If you're not using the CF at all, there is a pin where the arm in the picture connects to the changer on the top of the guitar, you can drive the pin out and the arm can be removed. For some reason, ...

Hello, I'm attempting to add a 5th string lower to my Emmons Legrande III. The problem I'm running into is the part of the counterforce mechanism on the changer is preventing the 5th string lower from ...

Thanks for sharing Ron! Since I posted this I think I've gotten near the ballpark too and decided to post what I've been playing. What's cool to see is how we've been getting the same licks on differe ...

I'm very specifically trying to find tab for the fills John Hughey played on the Vince Gill recording.

I've seen the intro and solo available in many places, most notably johnhughey.com. I also se ...

Hilton pedal arrived in excellent condition! Loving it, thanks Richard!

Interested in the Hilton, PM sent!

I've been playing with my friend Hunter Blalock for about a year now and I thought I'd share some cool video we got a few months ago with y'all. This song is called Wake Up In Tears, give it a listen ...

I went looking for a tab for this a few days ago, and since I couldn't find one I thought I'd try and learn it and tab it out myself. This is the first time I've ever tried to write a tab out and I ma ...

I'm glad I'm not alone there, the more i thought about it, Em to C happens in a lot of songs i know, and never feels abrupt to me. Something about playing the change on the steel is awkward for me, th ...

Thank you, Lane, the 6 string lowering move is exactly the kinda thing I was looking for!

And I'll keep that in mind, Ian. The songs I was thinking about don't feel that abrupt in the changes, but ...

I seem to have a hard time transitioning between the two. Generally it's Em to C (in G) that I run across. I hope I got the numbers right, I'm still a little new to those Laughing

I'm with you, I've tried earplugs a few times and those things drive me crazy. That got me thinking, though, I wonder how it would be if i had an earplug in my left ear, towards the band, and had my r ...

I'm also lucky enough to play in a band with musicians who have been playing long enough(myself excluded) to have what I believe to be good volume discipline Smile

That's interesting, when I'm playing guitar I can't stand for the amp to be off the floor, but with steel I prefer it off the floor (so far, I haven't done a lot of experimenting). I don't worry too m ...

It is a very loud band Smile

Title says it all. I have a Nashville 400 and I generally keep it a couple of arm lengths behind me, stacked on another amp. That's been working well but the last few show I played I had a lot of trou ...

Wow, I wasn't aware of this, thanks to you for posting and to Mick for sharing!

I'm a fairly new pedal steel player myself, and very often find myself just as frustrated. Something I've recently started doing is when I get to the point where I'm ready to convert the instrument in ...

I got to watchin' a bunch of Desperado steel covers on YouTube, and they were all excellent, but I couldn't find anyone doing the intro! That got me thinking, which eventually led to tinkering, and I ...

I'm glad you revived this, because I might not have ever seen it if you didn't, and what a video! I've always loved this song, I never thought I'd hear it on steel!

I'm surprised no one has mentio ...

I noticed someone posted a tab from this great record, so I thought I'd try and tab out a solo I've been trying to learn from it. This has turned into one of those records I can't stop listening to, a ...

Wow, very cool! I got this album very recently and I absolutely love it. Whole Damn Town is probably my favorite song, but I think Down On Washington has my favorite steel part! Great tab!

Wow, I love this song, and this is fantastic! It also looks like a kneefull. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to part 2!

Thank y'all for the advice and words of encouragement! I've removed the changer and all the rods without any problem. There was enough dirt on the changer fingers to grow a potato! I actually scrubbed ...

Wow, thank you guys for all the input! And the hilarious video Smile
