The Steel Guitar Forum

Ralph Mooney on Marty Stuart's Late Night Jam at The Ryman Auditorium on June 9, 2010. "Nashville, TN that is"!! Let's ALL show up!

That guitar, or one like it, would look good next to this Fender 400. I have spoken with Dawn and seen several of their guitars around town. A Jackson is in my future! I feel the itch!! Enjoy that, Brett. Let's hear something you record with it!

That's how I want to sound!

Very interesting! Would it work to have some sort of acoustic Dobro mic inside the can, through a separate jack? In addition to the pick up, of course. This could be recorded on a separate channel then, and mixed with the electric/amp signal/track.

How do I join / or...Hvordan blir jeg medlem?

KLM broke the headstock off my 1960's Dobro between Amsterdam and Detroit. I fixed it myself. Now I only fly with Telecasters. I'd like to see them break one of those!

Tom Cattin' by Tom Brumley, Corn Pickin' and Slick Slidin' by James Burton and Ralph Mooney, anything by Speedy West (and Jimmie Bryant) On Every Street by Dire Straits.( featuring Paul Franklin ) It's like a lesson in taste in my opinion. Jazz by Jernigan by Doug Jernigan....the list goes on foreve...

That's the stuff that should be on the radio instead of that bubblegum crap they keep churning out here in Nashville. Imagine that...music with emotion. Nice work!

Scotty's in St. Louis. They will custom make any set you need. Even comes in a pouch with their logo. Class AND good service.

I believe it IS the hardest instrument. On what other instrument do you need both arms and both legs all doing different things and moving in opposite directions at the same time! The left leg is operating pedals AND knee levers, and the right leg is operating knee levers AND a volume pedal. I am a ...

Augmented is usually notated by adding a + after the number (5+) and diminished by using a small circle in the upper right hand corner of the number indicating the chord. (Like notating temperature)I don't have that small circle on my keyboard. Half diminished (m7b5) uses the same circle with a line...

I bought this guitar at Gruhn a little over a year ago. Although they are nice people, they do not seem to have any indepth knowledge of pedal steel guitars. A lot of their PSG's are on consignment. Jim Sliff, Donny Hinson and Russ Tcak (I probably mis-spelled Russ' last name) is your forum go-to-gu...

This is a 1964 Fender 400. It's tuned to A6, but I removed the F# string, so it's currently a 7-string. The gap from the missing string leaves a nice space between the low and high strings for playing Chet Atkins/Merle Travis style.

Get a FENDER !

I'll take $ 3.275 for this one, because ALL the pedals work!

One last thing: Have you tried a ground lift on your amp?

I have 110V dimmers for some lights in my control room. When I record (any instrument)I have to turn off those lights because the dimmers emit RF interference. The reverb in my steel amp(Peavey Nashville 112) has always had an annoying hum, so I use an Alesis Microverb instead.I have a 1964 Fender 4...

Like Brandon said, definetely Paul Franklin with the Time Jumpers on Monday night, then Mike Sweeney, he is at The Wheel now, I think (other side of broadway) with legendary drummer from The Buckaroos, Willie Cantu. Every night? Otherwise, there are GREAT steel players up and down Broadway, The Stag...

I am a stickler for correct spelling, so I ask you: is the word spelled copedEnt or copedAnt? Have seen it both ways about 50/50 over the years.
Thanks.

I can only relate to this as it pertains to guitars, because I'm too new at steel to feel the difference. Besides, I have only owned two. One day a couple of years ago, as I often do, I stopped in at Corner Music here in Nashville. Having time to kill, I went into their acoustic room and picked up a...

WHO CARES: They could be playing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" for all I care. These are LEGENDS! Let's hear'em! Put me down for a copy.

Dave.
Do you know anything about his tuning/copedent?
Terje.

I went to the Bear Family Records site. SCould not find anything with The Strangers. HELP.

Although I own the Fender 400 in the picture, my main instrument is a Danelectro baritone guitar. I tune it down a 5th, so my open E is actually an open A, so I always play in the key of the 5-chord when playing a standard number chart. (some people tune theirs to B) Thinking of a standard string qu...
