The Steel Guitar Forum

hey Jim, I went back to my initial post and your right, I added an extra w there at the end. Too many intervals. I'll see if I can edit.
Thanks,
Joel

10/4 Lee, Doug said that it should be ready early July!! The reason for eight notes is it just sounds better, that's all. Played decending it sounds like "Joy to the World". That's kind of how I can tell if it's right. I think I just learn different than some(most) people and was just tryi...

That's awsome! I was working 4p till 12a and would stay up after I got home and would watch your vids. The Nashville numbers was great,many kudos. Yes, I would like to order videos. I would watch on youtube at the hotel which had highspeed internet but here I only have dial up. Is the info to order ...

Ok, well i've been practicing scales and was getting confused because you always need to refer back to the major scale. Unless you have a photographic memory it can be hard to remmember each major scale while learning the minor. Everything just starts to get all jummbled into one big blah. What help...

What's forum? I've been out for a few days practicing major scales. Anyway, can anyone recommend a dvd package for a beginner? I saw some onsite but the beginner is just A&B. Is that the one I should order? Also, I looked at the jeffran site and was kind of confused 'cause nothing said "beg...

Well it's all slowly starting to make sense. I need to practice, practice, and more practice. It's kind of alot of info in a couple days but I'm still truck'n. I'll play scales then read some advice then practice some more, read a second remark think I've got it, then I'll forget half of the first t...

WOW :D!!!! Awsome! That's alot of great info and everybody helped. I really can't thank you guys enough. Steve that 6th note deal should spring me foward in the learning process. I do thank you. Well then, looks like I might be away for a bit to learn the majors and minors solidly before I get confu...

OK, well what that seems to mean is that minor, blues, and whatever are relative to the major scale? The major will exactly fit the pattern but all others are relative to the major? So then you adjust according to the major scale, right? It doesn't mean that you have to actually play a flat but to f...

Thanks a bunch guys. I kind of get it but the Am doesn't fit the pattern there at the end. That's what I was going by. I guess I'll just have to remmember that. For the major scales I'm going by the Note Finder diagram and everything fits. I thought that the minor would be the same, no pie diagram, ...

Sorry the diagram went bad.

Ok, I never learned the whole music theory thing so I'm starting now. Here is my question: A minor? I II bIII IV V bVI bVII I A B C D E F G A I understand why there is no Cb 'cause it would be a B right? Now, why no Gb? It's really bothering me. Maybe it's a typo(yeah right!). Between F and G is a w...

Hey guys thanx for the warm welcome.
Hey Lee B., I really thought Tony M.(Country Roland) was the only one in the whole RGV.
Thanx again,
Joel

What's up forum? I'm a newbie here and beginner to the steel. I've been just strumming chords on an acoustic for about 7 years, played in a band but never played lead. I have a TEAK Stage One on order and can't wait!! Peavey Nasville also on order. I hope ya'all don't get bothered by me 'cause I ten...
