I bought the Missing Link course a while back and can't find the CD with the playing examples anywhere. I also can't find any info online for any of Reece's courses. Does anyone have any contact info or mp3s they can send me? I wouldn't want to ask anything unethical of course, but I wouldn't think ...

Sent you a PM. I’d like to buy it

Looking for an old cable Fender PSG, hopefully in the $550-$600 range.

I agree. I'd also love to hear your take on La Vie En Rose...unless you did it already

That made my day, Bill. It's like a musical hug. Will you please write a book?

I just bought it tonight for $100, so I won't find out for another week or so. I'll do a follow up post once I get ahold of her.

Thanks for the reply, by the way!

Ooooh. I've heard that company's products can be a little hit and miss.

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this little guy I found on ebay.



I've been wanting an 8-string and this one had a nice price, so I bought it. Any insight would be appreciated!

There's a link on the Mel Bay website here: http://www.melbay.com/download.asp?ProductID=93714

The "Download Extras" button is a zip file with mp3s of all the tracks from the CD.

the neck farthest from me is the E9 neck the one closest to me is C6th neck. The back neck refers to the neck closest to you. The front of the guitar is considered to be the side with the logo that the audience sees. Your manual is probably using "top" and "bottom" in the same s...

Maurice Anderson has a book/cd called "The Missing Link" that teaches you how to find all the major, minor and dominant chord positions using 3 pedals and 2 knee levers. It has exercises using common as well as less common chord progressions and has 5 popular country standards at the end. ...

They sound phenomenal on the old Fender 1000 and 400 pedal steels. I don't see why there would be a problem using them for non-pedal steel.

b0b made a nice recording on both necks of his Fender 1000 here:

I think innate talent is a very small factor in becoming a good improvisor. Talent is at best 10% of what made Charlie Parker, B.B. King and Buddy Emmons great at improvising. It was hard work and thousands of hours of practice that got them there. If any of us put in the time those guys did constan...

Is it generally because people prefer the sound of the plain strings or is it mostly for mechanical reasons?

You're probably going to want to raise your 6th string G# along with your 3rd string G# on pedal 5. Also, b0b has a great 8 string C6 copedent here (the bottom tuning): http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0912/7711_b0bF1000_1.jpg I have that C6 setup on my Fender 1000 and I've found the F on the b...

The person who wrote out the chords made a mistake. It should be just B minor, or the vi chord in whatever key you're in.

I think Bill and Adam are just are referring to the front neck in a different way than you are, David. Mooney plays E9 on the neck closest to him, which is the front neck to him, I suppose, but the rear neck to the audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1vdpqdFRqc&feature=related http://www.y...

Karen, you wouldn't happen to be related to Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian, would you? I understand his family hails from Massachusetts. Either way, congratulations!

Is this what you're looking for, Bob (Muller)?

Wow, posted at the exact same time. I shall yield to the gentleman from Ontario.

Min7b5 or Dom7b5 without the 3rds perhaps?

still not sure about the pad on the double frame... never had any experience with it- does it give you a little more stability and accuracy, because of having an anchoring point? or is it just a comfort issue? Since he's been playing the Fender 1000, does he feel more comfortable playing E9 on the ...

I would have hopped on my wife's PC to check it out, but I try to avoid encouraging people who inexplicably cop an unprovoked attitude. How bizarre.

I'll take it!
