The most common solution is a multi neck steel or a second guitar.

I was reading about Jerry Byrd and that guy mostly changed tunings between songs. Quite impressive. I wonder how fast he could do ...

Hello,
I was wondering how some of you guys change tunings when playing a series of songs. What if you have only one guitar but need to change tunings. Do you train yourself to tune fast? Is there so ...

ALL the material for six string LS will work on 8 string, too, but the other way round might pose a problem, esp. for beginners who can't work around that by transposing 8-string stuff for the 6-strin ...

Thanks for all the help.

I think I like the C6 tuning so far. Given me being a novice, I'm merely going by what I hear.

Question about playing style: can Hawaiian style be applied to country? I ...

When purchasing books on, oh, let's say C6 tuning Hawaiian style, is the material based on an 8 string, 6 string, or both?

Thanks

Thanks for the info!

Oh one other thing. I've been looking around for 8 string lap and I'm finding that they're so much more expensive than the 6 strings. They're also really hard to find. Does anyone have experience with ...

Thanks for the response.

I'm starting to think that my questions are probably all too familiar in this forum (although I can't find any). Very Happy

Hello,
I'm a noobie here and have an interest in learning lap steel. Does anyone have any suggestions for a low cost (but sounds pretty good) 6 or 8 string electric lap steel? My ears seem to be draw ...
