Hey folks,
I'm hoping to figure out some nice duets for Ukulele and steel. Any ideas for where I might find tablature?
Thanks-

Any of you New York City slickers have a suggestion for a good amp tech in the area? A friend in Manhattan needs his Deluxe Reverb gone over. Thanks-

Hey thanks for the responses guys. Looks like 2 votes for the contraband speaker. I think I'll give it a try if I can find one locally.

I need to replace the speaker in my silverface princeton reverb. In this case that would be a 12" speaker (which the baffle currently accommodates). This is primarily a guitar amp. I tend towa ...

Joe- I hear you. Ralph Mooney seemed to base a lot of his later solos on "Big Big Love". You can hear it all over the live Waylon double album.

It always surprises me when people draw a distinct line between classic country and country rock artists like Jerry Garcia, as though you have to be on one side or the other of some kind of generation ...

Hey Jim-
Great call on "Change Partners". That's one of those songs I used to love and just kind of forgot about years ago. I never realized that was JG on steel but listening now there i ...

MTV directors are certainly savvy enough about music to show soloists in action. They do it all the time in other genres of music. This would be another case of a music professional not having an un ...

About all I can offer is a seat/volume pedal/etc. but I'm happy to help if I can. Feel free to email me directly.

My first steel: an early Pro II. Even when I barely knew how to push the AB pedals, the tone on this guitar was awesome.

Yes. The West coast of Africa.

He's built a reputation for being enigmatic. I'd count this as another example.

It probably goes without saying for the die-hard Rusty fans, but his playing on "Kind Woman" was one of my first introductions to the instrument and a big influence. Still one of my all tim ...

Hey Chris- I saw you guys play a couple of years ago up here in California. At the time, I had no idea who you were and had gone out on a weeknight to see the band that opened for you. After they en ...

Congrats Henry- that is a beautiful guitar. I agree about keeping the original finish. It's even got the Emmons knee levers on it. I'd like to get a chance to hear it soon. Hope all is well-

I don't have it in front of me, but as I recall the Winnie Winston book has a photo of Pete playing what looks like a Fingertip with his name inlaid on the front. Was this an earlier guitar that got ...

watch how fast this one goes. great steel.

that's him on the Grateful Dead's "Pride of Cucamunga" off the Mars Hotel record. Some really nice playing there.

I happen to have been listening lately to both "Nashville Skyline" and "All Things Must Pass" and Pete Drake's great playing on both. Any idea what equipment he was using on these ...

Skip I had the same experience with my Webb. Use a flat head screwdriver and be gentle, the grill will pop off. The velcro and tight fit make it seem as though you're forcing it.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like it might be worth trying one with my steel (a ZB). If I do I'll post back with my thoughts.

Anyone have experience with this as a pedal steel amp? Seems like if it was set up properly you could have tube sound in a small package with more volume than a Deluxe Reverb could deliver (and a lot ...

This is like "The Caine Mutiny". The Captain goes on with his investigation, but its obvious the Big E ate the strawberries.

I believe Lloyd Green directed the bands when he played with Charlie Pride and Johnny Paycheck and probably many others.
