The Steel Guitar Forum

Ouch! I paid $250 for mine without the footswitch. I like it, but I think I'll have to get tougher with the store I bought it from now on. Thanks for the reply.

I hope whoever can afford to buy it can use it for it's intended purpose.

I just bought one because my Tele sounds great through it. It's a 1980's unit. I have yet to plug my steel into it. Has anyone here ever used One? If so, what do you think of them as a PS amp?

Well, did he?

So that's him before all the hair and beard!

I wish I could have seen Bill Carlisle live. He seemed like an energetic entertainer and a rock star at heart.

Thanks, Mitch Drumm. I thought I could hear Chet Atkins on some of the the 50's stuff. I believe that Bill Carlisle had his son Bill Jr. play on other recordings. The rest would take a bit of research. It's a bit of a puzzle as to who played on what and when.

Lately, I've been on a Carlisles kick. I think the Carlisles (and Bill Carlisle} are probably one of the most under-rated and under-stated artists in C&W and Hillbilly music. I'm a bit confused as to exactly played guitar on their recordings during their career. Can someone here please clear tha...

Someone painted a tweed case black? That's WRONG!

All right! Nice to see all those pics. Lots of good stuff! Just to let you all know, I'm not asking for just #1 favorites. Post whatever else you have that you favor in your collection. Keep 'em coming!

I've played with 2 guitar players in my life that worked so well together, that we rarely had to talk to each other. We just knew where to play, and what to play. We hardly ever stepped on each other. Those guys are few and far between. It's like we shared one brain. On only a few occasions I've wo...

All other members feel free to participate. That's why I posted this.

I'll start with my steel instrumental albums to get the ball rolling: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7885_044_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7885_053_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7885_048_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7885_052_1.jp...

Check out these Youtube videos. Curly Chalker is playing the C6 neck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLn_PC740fU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR5SkLhwuEY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F_azIdWfWk All of those are on E9. He had E9 on his back neck and C6 on the front. I should've known better!...

I would like to know what anyone's most recommended instruction books would be. Thanks.

I do like Dixieland. I just need to listen to it more.

Point of order, Mr Derksen! In a Dixieland band, it's NOT everybody all at once, but it sounds like it to someone unfamiliar. Only three lead instruments are live on the same verse/chorus (slightly different rules at the head and tail). One cat has the melody, one plays a fill, and the third respon...

THat's why it's called an auction.
