I think Bruce Bouton said he was studying that lesson when he did the steel guitar part on Highway 40 Blues.

Tommy is right up there! I LOVE what he does on that last Doug Sahm record especially, not sure how to explain this. those stuttering runs usually going from 1 up to 4? I hope you can figure out what ...

That was fantastic thanks Chris

John, I believe he is sliding the bar back and forth as well as squeezing the volume pedal on and off. But I could be wrong.Giroy Hollister explains here: https://youtu.be/7m1xIaErpfE?si=TIaljI6sEQAXw ...

Unique ZB

Hi Max
A friend of my son took this shot and sent it to him who sent it on to me. I have a ZB myself and was very interested in yours. I have never seen one like it, looks great! I would love to get ...

A friend sent me this pic of a ZB, I have never seen the front panel like this one. Any thoughts?

Yes one of my favourites as well back in the day. I’ll change your flat tire Merle! Great stuff. Love love love the tshirt by the way, are they available?

I find myself sometimes not hitting the bottom when I depress my A pedal, ending in a flat note. the only thing that's changed is my age! I was thinking maybe I need to raise my pedals a smidge. What ...

Great stuff! I'm hearing Tom Brumley as well. This guy was obviously as good as any around at that time, this is the first I have heard of him.

There is another Australian pedal steel: Perina. I don’t know how many were made but the great Kenny Kitching played one until recently. Also someone in Perth was making an aluminium frying pan stee ...

Thankyou both.

They do a great job!

Thanks for the replys

We sometimes get a request for a Johny Cash song and I would love to have a go at Ring of fire and playing the trumpet part on steel guitar. Any suggestions on how to get a sound close to that part?

I use whatever chair is available, if there is none I will sit on my amp. Maybe that is why I’m suffering from sciatica now?

We saw them last night in Ballarat, great show.

hi Chris,, thanks for the reply.. Glad that very cool old guitar went to a good home where its appreciated.... You know what would be REALLY cool?... Pulling that old Fender out for a song or two with ...

Likely the best thing that’s easy to install, sounds close to a dobro (but still slightly lap steelish because it’s a surface mounted humbucker) is the made in Oregon Krivo Resophonic pickup.

Thanks for the replies, I think I may have to try a couple of different options. I want it to still sound like a .Dobro.
