Roy,

In addition to steel music, I enjoy aviation (including models) and hate to hijack this thread, but my curiosity is getting the best of me. What is it that flies through the upper right hand ...

Absolutely beautiful.

I really loved the part from 0:14 to 0:25. Well done!

Did anyone else notice the airplane flying across the upper right corner of the frame at 1:17?? Shocked

Mighty-fine pickin' and recordin'! Very Happy

WOW. Beautiful. Don't know if hearing stuff like that is motivating or depressing Rolling Eyes

My cousin restored a Ford Fairlane 500 as his first car. It has been on blocks in a field for years and some mice made nests in the interior and died. It smelled bad. Tried EVERYTHING to get rid of ...

Wow. That guitar on the back cover looks "way cool" Cool

That sounds interesting. I'll have to give it a try.

I'll admit, I can wrap my brain around major and minor triads, 4 voice chords( maj7, 7, min7, m7b5), dim, aug, but when we start getting into t ...

Since this thread started, I have been playing with changing tunings, etc. I pulled out my Scotty tab books and found Tennessee Waltz with tuning C# E G A C E. I am playing an 8 string CruzTone so I ...

When starting out, an easy way to think about, and be able to easily find dominant 7th chords (for me anyway, your mileage may vary):

C6 contains the same notes as Am7. So if you play string 3, 4, ...

Very nice, simple arrangement from which all kinds of fun can be had experimenting.

Can't help but do a hammer-on/pull-off on the 2nd string in the 5th measure Wink

Thanks Doug for posting. I ha ...

Awesome!

WOW! Beautiful tone and intonation.

I would like to have that on my iPod. Very Happy

Just sat and watched lots of the youtube videos by Martin... Dang... I guess I need to buy a reso as my next instrument Very Happy

This is some motivating stuff.

Way cool!! Very Happy

Roy,

That is a really neat idea. When I first started messing with pedal steel, those "out of order" strings seemed crazy to me, but I soon came to really like them that way. Why didn't ...

I'll second the DeWitt Scott book recommendation... Excellent book!

I came from a 6-string background and was similarly overwhelmed at first. I was tempted to tune my lap steel to an "open" tuning or to normal guitar tuning, but resisted the urge because I ...

Wow! Thanks Gerald!

I don't know what to say to that.

I have to agree that ukulele and bass make a wonderful pair for some beautiful, simple, yet elegant music. The uke is great for making beautiful chord voicings because the re-entrant tuning puts the ...

Thanks guys!

Earnest: I guess there is probably an amp in the input itself. I wasn't thinking of that. I am using a Mackie Spike. When recording DI, I would normally use an amp sim (POD, etc), ...

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Sorry for those who couldn't listen. I have converted it to an MP3 and that can be heard here:

I have recorded my first song with the CruzTone. I plugged it straight into the computer with no amp, no amp sim, no pre-amp, etc. The only effects are compession and reverb. I am trying to demonst ...

You are correct. My digital camera is on the fritz. Colin took the photo.

Hello all.

This is my first post. I have been lurking for over a year, but finally have a real reason to post a topic.

My CruzTone is here!

First, a little introduction. I have noticed th ...
