I like this. It's something different. I've been experimenting with different effects, distortion, etc. Pedal steel truly is a limitless instrument.

My girlfriend goes to the liquor cabinet when I sit down at my steel. I've never gotten a "Sounds nice" comment. Your wife have a sister? LOL Only kidding. Good luck in your playing!

Awesome looking guitar! I hope to have one that looks like that one day. I bought my first steel from Billy. He even fixed it for free one time after I tried to change the copedent and got it all mess ...

Glad to hear you are still enjoying yourself and hungry to learn more Niels. I've been playing for about 12 months. Just when I feel like I know what I'm doing, I discover something new and it starts ...

You mentioned Ernie Ball....I've been playing about a year now and I've only used an Ernie Ball volume pedal. This has worked good for me. If you have limited choices, the Ernie Ball is fine and won't ...

Thanks for sharing this Andy!!

Thank you William! I will see if I can get in touch with Bill.

Been playing for a little while now (8 months) and feel like a lesson would do me some good. Just looking for some new ideas and also someone to talk steel with. Maybe show me some intros to some of t ...

I'm a new player and went through the same process you are going through about 3 months ago. I own a Derby D-10 which I love, but wanted a SD-10 to lug around to band practice and jam sessions. I trie ...

Jerry,

I have personally used all of those amps you listed above. One of my band members owns a Fender Frontman 211 that he offered to let me use. You can play with the EQ all you want on that amp ...

Use Monster cables for all my stuff. They are the best in my opinion. Expensive, but come with lifetime warranty.

I think even Mr. Bonamassa would watch this and say: Wow!

Great playing. My first love was the blues. I hope to be able to rip out some stuff like that one day. Inspiring for sure.

I thank God everyday for this forum.... Mr. Green

Donny: Sound advice! I get those looks all the time, but with hours of practice, I've noticed they don't come my way as often.

Lane: As always, you provide great insight.

Larry: Good points.

Yea, sometimes I have to split the neck up and I feel like it prevents me from making things sounds right. For instance, we do Together Again in A major. I'm playing the break up really high starting ...

The band I'm currently playing in does classic country, but we rarely play anything in the same key with the recorded versions. I've noticed we play most things a step and a half down from the recorde ...

As a younger player, I think we have more choices and access today and that's good and bad. Someone mentioned earlier that the younger generation wouldn't miss a smoothie to see their favorite player. ...

I just want to publicly thank Dick Sexton. I have learned a lot from him and he has been eager to help me. It's guys like him that make this forum the best in the world.

Does anybody have this one tabbed out? Doesn't matter which version. Just looking for ideas...

Thank you

Hey Joe...thanks for the reply, but I have it figured out now. Not exactly note for note with Paul, but enough to fill the song out. Thanks!

I was hoping maybe someone could help me with out with this song. I have some nice fills and things going on that I like, but I can't seem to slide up to the chorus in a way that I want. Any ideas?

I should have known... He's an amazing player. The things he does really fit the songs. Maybe this is a start to steel coming back around...
