I'm in a newish country band. Many times I sustain chords with lots of distortion or overdrive (I have a Seymour Duncan Twin Tube). For fills I do a lot of slide guitar riffs. I spend a lot of time in ...

I'll take it.

Hey Steven, I'll take the bar. PM me.

Best wishes for you, your dad and family.

I've used one and did not care for it. I have an older American made one and had it serviced, retubed, and a Weber California put in. It's great for guitar now, but my GFI Ultra just doesn't get along ...

Choose a style and stick with it. That way you'll be able to play the thing. Try another style but be aware it will be different and therefore difficult, like starting from scratch. You can wait years ...

It sounds like you've been pick blocking and then tried palm blocking, the technique Jeff Newman taught so well. I think players use one style or another, not both. Both are skills that take years to ...

My Nashville 112 is on the fritz. Anyone know a good amp tech/repairman near Macomb Illinois?

I agree the steel is the frosting on the cake, and it's senseless to go to practice when you can get your parts at home. I tell bandmates that's how I work, it's my approach to learning tunes. So it' ...

Sid, I meant raise it more to compensate for the extra time and work in addition to the $3 for the treatment. Premium strings carry a premium price, nothing wrong with that. I really like those string ...

So raise the price a little. They'll still be cheaper than several sets of untreated strings.

I've had Sid's Cryo strings on for about a month now. I practice every day, rehearse once a week, gig every weekend and have been tracking in the studio a little. These strings are AWESOME. They don't ...

Larry- it's not so much rod rattle I'm trying to eliminate. More like vibrations from the strings causing other things to vibrate underneath. The overall effect can cause annoying beats when amplified ...

Forumite Isaac Stanford will be at Fedora's in Lawrenceville NJ any minute now, then at The Mermaid Inn in Chestnut Hill later tonight. Don't know if he's playing lap or pedal.

Is there any trick to cutting one? Any tips I should know about?
Thanks

I assume the post is tongue in cheek, more clever than weird. Mr. Cole is a steel guitarist posting on the Steel Guitar Forum, after all.

To me the GFI has an Art Deco look. That's the best of the past and the future.

Thanks Greg. I've learned a lot from your site. Much appreciated!

What are these Monster Licks?

I experimented with different signal paths on my NV 112, and found that putting effects and volume pedal in line on the pre EQ loop sounded best. I also run the steel output into the high gain amp inp ...

Congrats on the new strings. No doubt they are amazing. Your strings improved the action on my GFI. And I appreciate the prompt customer service. Most excellent!

I play in Eb. The most you'll need is a few twists and tweaks of the tuners. I have found that heavier strings compensate for the slight decrease in tension. You may find without heavier strings, the ...

PM sent.

Larry, I live in Macomb. Anyway we could meet up and save on shipping?

Still for sale? Photos?
