The Steel Guitar Forum

I don't know how to post videos on the forum so forgive me. I know you all have seen the one with Jeanie Sealy and The Big "E" doing Mr. Record Man. My question is, Who is the steeler on the Sho-Bud in the background.

Does anyone know the story of how Ralph Mooney and Waylon Jennings got together? They sure made some good music.

Bump to the top for this one. Dale Watson, Ricky Davis, and a Sho-Bud. Hard to beat!!!!!

Something I have always wondered especially with the "Pros". Can you set down to your guitar "cold" and start cranking out the hot licks or do you have to warm up. I have to have at least 15-20 minutes of hard warm up or playing before I become halfway fluid with my playing.

Just watched my new Time Jumpers DVD.... Work overtime, miss next months car payment, or pick up beer cans along side the road, but get this DVD!!!These guys are perfect. I would say that John Hughey steels the show on every break he takes. Ranger Doug on Navajo Trail,,, I didn't think anyone could ...

Just ordered the book.... I saw Reece at the TSGA show playing his MSA superslide. This guy can get more out of a lap steel than I can get out of a D-10 with 8 pedals and 6 knees!!!!!!!

Do a You tube search for Shelby Lynn... Feeling Kind of Lonely Tonight. The audio is not all that great but the steel playing is something else. The steel player in the video is some long haired hippy looking dude playing a single neck Sho-Bud (Looks like) Anyone know who he is.... Anyone??? Anyone???

You're right Jim. Check You tube for the Wilburn Brother's song I'm Making Plans. I would post the link, but I don't know how. Curly makes a five beat slide up the neck of the old MSA without picking the strings and winds up down by the pickup. This is one of the smoothest E9th playing solos I've he...

Thanks Herby. I'm sure everyone on the Forum is in agreement with you. " Thu Shurriff" is the one and only Jimmy Capps. He's the one playing along with Curley Chalker on the Old Wilburn Brother's shows.

Heads up. Just watched the Time Jumpers on Larry's Country Diner on the RFD channel. They got some guy named "PAUL FRANKLIN" on thu steel. It is scheduled to rebroadcast at 3:00 AM in the morning so get your recorders set. (Just one thing.... I don't see how that girl can set there and stu...

Doug sure smokes it on this one. This is what C6th is suppose to sound like. Especially at 2:39. Sounds like a Joaquin Murphyish type of lick.

I just watched Presley's Country Jubilee on RFD for the first time. This is a great show!!!!! Anyone know who the steeler was on the Mullen guitar. This guy is good!!!!

Thanks Gene for the info. As with Kevin's Pro III, mine was listed as blue but has faded to green. With the nine on the floor, Seven knees, and having been returned to the factory for a rebuild after only two years It kinda makes me wonder who the original owner was. The pearl inlay really looks nic...

Gene, I have a green Pro III custom with 8 pedals and six knees, #8959. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey Mickey. Keep up the good work. Have you ever considered doing some C6th stuff on the tube. I am a pilot also. I fly an experimental I built out of F46.

Thanks for all the help guys. You have really cleared up a lot of my confusion. I am studying a C6th course and this will be a great benefit, especially about a C7th and a C Maj 7 being two entirely different chords. Thanks again.

Trying to learn a little music theory and I have a question. Using the C Major scale as an example ( C,D,E,F,G,A,B, and C )with "C" being the root, "A" being the sixth note and "B" being the seventh, what is meant by the term ninth and thirteenth. Are these octaves of &...

Dick, I have had this problem too. I usually just go back and pencil in what is missing.

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!! You are right Bernie. Any new guy wanting to learn should be grateful for the forum and all the information available now that so many of use did not have. When I first started playing I could not get a "smooth" sound. There was a steel player, I believe his...

Bill,
Haven't done any geneaoligisting.

Taught myself how to play on a Fender 400 back in the early 70's. Wound up with a Sho-Bud Pro III Custom which I still have. I haven't played in about 15 years. Found The Forum, Youtube, and The RFD channel which peaked my interest in playing again. I drug the ole Bud out of the closet, restrung in,...
