I tried to widen the gap in the plastic ring. Maybe I didn't do it enough, but that didn't help.

I was trying to adjust the length of my steel's legs and the clutch (or collar or whatever the proper term is) just wont grip at all. I've taken it apart to see what's going on, but except for the clu ...

Bob,

I'm a 4-year player working on some PSG slants. When you slant forward (low strings at a higher fret than high strings), do you place your left elbow way out to the left? And do you change how you hol ...

Yes, indeed. I would love to do that (especially the RKR), too, and from what I've been able to learn, it would be a major project. I'm hoping one of our forumites can find a solution!

All very interesting. So far, I'm using half stops on my A pedal and my RKR pedal (and rarely a vertical pedal). I'm curious to see what you all come up with.

Thanks, Bob Hoffnar! That was really an eye-opener to this noobie C6 player.

10 string. And are you thinking of making a C6 pedal steel without the E9 neck? Has that ever been done?

I'm going to be traveling to Houston for a couple of days in late January, and I wondered if anyone can recommend a bar, concert venue, club, or honky-tonk that features country music (preferably the ...

John, thanks for leading us to this lovely video. I posted a comment and would be happy to get your tab of it.

Two albums of Steagall's on a single CD are available on Ebay or Amazon. It's KOCH records KOC-CD-8074, entitled LONE STAR BEER AND BOB WILLS MUSIC/FOR ALL OUR COWBOY FRIENDS. James Wood is credited w ...

I'll be attending your Algonquin Arts show. I really like your show--this will be my second time seeing it.

The link for 3M vinyl wrap that Flip Brown posted didn't work for me. Here's what I found:

Lots of nice color choices!

After playing for 2 years, I still have trouble hitting the fret on the nose when I move the bar down, say from the 12th to the 7th fret. The problem is that my left hand hides the frets. Is there a t ...

I'm 98% sure that I paid no import duty. My guitar was shipped right to my door for cost plus shipping.

Yes, a really interesting interview. And a little trivia: the t-shirt Russ is wearing is from a music store on 28th and Hennepin in Minneapolis called Knut Koupe.

Dennis,
If you have DeWitt Scott's instruction book, you'll find a short exercise called "Bossa-Nova Beat" on p. 170. It sounds like "Ipanema" to me. It may not be exactly what yo ...

I'll be there! Looking forward to seeing you.

Thanks! I haven't seen the other gigs advertised yet and I'll try to get to some.
