Played by none other than Miss Barbara Mandrell.
Now I am really depressed.
I mean, who can play that?

It would be interesting to see what the set up is, and tuning.

I guess the only way to out do Queen Barbra is to get a 5 neck!

tunings

Post by Bob Doran »

When i first learned the banjo, I tried to learn many of the different commonly used tunings.
They were all nice and each had its advantages, but it took way too much effort to constantly retune.

It was a happy day for me when I decided to play everything in G tuning only.

And what is the point of multiple tunings for a PSG anyway? I mean, one of the nicest things of all about a pedal, is that once you know it in one key, you know it in them all!

Evidently, when Barbara was growing up, Mom and Dad had plenty of money! :D Probably the only one who's had more guitars is Bobbe Seymour. :lol:

Back in 1960 I had a Wright Custom four neck eight string like Barbara's with eight pedals. It was a blast, but it's like playing on a card table. I used E7, C6, A6 and E13 tunings

Umm, when they were shooting the Barbara Mandrell movie, I took it for a "spin"
