Thanks guys. Finally got the 3rd string on. All stops are accurate. Great advice!

I stupidly decided to change all the strings on my GFI Ultra ( after 3 years! ) shoulda left well enough alone. Finally got them on. 3rd string keeps breaking when I tune up - four times! The ball end ...

I’m thinking of getting a quilter TT12 combo and am wondering if this would effectively double as an amp for electric guitar in addition to steel guitar. Anyone have experience with this?

Ya done good er …well. You managed to hit the highlights without copying everything note for note while creating your own arrangement. Nice!

I bought one used in 2013 ( came with GFI pack a seat, Winnie Winston book, bar and Carter volume pedal ) for $750 and sold the steel in 2022 for $650. I kept the other stuff

Find the melody and figure out how to harmonize it would be my suggestion. That will keep you busy for a while

I was drawn to pedal steel ( and banjo ) because of Jerry Garcia. It was later that I inevitably discovered Buddy and Lloyd and the rest of the greats. Working out chord melody arrangements of Dead tu ...

Steel widow huh? I was wondering what the official term for that condition was

Hey Tom. It seems like there’s a lot of material in the complete method that I wouldn’t need now. I’m not a beginner and don’t have C6 neck. Which product would be best suited for someone tryi ...

To all the above I would add the blocking exercises on page 50-51. They are little musical excursions developed as exercises. I incorporate them into my warm ups regularly

Anybody figure out those licks he was so adamant about getting right? That’s a nice roadmap we got here

Thumb and middle - I don’t use ring finger to play steel. That 10-8-6 grip is important to master ( as are grips using string 9 on the bottom ) so you will need to put in the time to get comfortable ...

Thanks Greg!

Any tabs for Lloyds excellent work on this Paul McCartney song?

I’m with Jerry on this one. Handlers gonna handle. Mullen will make sure it’s packed properly. Probably arrive in tune. So Merry Christmas

I don’t know the answer to your question but 90 years old and still pedaling?!? You sir are my new idol

Working my way through Winnie Winstons book Pedal Steel. That and getting ready for upcoming Grateful Gathering in Lakeland FL with The Rusty Strings

Outstanding!

Curious as to what the Carter cost. You should be able to replace a bad pickup or Jack pretty inexpensively and you’d have a workable steel. I started on a Carter Starter and even with its inherent ...

Yes. I just chord on the steel whilst singing - nothing fancy

No. It will give you purpose in retirement.

I have taken my steel to Bondz for work. You will probably have to leave it and pick up at a later date depending what is needed. They do a good job

I have GFI Ultra 3 pedals 4 levers with copedant listed above. That RKL yields some nice changes especially lowering string 6 - combined with LKR ( lowered 4,8 strings ) it offers an instant 5 chord - ...
