I received a Slyde-car, chart holder and set of pedal brackets from Dale last week. The quality is excellent.
Dale took a great deal of his time to make sure I got what I needed. Shipping was fast and well packaged.
If you have not considered any of Dale's Bessdang Gizmos you should give them a look.
Also with a little extra grip on the chart holder it holds my iPad with all my set list and charts. I used it at a three hour practice and it didn't budge all night.
A big thank you to Dale for such great products. |

| I've been using Deep Dish's Gig Book for my IPad to hold the songs. What are you using? |

| My wife just surprised me with an early Christmas gift: a custom Slyde-car style tray to hold picks, bar, and my Orange Micro Crush that I use for rehearsals and library gigs! Fantastic quality, and it fits the butchered Fender 500 perfectly! My wife also tells me that Dale went above and beyond to make exactly what I needed, and couldn't have been friendlier. Top-notch; I definitely recommend these products. |

I have all my charts saved as
individual PDF files. When I want to organize them into set list I create a new PDF with the PDF's in a specific order into set list. I can creat custom table of contents and bookmarks to go to specific songs or play through them in order.
I use Goodreader as my PDF viewer. |

JIm, that's interesting...I wonder how it would work to transfer a binder full of lyric/chords done old school style. Can it be set up to slowly scroll as the song progresses?

| The songs need to be in .pdf format and you can scroll through them by either swiping each page with your finger or purchasing a footswitch to tap to advance the pages or songs. They can be sorted and saved into sets, modify tempo displayed or audible, etc. All in all a pretty good program (especially for me as CRS has me at a loss for remembering words). Modifications to the .pdf have to be made on the computer then dropped into the IPad. . |

Thanks Jim, too bad there's not an app for CRS

| I would like to see a picture of the iPad holder! I'm also switching to the iPad for charts and set lists. I used the Adobe reader for my rehearsal yesterday but will look into the readers you guys mentioned. Just spent the day writing out .pdf lead sheets for my next gig... |

A friend of mine uses that setup, an iPad with his charts and lyrics attached to his microphone stand, and a bluetooth wireless pedal to switch pages... but he plays bass and sings. Do steelers really need more pedals?  |

I have a switch that will take me to my Facebook app and also a separate switch (located on a right vertical knee lever) that will take me to my Twitter app. I love it. Would recommend to all.
