The Steel Guitar Forum

How about that?

HAHAHA Good question. Just had a new couple buy the house next door to mine. Our old neighbors didnt mind one bit but I dont know about the new ones yet. Figure I'll know in a month or so. :^)

I live in Georgia. These folks grew up on steel. Can't get enough of it.

My neighbors are cows, I think the steel mooves them Larry

...my next door neighbor is a ways off, but he's a state trooper...every once in a while, he lets a round off in my direction...

My neighbor's a monastery! I'm serious!

But they all took a vow of silence, so...no complaints.

Gas station on one side about 300' away - the other ones are about 1 mile away.
Around back are Rabbits, Bear, and Deer........they haven`t complained yet

When I was getting started, I lived in a house between two apartment buildings, sometimes when I would practice, one of the apartments would throw their garbage over the fence into our yard.

I swear that one day I saw a few rabbit actually gather outside the window next to where I was playing my baby grand piano.

I think my steel playing has scared them off for good, though.

My closest neighbor has me about 1000 feet to the north and another steel player about 1000 feet to the west. He doesn't complain at all. I guess some of those "herbal remedies" really do work.

Most of my neighbors are chicanos. There's a Mexican band across the street. They all know that I play (I'm sure they hear me), but they never say anything about it. I guess it sounds like foreign music to their ears.

Up here in Sylmar,the properties are fairly large and it's a "live and let live" vibe.It is also largely Hispanic around here and on any given weekend evening,you can hear 2 or 3 live Mexican bands wafting through the hills.My nextdoor neighbors are a Hispanic couple in their early 50s - she plays drums and he plays bass.They're ALWAYS jamming out in their back courtyard with a variety of different bands and different styles from Norteno to Mariachi to Banda,etc.They even had a guy the other day that sounded kinda like a "rancho" Carlos Santana.When they're not jamming,their teenage kids are having parties w/DJs playing jackhammer trancedance and boom-boom truck rapcrap thru huge sound systems w/subwoofers at about 300db.
MY problem is trying to get THEM to hold it down so I can get some recording done in my backyard guesthouse studio.But Christ,what can I say....I've been known to make some racket my own self - and I don't want to be the first one to call the cops.In the other directions,my only neighbors are horses and THEY sure ain't gonna call the cops. -MJ-

My neighbours bang on the walls.

I just shout back "NO, I will not turn it up....if you want music buy yourselves a stereo"

To be honest, I use headphones at all times at home Bill in Vegas

When I sit on the front porch for a little quite acoustic pleasure this seems to attract all the neighborhood cats. Maybe some animals enjoy music as much as we do?

Animals and birds absolutely enjoy music. I have a cockateil that insists on singing along with the single notes and used to sit on my right hand until he dropped a 'bird bomb' in the changer.
