Thanks for the assistance! I am glad that I'm not the only one that thinks this is good stuff. 😎

I am now an Eddie Martin fan. Rich, I can't imagine how Eddie moved that beast to gigs. Wow!

Anyone know who played on Ray Price's records "Jealous Lies" and "Your Wedding Corsage" from 1950"? I believe this may have been Ray's first record. The steel has some Hawaiia ...

I had not listened to this era of Joaquin in a little while. And man, every time I revisit it it blows my mind again. His tone and note choice are amazing of course. Not as often mentioned, his rhythm ...

Sounds great my friend! 😃

Cool! Nice picking. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I am working on it. Give me 5-10 years maybe? Haha. E13 is great for single note stuff as well. I use the "Vance Terry" E13 variant (high to low):
E C# B G# F# D B G#

Goes really w ...

I had excellent results with this method. The old tuners in question were quite difficult to turn, and I was nervous to turn them, it felt like they were going to break. I followed the procedure from ...

Beautiful and so cool. Thanks for sharing this one!

I hope this guitar goes to someone who will play it, not just sit in a museum. What a beautiful instrument. Wood necks are relatively rare from that late in Bigsby production, I think? The pedals are ...

Nice use of open strings in your lines! And I like how you pickup the bar for some whole tone moves on the same string, so it doesn't always sound like a slide. Helps to break it up and make things so ...

I have seen those clips countless times and seen that pic, but I never put it together. Ha. Sure looks like the same guitar to me? Regardless, the second pic is a Permanent. The fingertips have a bit ...

Thanks for the plug Rich Very Happy

. And thanks for listening JD and Larry. That was a fun gig!

Ray Price Sings Bob Wills is a great record! Jimmy does pay a lot of (great!) E9 on there. He does play C6 too though. Bubbles in My Beer is definitely C6:

If you search here on the forum, there are quite a few threads about Sho Buds, including some that are devoted to Sho Bud Permanents (1950's and 60's) and/or Fingertips (1960's). There is some good in ...

I am just curious if anyone is using this copedent on an 8 string guitar? I am guessing that the Bud Isaacs copedent is more common (but still not "common" Very Happy

Bill, what a cool post! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I was just curious. I guess the close spacing was for a different reason.

On early Sho Buds that have the smaller, closely spaced ABC pedals, it it possible/practical to press all three pedals at once with the left foot? I mean without contortions/putting your foot sideways ...

Very interesting! I am curious to hear how this tuning works for you in practice. If you record anything with it, it would be cool to hear it as well. Cool

I don’t know too much about slack key, but I wonder how old these slack key tunings variations are. Could a slack key armpit tuning like G Wahine have been the inspiration to lower the 3rd string ...

Snoozer Quinn! You have good taste!

I would venture to say that the roadmap to learning any music is fairly clear. The hardest part is sticking with it, because it can be quite frustrating at times! I do not say this as some kind of exp ...

Cool!

Thank you BoB! I am a somewhat recent member, I joined in 2017. I have spent many joyful hours pouring over all of the wonderful information that is only a search away. In addition to being a vibrant ...

There is nothing better than music-related intellectual curiosity.

Yes!
