Thank you so much!

So sad to have never got to know Hook like I wished. We had good times amongst local pickers in the Charleston Wv area many years ago. In our late 20'searly 30's jammin'at the Longhorn late Sun aftern ...

Thank you Albert!

Wow! Thank you OP. I fixed my switcheroo. Now I raise my 4th string a half step on pedal 7. This allows me to combine pedals 6 and 7 to get m7 to a dom 9th. I have a knee that raises 4th string. I now ...

My pedal 4 is pedal 7. I want them to be the same to avoid having to use both feet. I play a G2.

My first few years I would pick a date year by year and reflect on how much better I was compared to the previous year- how ever slight. Remember! You are. Fascinated by this instrument. That is why y ...

Ross,thanks for summarizing the content and history of this article.

The latest in PSG construction?

Violin rosin. A drop of rubbing alcohol, wait then dab. Might want to clean licks from time to time.

Looks like something Buck Trent was using with Porter.

Roger, is it pro and what is the pay?

Exactly!

Mike Daly has a style that is evolving over time. So glad I have his recent release. He does not shy away from trying new things;arrangements, instrument combinations, borrowing from masters and givin ...

You have made steel players and free thinkers very proud. Thank you, Susan!

I used a gibson multi chord using strings eight thru one like a ten string. It was easy to get an AB pedal set up with that changer system. It was called a Gibson Multi-Harp. I never could figure out ...

I've never seen one. Thanks. The left hand fingerings look so effortless. What is the mechanism? I'll look it up.

This is the first I have heard using such big gouges. 68 and 70 I have used. How did it jump up to 79? I'd like to try it. Sounds kinda hard to wrestle a string that big. Might take two people.
