I'm sort of the same boat. I started on 6 strings c6/a7, picked up an 8 string and the more I looked at it I decided to do it one string at a time..I have 7 strings on it with an A on the bottom. D ...

Wow, that's nice! I heard a Sol song on youtube that got me interested in playing lap steel. I guess their is something reflecting that green on your ceiling but that green swirl design would look n ...

that pic is hilarious... where does the power feed go, to a 220 plug? Smile

Nice amp in the corner.

cool thread and nice amp...I have a black face vibro champ and like it. Had it since 73, bought mine from the guy that bought off the sales floor in about 67 or 68.

I got the course a couple of weeks ago from Scotty and not quite to the E section. If someone is wondering about this course it looks extremely comprehensive. I like the way Byrd can even make a simpl ...

I agree completely in what you said. I listen to the live versions for perspective also. I agree on the keyboard player too, definitely top shelf playing.

wow Mike, very cool...Thanks for posting that video!

I've been playing lap about 6mo. and having a time with harmonics too. I agree with the person that said it also depends on the lap steel. I won a low ball auction for a recording king rs32, deliver ...

Thank you for the info. Do you know if Jerry was playing on any other songs on that album?

I just picked up the Jerry Byrd course and some of the Byrd tabs from Scotty's music. One of the tab songs is Tiny Bubbles. I'm having a time trying to locate a recording of Byrd playing this song. ...

I ran in to that zz video the other day when I was searching for steel playing on Act Naturally. I was wondering how the lap player was getting the pedal licks in.

As far as the amps go, about 6 ...

Thanks!

I got the 6 string model back in Nov and like it. I have nothing to compare it to but I've picked up various Sx basses over the years.
