Great lookng guitar, Dan! Should sell quickly. Chris

Good point, Walter, In fact The Guys have offered to help me set the stuff up. Again, they use MobileSheets.

Thanks for your ideas, everybody! Chris

Sorry if this topic has come up before--or if it's in the wrong place.

Great photos and info, Doug!

Jeffery, many of us roll off the mid range on our amps. Peavey has 2 knobs for this. One specifies the frequency; the other cuts or boosts in that frequency range.

What John just said. Even a Peavey Bandit with mid-range tweaked . . . and there are lots of those around.

That's a lot of gear for the price! And what a pretty guitar.

What kind of finger picks are you using? Thumb pick?

Yes, buy a bar. Dunlop makes'em: 40 bucks from Sweetwater This is essential--a chunk of broomstick won't do.

Gerald, it sounds like you could use about a dozen real, actual, in-person lessons to get off the ground--and nip bad habits in the bud.

Is there a teacher near you?

Hey Paul.

Question #1 from a commenter might be, "What's your budget?"

What is your budget?

The GFI for quality, stability--and 12 strings!

I recorded at his home studio in LA in the 60s. I remember that he had an original Moog synthesizer.

$1500? Great deal!

What does the 4th pedal do, Johnny?

Frank, since you have "extra" pedals for an extended E9, I recommend a "Zero-pedal" which flats the G#s to the left of the ABC pedals

This will give minor chords in "no-ped ...

Nick, we play easy tunes like Way to Survive, Tennessee Waltz, where everyone gets a chance to play a chorus or two.

Ron, hope to see you there and yes, guests are encouraged!

Gil said: I'll never complain about changing strings again.

Chris says: I'll never complain about the prices of pedal steels again.

I picked up on Area Code 615 in the 70s when I was trying to learn steel. (I am still trying to learn steel.) Weldon had scary chops, balanced by great taste!

Lovely, John. Look at that wood!

Very nice, David. And thanks, Pete!

Chris

Photos are fine. And it's great to see younger players--and female pickers!

Thanks for posting this, Peter. I'll be there, and I hope other area steelers will come too. It's a lot of fun--and the actual official meeting is brief!

I keep a Moyo in my suitcase as a spare in case my Hilton pedal goes out. (Hasn't yet!)

Pretty, Doug. Good, solid guitars (I play a '99).

Yes, Dan, I love the Rotosphere too. But even used they are well north of $400!
