Nice! Of course the final is simplified, with the featured part being the solo, which is wonderful. Steel through a leslie and using a wah instead of a volume pedal.

Wow, that sounds great! Excellent playing, too. Congratulations on getting such a wonderful instrument.

Just messing around. Not even a real song! Wonderful unique tone, through the Vibrolux Reverb w JBL D110Fs. https://youtu.be/1z-f2UnWPZg?si=oHgQC4-WG1bRC9MS

Based on the thread title, I thought this was about producing modern country music in Nashville.....

Don't overthink. Underthink and just play like you're playing over F7 for the A-7b5 and Ab7 for the C-7b5.

Very qualified tech worked on it near me. We even bypassed the pot and went straight to Jack. The pickup isn't grounded like most. It makes contact under the bobbins to the body. He did a good contact ...

Having grounding problems. Doesn't have the crystal clear lush sound it's always had. Poss needs to be rewound. Fralin? Or is there a Rik pickup specialist around? Thanks

Just heard it on WKCR. Timothy Brown from Nashville movie 1975. Great steel and sounded so Buddy Cage, but a bit more refined. Thinking it was one of the steelers that influenced him. Anyone know who ...

Where's the "love" button on this site?!

The scale length is 23”. I settled on DADF#ABD as the tuning. I might bring it up to E6 but it sounds great in D6 and I’m not sure how much cones can take. It’d probably be fine with the shor ...

For melodic stuff have to say the C diatonic is worth a try. When something isn't quite sitting on the C6, G or D it always seems to work really nicely on the diatonic.

I ordered mine on Amazon and got to me in 2 days for $10.

Borrowed a Fender lap steel in 1975, 15 years old after seeing David Lindley with Jackson Browne. No pics but started pedal steel in 1976 with my MSA Semi-Pro in the background that I had just gotten. ...

Using Byrd's C diatonic. 8 strings, E to E like all the white keys on a piano. Straight into the 67 Fender Princeton Reverb on this one.

I did Grammys in 1999 and to be honest, when you see the outfits we were wearing, I'm glad I was way in the back in the dark. Up in the mix though....Man, I felt like a woman.
