I met him a few times when I was playing at Bucks club. He was a super nice guy. RIP Larry

Sad news. I did some gigs with him in the early 80's. He was a very humble man.

Evans Amps sound great with guitars, steels and keyboards. Especially if it has a 15 inch speaker.

I also miss him. I think about him often.

I don't know if he made guitars, but Albert Johnson was an expert on repairing steel guitars. He rebuilt a D-10 Emmons push/pull for me. New shiny black mica finish, re-jeweled the necks, wonderful se ...

That was awesome Joe. Glenn was bigger than life... Pure poetry in motion on the guitar. I met his son that played drums. Wonderful person. My Mother died of Alzheimers and all I can say is "God ...

Great guy. Superb Push/Pull mechanic. RIP

Check out some of his beautiful guitars here.

Sad news. Another great steel guitar craftsman is gone. RIP

I was playing a gig at a casino and a band from Sacramento was playing there also. I asked them if they knew Chris and they said "Yes, great guy, great musician", so I called him up and we c ...

Sad news. RIP James.

He died a year ago. He was a good guy. I spent a lot of time with him, recorded and jammed with him. RIP Dallas

I use it a lot for playing melodies (with thirds) up and down the neck.

E + G = min 3rd

E + G# = MAJ 3rd

Eric, since you and I both play 6 string, I will explain how I remember chords for the C6 neck.

If you press your 7th pedal (on the 7th fret) you get Cmaj9 when you strum from the 9th string. If yo ...

I've had lots of Sho-Buds and lots of push/pulls. They are both great guitars but that's where the similarities end. To me, the Emmons feels like I'm playing a much more accurate guitar. I'm set for s ...

Yes... That 1003 serial number makes it the third MCI that Bud Carter built. She's a beauty and it makes me happy to see it in the hands of a great guy, superb musician and pedal steel guitar enthusia ...
