I've got Buddy's C6 Basics course. It's good. But the one that really helped me get going on C6 is Jeff Newman's C6 WORKSHOP video and CD (and book? I can't remember). It's pretty much based on Wester ...

Bobby - why do you want to put changer fingers back on the same string they came from? I seem to recall, when rebuilding a couple of old Sho-Buds many years ago, that James Moorehead recommended swapp ...

I use to fingerpick 6-string guitar using thumb and three fingers, so thought that would make sense on pedal steel. It proved not so easy, in part because I am a pick-blocker - I need to not only pick ...

When I tested the line-out vs. mic'ing on my TB 202 I decided I liked the mic'ed version better. That's the best way to find out - try both in a controlled situation.
