The pull rods are 3/32" in diameter. You can find them online at welding supply stores. Search for "welding rods." I bought some 3/32" stainless steel welding rods from Ebay. You c ...

Thanks, Donny,
I can do basic soldering of wires but don't have any clue how to replace the components you mentioned. You're right that it's best to take it to a qualified tech, which I may do at som ...

Hello,
My Peavey Session 500 made a loud "bzzzt!" noise and went dead. It was a burned fuse. I replaced the fuse with a new, 8A 250V fuse. Immediately after I turned it on, again "bzzz ...

Thanks to Mickey Adams, I've been having lots of fun recently playing "Bud's Bounce" that I learned from Mickey's YouTube video. I've wanted to learn this tune since forever and finally did.

Thanks for you input guys. Some good tips here.

I notice many people say TAB is a bit of a crutch. That's probably true because when I learned a couple of songs from watching video instead of TAB, ...

Hello everyone. I've been learning and practicing a bit more recently (still not enough Smile

Good stuff. He is a great harmony singer, some good note choices.

Jim, you're right. I just checked and my computer has that video editor app. I'll start with this one, maybe it will be enough for my needs since I just need to do basic stuff with it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Richard, yeah I have an old injury on my left hand fingers. If you look at the picture in my post above where I'm holding the bar, my index finger has an artificial ...

Thanks, Ian. That looks good and I'll check it out. Even better that it's free.

Hey guys, I made a YouTube video where you can see me using the armrest. It's just a quick "off-the-cuff" rockin' jam with my bro on drums. View it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p27R ...

Interesting. The only limitation I can see with this is that it might not allow you "squeeze" the pedals, or press them slowly or faster for expression, and also to achieve half-pedaled note ...

Thanks for your comments, guys.

You can use a normal bar with this pad, too. But you'll only get the bar support on the lower strings.

As for the increased volume/resonance. It's only really not ...

Nice playing, I enjoyed it. I like the tone he gets out of his MSA guitar, which sounds very warm and not trebly or shrill. The positive message of the song is refreshing too.
Thanks for posting.

Ever since I got my Carter SD-12 over a decade ago, I've been experimenting with making different pads/armrests for it to make it more comfortable and ergonomic. Finally, 3 years ago I made a pad that ...

That looks like an excellent setup and you can't go wrong with it as it is. I wouldn't worry about changing anything because you have the main changes there.

If you get the steel and after a while ...

Just watched the whole thing and it brought a big smile to my face. Ralph has such an unmistakable style, the definition of happy, joyful music. Thanks for posting the video!

That is awesome. Beautiful melodic playing just the way I like it.

Thanks, Sandy.
