...should I be thinking about replacing the pot?

I have a 1949 Gibson Century 6 and the pots on that needed cleaning. Unlike the pots you usually see today there was no "window" by the te ...

Hi friends!
The tone pot on my '49 Gibson BR-9 is acting a bit odd...I think! It seems to function perfectly well throughout its range. However...when I'm completely counter clockwise...and I mean na ...

(snip)
I'm leaning toward the National though because the plectrum portion of the pick is shorter...helping to create a better sense of connectedness with the strings... much like the slick pick.

Ok...
First off, thanks for all the GREAT suggestions! There's a great little mom & pop store just south of Minneapolis called Homestead Pickin' Parlor. They carry a HUGE variety of thumb picks. ...

Thanks!...
Anyone else have a thought?

Hey!
I'm moving along with the beginning phase of the wonderful world of Lap Steel. I'm hoping I can get some good recommendations re a comfortable, usable thumb pick. I started out with a heavy larg ...

THAT WAS AN AWESOME POST STEVE! Thanks so much! I'm going to pick up Doug's two song books for standard C6. Then...I'm going to play around with the E tuning variations that you shared. I can't believ ...

Thanks a lot Tom!

James,

First off welcome to the forum as well as the "brotherhood of steel". You sure are starting out with some fine instruments and I'm sure that you will find th ...

Hi!

John Ely lives up north.. and gets to the Twin Cities every now and then for gigs.. and he does lessons online via Skype.. so you can set up an "in person" check up between online lessons.. ...

Hi all!
Im just starting out on lap steel and would really like to get with a good teacher so I can get a good start with all the proper techniques, etc. Been playing guitar forever and am somewhat o ...

James, you made a good decision. I don't think you will be disappointed. One little thing that may be of help - it is rather easy to knock the tone control out of position when your picking hand is mo ...

James,

Nice looking guitar and just by appearance is seems to have "mojo"! Just don't get frustrated, relax, enjoy and as a fellow "newbie" I welcome you.

Tom

Well...
I'm the proud new owner of the Tone Master. I Ordered a couple sets of Scotty's C6 string sets, a Tribo-Tone standard "B" slide and the Basic C6th Nonpedal Lap Steel Method book/CD. ...

Thanks David. Makes me wonder, IF this is an Oahu brand, why they wouldn't have their brand name on it anywhere. I've also come across a few Tone Masters branded "English Electric". I wonder ...
