The Steel Guitar Forum

If it's a tweed deluxe or tweed amp, have a look at lil' dawg amps. Roger

Please excuse my spelling. Some things do as well in small packages. Such as a iPad, however, typing on them is far from the best. The greats must be laughing at my previous post, but, to me they are the one's pushing the sound out, that most people enjoy. Paul likely has as many guitars as amps and...

Wished Paul Franklin or Reese or other greats that have pineered the making and sound that the instument provides would chime in. Really they have played more venues and have had more studio time than probably most of us have ever dreamed of.

Hi Peter, I have Logic Express. I does not have all the glory of Logic Pro but does seem to do the job well for me. Have a look at the turorials. Roger

Thanks everyone, mysteries seem to be coming unsolved. I once asked a question on the forum (inadvertantly in the wrong thread) about having to think when you are right involved in playing. Have you ever not had to think about what chord or note comes next because it just kinda happens. (Now if that...

I have been thinking about your picking arm position. That really is the same position as when your arm is wrapped around a bass or six string. I have to try that : ) Is your bar hand pinky placed so that when you decend it is the next logical place for that chord ? And you seem to have many differe...

Sorry three finger picks, LoL. Roger

Hi Zane thanks for clearing up the confusion on how many picks you use. From what I see, you dig your thumb pick in and to me it looks more like on a forward roll you pull. eg. index finger pulls middle finger forward and so on. Your sound is not thin because of this. And how do you manage to get th...

I watched the video and tried to pick out things that I could learn off of it. Your right hand position is interesting as I was under the assumption that a level playing arm is the proper position. I am having a problem with my picking fingers. If I use three picks, all works well. If I try four, so...

Thank you very much for your info Jaclyn. I have been trying to find out about the auto scroll and whether it just took pdf's. Thanks everyone, great info. Roger Haugejorden

Do you play better when you have to think about the next thing you are about to play ? Like gee whiz how do I play that next chord ? Or do you find yourself so involved in the moment that you don't have to think about what you are going to play ? Hope the question makes sense. Roger

Hi, I just have to post. I am very excited that my better half thinks that I can't miss this. So I am going in March. These will be my first face to face with a teacher let alone, one of the best in the business. Reese is such a congenial gentleman to talk to on the phone and my email questions to h...

If I would not have taken any lessons, I would not have known what I missed. Pedalsteel.com is offering online lessons, one on one, or the seminars. It's working for me, maybe it will work for you. Roger

Hi, I purchased a new U-12 in June and received the guitar in Oct. I too have a good understanding of music, I believe. I researched the forum for many months before I decided which one to buy. It is a big investment, especially if you have never had the luck to sit down and try any psg. Reese Ander...

Hi, I just received my new Williams U-12 on time. I have just started playing PSG. Thanks to Bill. Great job, Good service.

Walter your playing sounds great, and your website is well done. I for one will be using it as a resource. Its great info, Roger,

Thanks Walter, it will be fun ! Hi Rick, I placed the order on June 22 or there about. The color is red mahogany with the 600 changer. I originally ordered a sd10 but later decided on the uni. Bill makes a body for the sd10 that is not as big as a double, and has a pad. That was my first intention. ...

Hi, I am waiting for my Willy :D Bill told me today that the finish is finished. LOL The mechanism is next to install. Hope Jani will like my Willie to, its a universal. When I receive it I wil post pics. I have been admireing all the Willies and your Sunburst is a beauty. Have fun, enjoy :) Roger

I fully agree Scott, his techniques and universal course are great. Of course, The up from the top series is great to. My problem has been that I can watch and read the materials but if don't have your guitar yet well......I guess I will have to strum my six string till then. Mister Rudolf told me t...

Hi, I am also new to psg. I have been waiting for my guitar. While waiting I bought a few books to read. They are available here on the forum. The are: # I-200 Winnie Winston Pedal Steel Guitar. The other is, # MB-08 Anyone can play E9 pedal steel guitar. As per machanics of the guitar try looking a...

Hi, I have been playing bass for a number of years. I have a jazz bass ( 4 string mind you) that I have played since 69. I have never found another bass like it and believe me I have tried lots. I guess that, maybe over time, a person becomes one with the instrument you are playing, so the sound you...

Thank you all for the welcome! I live on the Sunshine Coast, Bob. Thanks for the music sites bent, I will be looking and listening a great deal. I will posts pics of the guitar if Bill sends me some as it is being built I will send them to. Thanks again, and keep pickin.

Nice to meet you Ron and Steve, Hi Bent, yes the name is from Norway however I have lost the language, and now I can only speak English and some music. I would like to hear some players from Norway can you tell me some names ? Where might one get some music from ? thanks Roger

Thanks Chuck, I have been watching the forum for a few weeks and what lead me to the Williams was the post, My New Willy, and the new changer ? It seems to be priced right. I choose the burgundy S10. I also asked for the wood neck, and was reassured that it would not be like a guitar where the neck ...
