I have a great Crafters Virginian. It has a maple bridge set-up,I think, and it sounds good to me right now, but I know there will come a time when I'll have to replace the bridge inserts. Are the ma ...

Is there a tape or course somewhere that actually shows how to do popular Dobro licks? There are many for the pedal steel, like Steve Palousek, who just goes over many different licks, intros, breaks ...

What are you calling a "steel guitar"? Did you play a lap steel?

b0b,

I had no idea about the Policy. Forgive me. It will not happen again. If you will, please delete the post altogether.

Charles,

Most of the instructional material (Cindy Cashdollar, Rob Ickes, Jerry Douglas)will be in the G tuning. It is the very best place to start, and there is nothing country you can't play there. ...

I went to these sites. There is very little there in the way of used instruments for sale. I suppose the forum is unique indeed.

I was looking in the "for sale" section of the forum, and I noticed that I very seldom see dobros, (resonator guitars) and related equipment for sale. It seems to be 98% pedal steel stuff. There see ...

I've been learning now for about two months. I play pedal steel, so scales are not new to me. I ran out and bought instructional videos from Jerry Douglas, (very advanced, but it does make you try v ...

How many of you have tried the Fluxcapo? I don't have a capo for my Virginian yet, and I was wondering how it is. I heard it is what J Douglas uses. Not that that makes it the best, but it is a str ...

I ordered some Propiks. They are alright, but the slanted tips soften my tone a little too much for my ear, and they are a bit to thin. Just my opinion. I could live with them, if I didn't have my ' ...

Do you think it's possible to love the dobro as much as you do your steel? To me, the sound of a well played steel is like music from Heaven. Really, there is nothing in this world as beautiful as w ...

While getting ready to play earlier today, in a moment of stupidity, I dropped my bar right on top of my new Virginian. It is a Scheerhorn stainless, and they have sharp edges. As luck would have it ...

I do love the '41s, but I ordered some Propiks to see what they are about. I've never used them..
