For anyone interested, Guitar Player had a lesson with Jerry Douglas in the April issue (I think). Did anyone else see this? I noticed he tilted his whole wrist for reverse slants. It seems like a ...

Get well soon Brad. My thoughts are with you.

Hey Rick,

I love the pictures and the tab for the different slants. Do you have any other slant tabs?

Keith

Hello Jody,

I'll be sending you a cashiers check tonight. Can't wait to hear the CDs.

Keith

Thanks Andy and Terry. I was hoping to make purchases throught the Steel Guitar Forum. It's a win-win situation, I get some nice CD's and the money goes to a nice place. Does anyone have L.T. Zinn' ...

Hi Everyone,

I was going to give myself a birthday treat this year. Does anyone have some favorite non-pedal CD's that are available here? I was also wondering how Jerry Byrd's autobiography was.

Basilh,

I don't know why this tuning is refered to as C#m9th. Jerry Byrd calls it that in his instruction manual. I would say that you are correct that this isn't an accurate name for the tuning. ...

As I was looking over Jerry Byrd's tab it seems like C#m9th is basically used to make dominant 7th/9th chords from string 6 to 3. Using a straight bar across string 3 to 1 gives you the minor chord, ...

Yeah, I suppose I would tend to call it an E13 tuning, but since Jerry Byrd calls it C#m9th that is what I refer to it as. I think the distictive sound comes from the close intervals: D E F# G#, all ...

Hey Guys,

Have any of you guys used C#m9th (low to high E G# D E F# G# C# E). I was going through Jerry Byrd's lessons last night and tried this tuning. It seems like there are a lot of chords avai ...

I've got a triple neck Maestro that looks similar to the above picture. The middle pickup has at least one pole piece that is higher than the rest. I had thought of filing it down as well. I bought ...

Ed,

No need to apologize. As far as I'm concerned all questions are valid and welcome.

Take Care - Keith

Howard,

Have you looked at Herb Remmington's A6th pedal steel set up in the tunings section? I only play non-pedal, but I didn't want you to end up without any replies.

Keith

If you can afford it, I would say keep both. The book has pictures of slant postions, etc., but I think it is nice to see the action in real time. I have both and think they're both good resources t ...

Scotty has a new non-pedal book & CD for those interested in playing behind a singer or lead instrument. I just got it and it looks pretty good to me. It is a new item and doesn't have an item numbe ...

I've got a triple neck that I'm going to restring soon. I'm planing on having the mid neck with my main tuning C6th/D7th, inside neck w/ E7th, and the outside neck (from)C6th/A7th.

I like to sit wh ...

Yes I think a former owner did do some bad stuff to my guitar. I paid $300 for it three years ago and I ended up paying about $200 to have the middle neck rewired because someone had gone in and remo ...

Hey Guys,

At this point I'm planning to try and do the cheapest fix for my tuning machines. I don't mind having non-stock parts. I'm taking the guitar in soon to have the tuners looked at.

I have ...

Hi Jeff,

My Magnatone looks very similar to yours. I need to get the tuning machines worked on. Two broke on me a couple of years and it cost about $80 to fix. So now anytime I change strings or t ...

Wow b0b,

Those songs sound great. How well do you think they would translate to diatonic on on a non-pedal?

Regards,
Keith

Thanks guys. I'll e-mail Scotty's.

Keith

Hi all,

I was just at Scotty's Music website and couldn't track down any individual tablature for Jerry Byrd. Are they still available through Scotty's?

Thanks,
Keith

Andy,

What a great book. I bought it as a Christmas gift for myself and am enjoying it. It was nice to see so many styles represented. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this wonderful b ...

I never realized Ry Cooder played steel guitar. Does anyone know what tunings he favors?

Keith

I've got a Maestro that I imagine is similar to Guitar Bobby Leach's. One volume and tone control pot for all three necks and a toggle switch that allows you to play the middle neck plus the inside o ...
