Maybe he chewed. Very Happy

Have you got Copenhagen? Laughing

He never chewed, although he did smoke in his younger years!

A lot of his band friends are gone now.....he kept his tools and spare parts in zip pouches and his picks and bars in a plastic container. I guess as Robert Stack said many times, "Perhaps it wil ...

I think it's goop you put on your fingers to keep your picks on. Very Happy

Ah might be! I never thought of that....I was little when I'd watch him play, so I don't remember much. He didn't have that there ...

I've seen this in a few videos that I have of Dad. It looks round and orange on top. Does anyone have any idea what it is and what it's used for? Maybe it's something for strings? I'm just curious LOL ...

The way that tab is written, Jason, you do move the bar up to the fifth fret (across all strings at the 5th fret) and play the strings one at a time: first string 4, then string 3, string 2, and strin ...

I've been trying to teach myself how to read tabs for a while, but still can't grasp it. I understand that the strings are numbered to the left, and I believe the numbers in between are the frets that ...

Don't sell yourself short, Jason......playing by ear is a skill some people envy. Learning music theory not only would help, but because of your available skill, you would understand it easier and mo ...

Hey Jason I'm mike in Beaumont a newbe also .a little longer than you but newbe non the less. One thing that helped me was learning scales.ascending or desending they will get you to your next chord.M ...

Can anyone give me some tips on learning fret positions? I know for Cajun music, my positions mostly go from 2-4, 5-7 and sometimes 9. When I started out about a year ago, the guy that got me started ...

Jason, you might do a search here on the forum for posts about Cajun steel...I know there are members that are very knowledgeable with the G tuning.

Thanks for the tip! I was hoping some of the o ...

Thank y'all for the input! Right now, I only play a G tuning on my back neck, I know nothing on the E9th. Do these tips still apply since it's not the same tuning?

Ok. Which neck do you have setup for you open G7 tuning? I think you are saying you are experimenting with your E9 tuning and you say it's setup for Emmons? Correct? I know that most Cajun players are ...

Thanks so very much!

I don't mess with E9th very much, since my main focus is Cajun music. Most of what I've learned to play is all with the G7th tuning, and doesn't require much pedal work...but l ...

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to play the lick on Brooks & Dunn's "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You"

I can only play by ear, so if I can figure out what key it's in, I may be ab ...

Thank you all for the replies! I have a much better understanding now Very Happy

Thanks for the input, guys! Maybe I can find a video showing these at work to better understand them, since diagrams aren't my thing....

I think I have a basic understanding though. Perhaps they wo ...

Just curious...I've heard of push-pull and all pull guitars, but never really fully understood what that means. Mine is a Sho~Bud Super Pro, I believe it's all pull, but not sure.

Can anyone tell me what type of steel the late Jesse Stutes played? I recently acquired some of his recordings and was a little curious.

Jason, the "big bar" craze didn't really come about until the late '50s. Before that, most bars that were used were short and only 1/2" or 9/16" in diameter. In fact, many of the ...

Cool info.! Thanks guys!
