The Steel Guitar Forum

This has been sold/traded.

Thanks all.

Now that's the truth.

Just getting into the PSG a little bit has opened up my musical boundaries a ton, and I've met some great people because of it - that is a fact.

Dammit, I started listening to country music last year!



And I actually like some of it!

Hey Doug,

I hope you know there is nothing personal with my selling this guitar!



It's me that feels bad...I feel like I let it down.

A couple pics to add...

Paul - it was nice to hear my PSG sound like a PSG. That's the only real love she's got in her life!



I was actually surprised at how good it did sound!

Somehow this thread got posted twice!

Sorry!

I'm in Lynnwood. PM me your number...

As some of you may remember, I recently (about 8 months ago) had a nice Stage One Pedal Steel built for me. At the time, I wasn't playing much music, so I thought that I would have time to learn it, and love it. Well, shortly after receiving the guitar, I joined a band (as a bass player) and started...

Rick

I always thought there was a generations-old blood feud between the Oregon and Seattle steelers?

I saw a documentary once called Northwest Steelers: The Great Divide.

Okay, just looked up chord substitution. I always called it "playing other stuff that sounds good, too," so yes, I understand it.

Steve Norman wrote:Do you understand chord substitution?

I don't know - maybe.

I told him I'm a total newb on the PSG, so he knows what to expect.

Some dude named Travis Nelson. He plays acoustic guitar and has some written some tunes and he wants to hear them with some PSG.

He doesn't play PSG, but I think my previous post made it sound like he does.

Daniel thats great that you are already playing with others and you just got your guitar recently. I wish I had done that myself...Im just now getting around to doing it and it has been not only unbeleiveably fun but a tremendous learning experience... your definetly invited to the steely bbq if I ...

I'm still up for having a couple of you cats over for a bbq and some info/lick swappin one saturday or sunday afternoon before the heavy rains start up again. STeve you cvould say hello to your old space echo again 8) Its already told me it misses you and that I suck.... Now this sounds fun. Well, ...

In my short time playing the PSG, I've come to the conclusion that it is the ultimate in emotional instruments. That is, it's all about how you play, not what you play. I know this is really true for most instruments (sans the kazoo, and perhaps the slide whistle, although I am sure some kazooists a...

That is a beautiful guitar.

What tuning do you use on an 8-string?

Holy crap, you're not kidding!

That is a crazy amount of (what's the official term?) "stuff" under that thing.

Nice to hear.

I am happy I spent the extra money and went with the Stage One over the Carter.

I like the extra weight, and from what I hear the Carters tend to slide around a lot when played.

I've been very happy with my Stage One over the last 9 days or so.

Is that the same Ron Elliot from the Beau Brummels?

If this needs to be moved, let it be... So, I want to expand my pedal steel listening, and I need some more suggestions. I prefer stuff that is slow to mid-tempo, more laid back. I don't like that fast pickin' stuff, I am a mellow dude. Anyhow, here is some stuff I have in my playlist now: She - Emm...

I can also tell you this,,I really had little interest in classic country stuff when I started,,now its just about all I listen to. Your screwed my friend! I know... :D I keep teasing my wife that I'm gonna join a country band, and it would motivate me to practice more if she would leave and take o...

Nice!

I need stuff like this...

Thanks.

By the way, I am starting to get a grasp on the steel, and how the chords are clustered. I went ahead and folded up three of the knee levers - LKL, RKL and RKR - so I could focus more on the three pedals and the single knee lever. With these, I am able to play some nice chord progressions, and some ...

Hey Daniel; What type of Line 6 POD are you using? Isn't the Vox Pathfinder a small 8" open back speaker? Thanks Steve Sorry to hijack the thread. I'm using a Line 6 combo amp - a Flextone II. The heads of their combo amps are pretty much the same thing as the PODs, minus some of the functiona...
