Joseph I guess that would work also. Thanks

Yes Per, my playing a short one is a blessing Very Happy

I have a question about playing short songs, such as Together Again or Rosewood Casket. Basically 4 lines with no chorus or bridge. Not problem to take a break if someone is singing but if you just wa ...

Very fine fiddle and steel

Thanks Bill, definitely helps, especially since I've started working on that particular song. Won't get it like they did but.... John

Very helpful Fred, thanks a lot

Thanks Rick, anything helps. At my age I may not have the years it takes, but we all need to keep learning I guess. And yes that helps. John

Hi folks, wonder if anyone has any tips on learning to use a volume pedal? I'm at the point I would like try. Thanks, John

Really nice looking instrument. I'm jealous. John

Thanks fellows. what I needed, John

Thanks for the replies, never heard of Wayne before and he sounds good, but really just wanting the lap steel. While searching for Eddie's cds ran across a Noel Boggs album in cd format. Grabbed it. T ...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some good lap steel CDs for playing in my truck. Like mostly classic (Hank, Lefty) style music with some of the better known players. Any suggestions? Do not need singing. TI ...

Can only imagine

Thanks folks, tilting did help. Standing likely won't do, just playing jam sessions and at 76 don't think my legs and back would take it. lol But good thought. John

Thank you Noah, will give it a try

Morning, have a d8 Remington and having trouble playing on the far neck. Seems the near neck kinda gets in the way. Anyone have any hints or tricks to ease my playing here. Thanks, John

Bought a used double 8 a few months ago and love to try and play it. Beautiful tone no matter the amp I use. Just wish it wasn't so heavy so I could take it to our jam session, lol

Looks like something I might be able to use. Thanks for your work. John

Love the black one, shape, lay-out etc. But Personally like the tone of the cream colored one. Just the way the ball bounces I guess. John. Both beautiful BTW

Don't really know where to post this but I have a question. Are there any SG shows near Roanoke VA that I could drive to? Maybe Greensboro or some other city near. Really like to attend some. Thanks, ...

Thank everyone for all the posts. I see I have a lot of studying to do here. I know you're never too old to learn, but it does get a bit harder with age. Thanks again, John

I am a little older so probably can't get into theory too much (don't have the time left) but can anyone easily explain what you do with 7ths, 9ths, etc. I know 6ths can be used for minors but that's ...

I bought the Herb videos from Texas Music Supply, I think that is the name of the place. 2 of them and I thought they were helpful, but he didn't get into the tuning very much. Seems like there were t ...

Just took a look at that website, not knowing basically any theory it looks as if I may learn a little on there. Thanks for the info Tim, John

Thanks, enjoy seeing things in A6. My tuning of choice. John
