That’s a great picture Shoshanah, it gives us a glimpse of what it was like behind the scenes of the Steel Guitar Forum. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I’ve been using a Fender Deluxe TM for pedal steel for almost a year now and I love it! I have yet to be in a situation where it wasn’t powerful enough and the line out on it is exceptional! If yo ...

That’s a beautiful pedal steel Bill! It will be interesting to hear about your progress on the D13 tuning.

Welcome to the Steel Forum Melody. I’m in Central Illinois, but there are quite a few steel players in Southern Il. and there is a great steel show in Mt Vernon Il. In mid April every year. You will ...

I’m sorry to hear this sad news about Chas. The creativity and innovation that he displayed in any and all of his endeavors was incredible. The steel guitar community was fortunate to have him as a ...

A good friend of mine and fellow bandmate is going to be in Hawaaii this week. They are visiting Maui and Kaua’i too, but I don’t know their itinerary. I was hoping someone might know where they c ...

I have a GK MB 200 Combo and I am wanting to know if anyone has ever tried one with the new “Sesh” pre-amp pedal that TC Furlong is making?

Nice playing Rich!

Al, thanks for everything you have done for the pedal steel guitar community throughout the years. Best wishes to you on all of your future endeavors.

Mark, Ireal Pro is a useful app that has backing tracks to a lot of Jazz standards and lot's of other styles too. It doesn't sound as good as Band in a Box but a lot of the tracks you find on it sound ...

If you have Ireal Pro, it's on an Ireal Pro playlist called Western Swing 5. It's been awhile since I acquired it and I might have found it on the Ireal Forum using the search engine, if it's not a p ...

Thanks for posting this Andy. I don't use slants very often but I've been wanting to get into them more lately and this post is inspirational. I used one today on a Dobro gig and I've been wanting to ...

Larry, I haven't played a six string guitar through the TM Deluxe yet but I have played guitar through the TM Twin and I liked it a lot and thought it sounded really close to a tube Twin Reverb. Havin ...

Larry, I don't recall having it up past 5 or 6 but it was very clean at that volume. It seems to have plenty of headroom and it sounded great at an outdoor county fair gig we played at where everythin ...

I just picked up a Tone Master Deluxe and I like it a lot. It's 6 lbs lighter than the TM Twin which was a big selling point for me. I played an outdoor gig at a county fair where we were all mic'd up ...

That's a beautiful steel guitar Roger! Good luck making the transition from a D10 to the SD12 D13 tuning!

I have a Tone City Bad Horse and I like it a lot. It's the only overdrive/distortion pedal that I'll play 3ds with. They are built like a tank, so it surprises me that it died on you. Steel Forum memb ...

I noticed how Buddy would sit up straight with really good posture when he played and found that when I did the same thing I played better. I'm sure quite a few of the licks I use all of the time orig ...

I started transporting the body of my D10 in a Keyboard gigbag and I've been putting the pedal rack and leg bag with the pedal rods in a 3/4 size guitar gigbag. Although it's still a little heavy, it' ...

Michael, I am sorry to hear the sad news about the passing of your mother Mary and your sister Sandra. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose both of them in such a short amount of time. I have l ...

Paul, I'm sorry to hear the sad news about the passing of your brother Dennis. You and all of your family have my deepest condolences.

If you go with raising both strings 1 and 7 a whole step, see if they can put a half stop on them so you can get a Dom7 chord in the AB pedal down position. It'll double the usefulness of that change. ...

Congratulations Johnny, that sounds like a good fit for you and a good opportunity to dig into the D13 tuning you have developed. Keep on pushin' the envelope!

Bob, I agree with Dave, the 12 changes he mentioned would be what I would consider the must have C6 changes. If you could put that setup on the C neck and then some sort of basic 8/4 or even better 8/ ...

Jon, I suspect that you are right. Your description of the one you have pretty much describes the one I mentioned. The one I have is basically a one trick pony but it does a good job on the auto wah s ...
