You need to look at steel players from around the world site and send me your "steel guitar" files to be added.

To which site are you referring?

I probably would not buy an iPad just for this but since I already have one, I use the Fender AmpliTube app on the iPad when I want to use headphones. It is actually quite nice and the iPad weights a ...

(steel lessons are my belated Christmas present to him since I'd drawn his name for Christmas, but had no money to buy a gift for him)

Well done!

Jeff the fore mentioned jam is an annual event in your area.

By "in your area" do you mean, O'Fallon, Rolla, Swansea or something else?

Lyle I'd have a get together out here if I could get enough to come.

That is a very common pedal, and probably the most used changes on a fourth pedal. Most usually drop the tenth string to A with it.

4 quarter notes per measure.

12/4 isn't 4 quarter notes per measure. That would be 4/4. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by the following...

I'd call it 12/4. 12 beats per measure of 4.

I'd call it 12/4. 12 beats per measure of 4.

What does "...measure of 4" mean?

average 5 nights a week for a good part of 30-40 years adds up.
