The Steel Guitar Forum

I hardly ever get on the Steel Guitar Forum. I need to more often. It's been a while since you posted this pic and I just recently rediscovered this post

Thanks for posting this. I'd like to have this jigsaw puzzle for my own collection

This would be a great local event for enthusiasts. I always love to see other peoples' talent and learn. Fred has a wealth of knowledge and has always been helpful in offering tips and advice.

Steelmongers,

I was really disappointed when I heard the jam was this Saturday, as I knew I wouldn't be able to attend. Sounds like it was a really good time. Hope to catch the next one!

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought I heard them announce on the local radio station (Q104.3 Kansas City) that you could only get in the door by listening to their station to win tickets. Anyway, yes there is a local band here called Travis Marvin & Hammer Down opening for Lee Ann Womack. The openi...

Maybe we should give them a stimulus package! Ha!

I've never met Danny, but I've heard good things about his steel playing. He used to sit in (fairly regularly I think) with the Jackson Junction band of Southern Illinois when I was there (1999-2002).

Besides of course my >>>S12 Mullen G2<<< Revelation Preamp TC Electronics Processor A good Power Conditioner BJS Bars (of Course!) TC Furlong Split Cabs (2) I've played through Mickey's setup, except it was his Mullen D-10 G2 that he had for sale at the TX show last March. It's a state-of-the-art s...

I have also played this steel at Roger's house. It's a great feeling guitar, superb sound, and Roger is very particular about taking good care of his things. This guitar has been taken good care of.

I saw someone mentioned the site was down. I checked and it seems like the site is still up, but I decided to post the images anyway (don't know why I didn't do this the first time). Here's the tab for the fills: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0903/8451_Fills_1_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforu...

I may not get to this this weekend after all. It's been a busy weekend at my house...

I'll try to tab it out for you. It's another fun one to play. Do you know what key it's in? If so, I might be able to tab it out in my head while I'm sittin here at work.

Thanks! I browsed through that topic and picked up a few more good tips. I agree with one of the posts in that topic that when you screw up a chime live it's brutal. A few weeks ago I was chiming live and hit the first 2 or 3 chime notes in a row and then on the next chime I missed my "touch&qu...

Yes these videos are very helpful. I haven't had a chance to browse through many of Joe's yet. Seems like more and more people are doing this and it has helped us a lot. If you haven't seen any of Mickey Adams' videos be sure to check those out as well.

I'll test this technique out this evening. This seems like it would be easier, since one of my main complaints about the technique I'm using and have seen others use is that you can't see exactly what fret your touch point is on as it's being covered by your pick hand.

Octave touch point w/ thumb pick,third finger picks ; Clint,I didn´t get Your take on it,as I git it,You´d be picking the "west" side of the string length,but I might have gotten it the wrong way around,nothing new there...McUtsi So you're technique is to pick on the "East" side...

This is probably a difficult question to answer since everyone has their own technique, but I'm trying to practice chiming and haven't been able to hit the chime reliably or make it sound as clean as I'd like. I'm curious what techniques you all use and if anyone has any tips. The way I'm doing it i...

Paul- That is correct. Add in the remaining minor 3rd (of a dim 7 chord), put it over the roots you've mentioned, and it's a 7b9 chord. If you step back and listen to just about any diminished chord, in its context within a song, you'll find it's a disguised 7th chord. That greatly simplifies playi...

I have tabbed out the lead break and most of the fill work for this song as I play it. I try to get it as close to the record as possible, but as everyone knows it can be difficult. Just think to yourself "WWPFD" - LOL! Clint Lead Break: http://geocities.com/off_road98/Dont_Rock_the_Jukebo...

Here is Mike's profile page. Maybe send him a PM or try his e-mail link through the forum.

Thanks for the info Paul! Always great to hear from you! Joe, in your youtube video, you end the run on the 6th fret with a 4-5-6 grouping and your #4 string raised a half tone. Isn't this a diminished? Maybe I should start a new thread for this discussion, but up to now I thought the only combo tha...

Jack, I also would greatly appreciate the tab when/if you get permission from Mike. That would be great! Joe, I left you a message on youtube, but I'll say it here too... Great job figuring out that intro! I haven't gotten to work on it yet, but it sounded very very close on your youtube vid. Just u...

I wouldn't mind having a copy for reference also. PM sent. Thanks.

Just found this:

I cited Mike Daily out of the booklet that came with the George Strait Boxed Set, which is the version of "Gone as a Girl Can Get" that I'm working on and the only version that I know of (same version that had so much air play back in the day).

So, I looked in the album cover and it's Mike Daily playing steel. Don't think I've heard of him before, but anyway... I worked on it a little tonight and it sounds like the first three beats he's walking it up from the 1st fret, no pedals on strings 5 & 6. After that I'm lost until he lands on ...
