Glad I downloaded this from Youtube before it got yanked. Thanks much for the link. I like this live stuff better than the album versions.

Thanks much for the heads up Andy!

Yes! Nice Jonny!

I've been thinking a lot lately about getting another steel in order to use a tuning more suited to the modern sacred steel sound. Does anyone have examples of sacred steel players using a C6? I thi ...

Interesting. I have yet to delve into a tuning with a 9 in it or an 8-string for that matter. I am more and more curious about the options that 8 strings allow.

thanks,

Really dig this and am inspired by the fact that you aren't using fingerpicks as I have been avoiding using those. I'm sure you have mentioned this before but what tuning are you using here?

Thanks for the info. I am using a 6 string with the high G tuning and really like it at this point. Seems like at some point I should get an 8 or 10 string though...

Thanks much guys. Awesome

I am about to do some lap steel lessons with my friend's teenage son and wondering if anyone here has recommendations for books/printed materials for C6. I do have Dewitt Scott's beginner book which ...

Very cool, thanks for this.

Thanks for this!

Unbelievable!

This batch of sheet music has no mention of tunings that I have found. Here is a scan of 1/2 of a song and its cover:

Hi George,

the Coleman book has music notation and says the tuning is E A E A C# E low to high which he calls "key of A or Spanish Tuning".

Hello all,

I was just given a bunch of Oahu Publishing and Leon Coleman steel guitar sheet music. Have scans of this stuff already been posted here? If not I will scan some of the Oahu covers as ...

Thanks much for this. I can't figure out how to buy tickets for the show in Cambridge, MA at the Wong Auditorium. Any ideas?

Chris

Haven't seen this. Thanks much!

Oh my goodness this is going to be awesome.

Sorry John, you're right that I was being overly judgmental about the criticism. I actually don't care for the playing in that clip much myself : ) Junior just blows me away generally.

I sure lo ...

Thanks Mike! Been digging your blog by the way.

Cool Andy. Yea, it's got me thinking too.

I have seen Junior a few times up here in MA. His shows are always excellent. There is plenty of showboating but the meat of his shows are clever catchy songs, an awesome voice and tasty (at-times j ...

Is it common to use a flat pick like this?

Also, I'm sure it's been discussed before but what tuning does JB use?

Big thanks to Don and Ray! Those will really help with the jazz standards I am working on.
