Thanks steinar....but all credit goes to Joshua's stellar playing, along with Mike Poole's engineering and Chuck Ainlay's mixing. It's the engineers who provide the secret sauce; 80% of producing is s ...

Hi steinar and Dana,

This guitar is beautiful!

Let me first say I am no expert, and I certainly don’t have an explanation for the patent number on the pickup. What I do know is that I have this same guitar — serial ...

Hi Mark,

Kurt --

You nailed it. Great playing on this beautiful live version -- and at the Grammys!

Hi Dean,

It's great to see your posts here on the Forum.

I'm pretty certain the steel guitar Buddy used on "Tall, Tall Trees" was a Bigsby. I say this because it was recorded at the sa ...

Happy birthday to you!

Marty, that's a great looking 8-string. I recently bought an 8 string Dobro, threw a G6 tuning on it, and been having blast with it. Good luck with your sale!

Wow, thanks for posting this Keith. I've never seen this. It's fun to see how Little Jimmy responds to Buddy's fills in verse four...and that solo is fabulous!

Hi Jerry,

I made it a habit to never ask Buddy questions like "how did you play...." Maybe that's why he was kind enough to answer my emails and phone calls.

You can imagine how many times I've k ...
