Yep, "Boenzee Cryque" was one Denver band featuring (the young) Rusty Young, which hit Grand Junction, Colorado. That night he patched into leslies that a mutual friend had onstage for his B3, and 'to ...

David, John, & Jon:

By tweaking the "bipic" tips, I bet the string pair spacing of mandolins can be accommodated, but I've not heard of anyone that has tried them for mandolin.

I've felt that the bi ...

Yes I do, but no site to post so the they may appear here. If, and when, HowardR returns from the Dallas Steel Show, maybe I can impose on his skills again to get them up on the SGF.

I'm all smilie faced, for two reasons: I've already met wonderful folks as a new member, and it just might be possible that I'm able to help some new friends in their satisfaction and enjoyment of the ...

Bill -

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. Thanks for making it happen.

When I turned 40 there was a half moon looking just like a yellow bowl floating above the ocean, and I thought, "Don't worry man about not getting my steel set up yet, 'cause jus' look at all those gu ...

Bill:

I'm looking forward to meeting some of the West Coast Steelers at your jam. Thanks for making it possible.

Your soon to be friend,

My God, 'R' rated Ebay! That was gory, it reminded me of the retraction cadavers at my 2nd year med anatomy class. I hope someone signed the organ donor card, this one's DOA. But, I could use the be ...

Thank you Carl and to all the SFG members.

I can't believe it! I now have wiring diagrams for my Fender V/T Pedal and my Stringmaster that I never even hoped to see, and, I'm plugging my pedal in whe ...

Travis/John: Thanks for your remarks.

Bipicks have huge sound on Dobro, and might mean a new term for Banjo: Sledge-Hammer. With Lap/Hawaiian amp work, flat compression rakes, straight up picks, or ...

My thanks to SGF and C. Dixon for the Fender V/T Pedal wiring information. I've got one, and a '58 Q8 Fender Stringmaster with dual pickups (humbucker-type?) to consider.

HowardR: Saw your photo post concerning the Ebay 'Sting'-Master.

I had no idea I was e-mailing my finger pick 'pic' to a distinguished person such as yourself, and I'm grateful that a man in your p ...

HowardR, thank you in advance for your assistance. I'm charging up the digital!

As a new member, I want to say that it is great to feel so welcome.

Thanks Travis. I'll post 'Pick' pic's as soon as I perfect the photo procedure (Never have done it, eh)!

I have wondered where someone with skill could take this idea. I can do simple rakes and arp ...

I would like to add to the bent/straight discussion, that I've 'invented' a two-way finger pick: they work while closing and opening your fingers.

With their tips bent inward and soldered together, t ...

I too have one of the other 4 neck 'Stringmasters" that were converted on the 3rd neck. It's a '58 Blond with three pull pedals, which I purchased for $225 in 1970 in Delta Colorado.
