In jazz, chorus has a specific meaning: the part of the song after the verse (which is seldom played). The chorus is then repeated until the ending. It's usually 32 bars in the form AABA. In a blu ...

Chas, my question was meant to be rhetorical if not philosophical. Obviously music can strike a chord in our brain's pleasure zones. And when that pleasure isn't coming often enough, we complain. A ...

A good source for the Emmons C6 tab is-----Buddy Emmons!

Why does anyone ever listen to a recording twice?

Thanks, guys. Jeff, your solution has worked to my satisfaction. Carl, you're right.

It's great for harmonizing melody notes. For example, if the chart calls for a I delta and the melody contains a ninth and/or a major seventh, the pedal works great.

On my GFI, I can adjust how far the lever hangs down and the length of travel. My advice is to let it hang down as low as possible as long as you can still get your knee under it and can close your c ...

I'm finding that my ears are wanting two different Bbs on my C6 neck. The Bb that I want for Cm7 or F11--pedal 6 plus the 4th-string raise--is distinctly sharper than the Bb my ears want for C7--no p ...

Making a singer sing a song he or she doesn't like to sing has never worked out well.

I'd love to try a sacred-steel tuning. My favorite kind of blues playing features major thirds and 6th tones--like take-off guitar or what many R&B pianists play--as well as minor thirds, flatted sev ...

I've noticed the steel, too. Have you ever seen him play it?

Right on, Walter. Can you imagine a voice as "country" as Wanda Jackson's getting on the radio today?

Am I the only guy who gets an E with the pedals down and then just tunes out the beats?

Michael, there was a great thread on that. [url=http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum5/HTML/001684.html]Click here.

Theresa, that wouldn't explain the much lesser decline in the other genres' sales. I think the best solution for a healthier Country Music industry is to wrest a bunch of broadcasting licenses away f ...

I suggest you start with the list of Hall of Fame members and try to find compilation cds that contain their playing. But you can't neglect Hawaiian music.

Buddy's turnaround is still causing reverberations in the steel world over 40 years later. That's something!

Buddy does an incredible ride on the Cherokee Cowboys' version. It's in the Ray Price box set put out by Bear Family.

Herb, I'd go up the ladder at Adobe until I found someone to give me the code. And, if they don't, I'd let the steel community know about it.

I recorded the Lloyd and Tommy video audio track on my computer using my Cakewalk program. I then edited it and burned a CD. It sounds great and makes driving great. I imagine any audio recording p ...

Thanks, Ricky.

Jim, I have indeed and dig 'em. What I was lamenting was Country Music. Western Swing is still great, thank God. We're lucky to have Tom Morrel, AATW, The Time Jumpers, et al. Country, on the othe ...

Any tips on its usage?
