Never mind! Was sent a drop box with the content. Also contacted Scotty's Music and Michael Scott. Strange, because I am also Michael Scott. hahahaha. Ordered a replacement CD as well. Crazy!

I bought the course a while back. Somehow, I misplaced CD-1. The website is no longer active (at least I can't find it). Any ideas as to how to acquire the CD or even get the content on-line? Any ...

Thanks for the replies. For now, at least until I make some progress, Iâ€™ll just use the SX. After a couple of days, it will be a while until what Iâ€™m doing even sounds like music....... ...

Hi,

New old member here. I pulled out my old SX and dusted off my J. Byrd learning book. I plan on starting from scratch as I never made much progress. Iâ€™ve never been real enamored with ...

Some years ago when my left hand was acting up, I bought a lap steel and the Byrd learning method book. My hand issues solved themselves and I went back to my fretted instruments. Well now the issue ...

Yep - somewhere in the earliest part, Jerry says to go step by step and not skip ahead. That is exactly my plan. Last night I listened to the CD exercises and the first song, and my playing of them ...

OK, not to bore (boar?) any of you folks, but here is a brief update on my "Jerry Byrd journey" so far. I was out of town most of the last week or so, so I started with all the exercises la ...

Well...........I've had the "course" a week now. A bit of background. I have played acoustic guitar 16 years, mandolin 6 years and dobro for about 18 months of and on. My lap steel is a S ...

Wondering if the JB course in question is the same as the one I purchased directly from Jerry in the mid 1980s. It was a large, thick soft cover with sort of a fuzzy red and gold cover, and was accomp ...

I just received my Jerry Byrd book from Scotty's. I spent some time reviewing it and must say it is complete and more. I read all the material for and did the first practice exercise (in A maj). I ...

Are either of these still available?

Thanks

Steve,

How much is the 919 bar?

Thanks, Mike

Well, I'm not "Larry", but I bought a 6 string lap steel a while ago to tune in GBDGBD to practice on while waiting for my Dobro (also a new instrument for me) to be completed. I've been wo ...

Tasty!

You may also want to visit the ResoHangout. Lots of info there all related to the reso and mostly the squareneck although there are a few round neck folks there too.

I am in the process of converting one of my acoustic guitars to a lap guitar, prior to making the commitment to purchase a Weissenborn style. I plan to start out with open D (Vastapol) tuning. Any i ...

As a neophyte on lap steel, this all looks very interesting. I will give it a go. Thanks a lot for all the hard work putting this together.

Thanks for all the replies. I found a "used like new" one for $25 which should serve my minimal needs well. If not, I can always get the iRig later.

Mike

Having done a bit more study-does anyone have an opinion on the iRig?

I am thinking about buying this amp. I understand there are better ones on the market, but for significantly more $$$. This one will be used for practice and mostly for travel, so I don't want to sp ...

Back to the Guilds. I presume by the price that they are made in the US? Then again I remember that Guild is owned by Fender. I have been a big fan of Guild through the years, but their resos are s ...

Well............Apparently there is no Weissenborn forum. So.... I would guess this is the best place to start. There is a dirth of places locally to sample these instruments so I will be forced to p ...

Rich, that was excellent. As a rookie new player, I now have something to aspire to. Very tasty indeed!

Thanks for the responses. I was lost until I listened to the audio of the tab-then it made perfect sense. The Vox is on order! I appreciate the help. I am loving tone of these things!

I have been lurking around on here for a little while and thought I would post an introduction. I found it odd there wasn't already and "intro" thread (at least I didn't come up with one in ...
