Is he still building them?

Hey Dave -

I like the idea of that last tuning to described, all in 3rds. Does that set of D'Adarrio EJ-17's work with that? Could you please tell me what those gauges are? Thanks so much!!

Anybody out there know of anybody making acoustic Weissenborn-style Hawaiian guitars with more than 6 strings? Thanks!

and also a great primer in using the B and C pedals.

Wow Skip - that Brumley thing is the best I've ever heard! What a master.

Speedy's son Gary was a good guitar player, who played blues in the style of his idol Albert King. I was in a band with him on keys, sax and harmonica in the 70's in OKC that played 6 nights a week at ...

Nice one Ron! First I wrote it out in manuscript - the notes and rhythms. Then I notated which notes are picked cleanly and which are slid to. So now I can can play it pretty well. At a quarter-speed. ...

Yes it is and 2 days later is Joey's.

Just saw this. Okay Pete - here's the story I got from Terry: NRBQ was making an album w/ Skeeter up north someplace and Terry had an arrangement of "Someday My Prince Will Come" that had Al ...

Hey Bob - I did bring back the mids that I scooped out, and it does give the sound more meat for single-string higher stuff. I find I can still sound pretty by picking the strings further from the bri ...

I'm loving the tone I get on my Williams with the Lawrence 705 blade-type pickup - colorful and warm. However in loud situations, a band will cover up most of that, leaving (especially in the higher r ...

Yeah - what Tony said. The Paul Franklin thing of raising those strings to get that D in there is great. Also the A to C gives you 3 consecutive whole-step-apart strings (C-D-E) which is great for pla ...

I really appreciate that Roger - yep that was the E9 neck. There isn't much you can't find chord-wise on it.

Thanks bOb! Matter o' fact, I'm getting ready to play some cello/steel duets with my son Austin this Saturday at a steel guitar event that Russ Pahl is putting together. He's got me, Luke Schneider, D ...

What does anybody think about these amps? I hear they were only built for a couple of years. Thanks for your input. And Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

No slouches there! Thanks Jerry.

I love the classic intro and turnaround on this song. The record reminds me of Hughey's playing with Vince. I'd like to know who it is. On this live version, is the steeler that guy who also flies pla ...

That Shrimpsey is insane!! That guy had his own style big time. How do ya think he got that bright, brilliant Mooney tone w/out sounding harsh and tinny?

Looks sort of blues-based with all those E7 chord tones in there. Not very 6th chord-friendly. There's almost an entire scale in the middle - 6 consecutive notes a step apart. That makes for lots of ...

Sorry but I can't remember, but it was not just an alteration of E9 or C6 - it was a whole different deal. He was playing stuff on it that didn't sound weird, just different combinations... He has a t ...

Wow Pete - that thread is DEEP! Very educational about Pete's hybrid C6th tuning. It illustrates what Bob Carlucci said about how all the notes are on both necks SOMEWHERE, if not all the chords. WHo' ...

You're right about Lloyd there. It sounds like E9 stuff. Harold Bradley was "music director" on the album, if that tells you anything about player choices. man, the volume pedal control on t ...

Anybody know who played steel on Jim Reeves' version of "When Two Worlds Collide"? This album also has "Take Me Into Your Arms" and "I Love You Because". To my ears it co ...

I like that you provide traditional notation along with the tab. It makes it so much easier to suss out the rhythm, etc. Wish that was done more often.

What's the downward bar pressure for?
