print out of the files I got from you, I couldn´t imagine the number of pages, fills and licks there were. Those pages is something that must be useful for any steelpicker, newbie or master. Now it´s all up to me to learn and remember as many a...

I have a Radio station issued double LP with Jim and there´s a lot of steel guitar. One of my big favorites are Most of the time and Little old dime. And for sure, I hear a pedal steel guitar.

I´ve had my Live Steel Strings for over a week now and I am impressed. They really are different from what I´ve tried earlier. I experience a better sustain, a warmer sound and that´s what I aim for, I even think they´ve got a better/higher lustre. One more advantage is that I can configure or custo...

Hi Rick,
I have a very nice intro to Fraulein, in G major, but I need to scann my draft, so I can get you a copy.
If you give me an email address I can send you my intro tomorrow evening, Swedish time. I hope you can wait.
Take care
Kjell
