All,

I'm looking for a ballpark retail and craigslist value for an old Steel I'm looking to sell. It's been sitting under my pool table since I bought a new Williams years ago. It was a great guita ...

Herb, what you describe is how I've been doing it. Sorry if this wasn't clear. It works fine for "Swinging Doors" where I don't have to keep pickin and blockin' the 1st & 5th string simultaneously. It ...

I've been copping licks off the 60's Haggard albums. I keep running across licks that use the flat 7 while rocking the A pedal. I can approximate them in the A+B position with a half stop raise on the ...

David,

You are greatly overestimating how hard it is to recognize intervals (in any key) in standard notation. As Randy Beavers mentioned, it's not hard if you know where the root note is. I learned ...

Right Hand Technique.

If you don't have someone who can show you how to work your right hand properly, get Jeff Newman's "Right Hand Alpha" DVD. I'd been playing for about 6 months when I got the DVD ...

I bought a ZB Custom Student steel with 3 pedals and 1 lever off of ebay. It needed work, but I wasn't about to spend $1000+ on something I knew nothing about.

I taught myself with Winnie Winston's b ...

Charles,

The answer to your question is "it depends". It looks like you're at the point where you need to learn your modes and when to use them. A quick search of threads past should give you a few e ...

I spent some time this weekend exploring what the heck to do with my right knee levers and came up with the following.

Drop the 2nd string to D and you have a minor triad with the 1st ,2nd and 5th ...

I'll have my first gig on steel tonight, backing up a songwriter at the Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis.

Hopefully my experience won't make as good of a story as some of yours...

Barring any severe typos (not near my axe right now), this should be pretty close. Off the GP album (Al Perkins?).

I did a quick search on The Shed Keys and didn't find anything. When do you guys play? Sounds like cool stuff.

Bob,

I'm not sure what you're looking for. Are you having trouble constructing basic chord melodies, or do you not like what you come up with?

If you can play the melody, and can play major and mino ...

Yup. I saw that thread, but it wasn't really what I was looking for.

I know the basic ii, iii & vi minor chords and can make the changes around the neck just fine. I'm looking for more info on connec ...

Hey all,

I'm pretty green on the steel (been playing about 7 months) but have started looking for projects to play with. I found a guy who could use some steel. He dropped off a CD of his songs and, ...

Thanks all.

I'm well aware of Ricky and Rebel's site, it's been a great help getting me started picking up intro's.

I'm more interested in learning how to back up a singer right now.

Look for a Fender Lead II (made in the early 80's). They can be had for under $400.

Hey all,

New steeler here (6 mos). I'm starting to get a handle on the fretboard/pedals and can actually make this thing sound ok now and then (sometimes). I'm looking for recommendations for songs o ...

I did a gig on 6 string in 5 degrees F.

I left the guitar in it's case overnight in my trunk to slowly acclimate to the new temperature. Once it was cold, the tuning held up pretty well. The only thi ...

Steve, I respect your opinion. I'm just calling things as I saw them.

I'm just out of my 20's but I spent many hours in my formative years trying to be Eddie Van Halen, Satriani et al. THe problem with that era is that many confused musicianship with playing fast.

3Now4 - Time Ebbing

It's more of a jazz based sound, but there's some serious New Orleans funk going on throughout. Both 3Now4 releases are outstanding if you like groove/improv based jazz.

Thanks for the help guys.

Now the big question, I wonder if it's riskier to bend the finger back down or keep it as it is? I don't have a backup if something breaks now, but I've got a new Williams D ...

Hey ZB knowledgable folks,

I was changing the 3rd string on my ZB, and it flew off as I was tightening it up. When I looked, the string hadn't broke and the pin the ball end of the string fits over ...
