Does anyone tune their steels using a tuning fork?

Thanks a lot guys, I was thinking the power supply. I'll try a new one tomorrow!

I was wondering if someone may have any suggestions for me for Hilton volume pedal troubleshooting. Upon trying the pedal in quiet conditions the other day I noticed there's a barely audible distorte ...

CBC's Espace musique has a great jazz program that airs every weeknight. They play lots of great jazz, old and new. Unfortunately steel guitar isn't a regular sound on there so I was pleasantly surp ...

Just received an email notification today from Amazon that the new Time Jumpers cd is available now for pre-order; to be released Sept. 11. Should be a good one!

I missed the show but it looks like there are some clips on CMT.com. I tried watching but it says it's not available in my region..not sure if that's because I'm outside the US or what but hopefully ...

Oh sorry Brint, missed your post there somehow. But yeah, I agree.

Thanks for the link Andy, can never have enough Ed Bickert stuff!

Not knocking anyone's method at all..if it works for a person then cool, it's serves the purpose. I find using the relative major as the I works for me. What one may get confused on if, say Am is ju ...

Congratulations Ed..well deserved! Great swing playing with the Authority. Got a chance to see you this year at the Cavendish Beach Music Fest. Hopefully catch you out East again before too long...

I don't mean to go off topic of the thread here but just wanted to say that Ronald's book is an amazing look into Lenny Breau's style. Highly recommended for anyone looking to play and understand thi ...

I found this video that was recently posted on YouTube. Lenny is describing a cool idea for playing using the harmonic technique he was famous for. It's a neat concept and has the potential for some ...

I was probably just going to go for a clean and re-lube without disassembling this time. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

I know there have been lots of discussions about lubrication of the steel on the Forum. Any suggestions on a good cleaner/degreaser product for cleaning the steel before lubing it up again?

That's some really great sounding stuff there! I've heard these clips on Youtube for a while now and have been watching out for the album since. Hopefully it's out soon. It sounds really cool and n ...

A big thanks for those posting all of the amazing Time Jumpers' clips on Youtube. Some of the finest music in the world no doubt! Here's a couple new tunes I just found...

David, thanks for the recent threads on the Reece clips. There's not enough of these great clips out there. Gotta love the playing!

Going through airport security is always interesting with a pedal steel. I must look sketchy because regardless of what I have with me I always get hauled to the back room to search all my bags. The ...

Thanks for all the posts folks. They've been very helpful...

Other than the scale theories, making it more consonant with the Lydian being thought as as the Ionian, what about the whole aspect of Tonal Gravity mentioned in the Concept? Surely this, outlining m ...

Thanks guys...by the sounds of it, the concept seems essentially just another way to look at what's learned in any other legitimate method of jazz learning. David, that's interesting..although I've l ...

In a search of the old forum for the concept, I came across some very interesting and informative posts. I can see the great potential that tonal gravity would lend to modal tunes. I can also see ho ...

For some time now I have been reading about George Russell's Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization. I have been quite intrigued from what I've learned about the concept and am contemplating ...

Great stuff! What an awesome player he is. Thanks for the clip Donna!
