The Steel Guitar Forum

Bump!

Tony, do I need to register to attend? I don't plan on playin'... but I plan on bringin' a box of my new ceramic tone bars for folks to sample, and I'd love to meet some of the players I've emailed!

Jay, there's no charge. Just register below and show up! You're fellow band-mate Motz will be there too.

Look forward to trying one of your ceramic bars.

...and don't forget to bring lots of business cards, jay!

Alright I'm in! Really looking forward to it - the last couple have been super fun.

hope to make this one, gotta see how things pan out

anyone else who is flying in and needs extra gear to play please let me know via personal email and I will do what I can to provide.

Also, if anyone has anything for sale, bring it and put a sign on it. Many items have been sold this way, although it may be after the jam that people hook up and work out the details.

I've been looking at putting a rack unit together, but prices will pretty much limit me to using a combo... So if any of you know of a Nashville 400 or comparable amp that might be for sale around these parts, please let me know! I'll see you folks there on the 18th. I have an issue with my B pedal not always returning true, which stems from a noob mistake putting the guitar back in the case with the tuning peg still on the 6th string finger dealio.... Oops!

Lynn, if you could bring an aluminum knee lever BRACKET(E raise) I will pay you in whole or part trade with a spare knee lever I have.

Lookin' forward to it!

Mike call Dave Kellog about an amp. 503-490-8236

I thinks this set list/charts idea is brilliant. Thanks!!!

Will there be a group photo taken?

One would certainly hope so, Stu....

Bump........we gotta a boatload of steel players already coming.......sign up below, if you planning to attend.

Everyone is invited, the sign up is just giving us an idea of what to expect in the number of players wanting to play. We have packed players 3 deep before and we can do it again.

Come early, we start play at 1:00 sharp.

Check the link above for the songs and chord charts, it may help you in preparing to attempt to blow Tony's skirt up. He is an animal so you better do your homework.

Do not forget about the mechanics workshop around 11:00, maybe we can identify some issues you may be having with your guitar, and maybe we can help you with small adjustments. Adding knee lever kits or pickup replacement will have to be done between songs in the back of my van.

BUMP!
anyone bringin a Universal who could spare 5 minutes to show me your guitar? I'm interested in em and have never seen one.

Group shot is a great idea. Heres a photo from a previous jam. Killer shot of the back of Dave H's head and looks like Larry is up to bat in this one.
My photography skills rival my steel playing skills.

Note my picking technique on that shot of Wild Turkey. Drop by The Hen tonight Ben and I'll show you that one.

I got that grip down Dave, its the morning after turnaround that i need work on. I was thinking about coming by tonight if i can manage to stay up past 8 o'clock so you might see me there stalking you and Dan.

Mechanics workshop update:

I signed up with evite and commented on 2 issues that I have since resolved (I believe), but it would be great if someone could go over my work. Also I still have questions regarding setting up and improving my action/throw and some changes that I'm not sure about on the knee levers.

My first issue was the missing knee lever bracket on my E>F. Huge thanks to Lynn Stafford for helping me out the day of my first gig! Got home and it took me all of 5 minutes to install.

2nd issue was related to a tuning issue stemming from putting my guitar back in the case with the tuner peg still on the 6th string, b pedal... Oops!
Ever since then it was always hit and miss, when and how it would go out of tune, sometimes sharp, other times flat.

I took it apart last week and it was totally bent up!




I bent it back as straight as I could and re-installed. Also lubed up some parts with my triflow bottle and everything seems to be ok for now!

So I guess for the mechanics workshop I would just like someone to go over the undercarriage and explain things to me since I've never really had a pro's eye go over it with me.

Thanks!
First gig at the Clinton Street Cafe last Saturday! No that's not my beer on the guitar case... It's the guitarists!

That's OK Michael, we all know that YOU would never put a beer on your guitar case

Naw man, I got my whiskey on my pickin' side...

Could someone give us brand new guys (to the event) an idea of the format for jam event.

Kurt

I'm coming and I am bringing my new Williams U12 for you all to check out.

Kurt on page 1 of this thread post #3 Lynn posted a link to the songs with number charts ,that will be a big help...Having said that I'll probably forget to bring mine and wing it!

The format is fairly simple.

We play the songs on the set list in that order. Everyone with a guitar gets a ride on either the verse or chorus (sometimes both) until all of had a chance. Then....on to the next tune.

If you're uncomfortable or unfamiliar you can pass. Just let the next guy know so he or she can jump in.


Don't forget to check out the link (in this thread) for all the chord charts and set list.
