Starting on the 7th stg., 3rd fret, then 6th stg. then 5th stg (all at 3rd fret) gives you the first 3 notes of Remington. Then Pedal 6 (raise 4th, lower 8th) down, go to second fret, do your p ...

With the 6 pedal down, you do it at the second fret EXACTLY like you did it (in D) in Cth. The rest of the song (first part) is at the 3rd fret same as you used to do it in C6.

I play Remington Ride on my U-12 and: use the pedal (6) that raises the 4th and lowers the 8th stg. Play it just like you used to in C6h except you're in D at the 3rd fret. Works great!

Thanx Bill. Will see if I can locate him.

ANY STEEL IN RENO, NV. MAR. 25-26?

Will be in Reno Nevada this Thursday, 3/25 and 3/26 and wonder if anyone knows of any steel to see/hear? Thanx in advance.

I certainly agree with ALL of the above. Roy Wiggins was the first steel guitar I ever heard, somewhere in the 40's.....and I didn't have ANY idea what made that sound. From then on, all you had to he ...

Besides the discography, it is a VERY interesting history of/by one of the most revered pioneers of country steel guitar. He was an inspiration to everyone from Buddy Emmons to the steelers of today. ...

Have you heard the recent "TIME" CD by RP with Buddy E on steel? It is SO great and has all the sounds of the 60's songwise and in the steel parts ALL the way thru the CD. Just great!!!!!

When Is it?
And where is it?

I read once where Jerry said this was one of his all time favorites back in the days he was in Nashville. He (as always) puts his heart in his music and you can sure tell it on this one too.

Got my copy yesterday and read it right away. Very intersting history of the instrument and this spectacular artist! You ever wonder how we got our tunings? Its here...plus his accounts working wit ...
