I hope I am posting this in the right place but I just need some education on a Fender. I found a Fender FS-52 6 string for sale. The ad says that it is a re-issue. Can someone tell me if that means i ...

Thanks James for the backing track it works and sounds great.

Thanks James I sent you a pm with my email address. I would love to hear you play it and record it I try never to miss any songs you post.

My son recently found this song on UTube with Kacy and Willie singing it and wanted me to learn how to play it on my lap steel or Dobro. I have googled it trying to find where I can purchase the sheet ...

Thanks Roy for posting this topic on the Alkire tuning and by the way I'm from Alabama. Another outstanding player of this tuning is Duane Solley in Texas. I have often wondered why this tuning has ne ...

Wow Doug that was great. I hope you will put this in your new book of songs coming out soon I hope.

Hi Ralph, I just sent you an email so keep an eye out for it. I might can help you.

Thanks a lot Kay. You don't know how much it means to me for you to make such a kind comment on my playing since you have been one of my hero's on the steel guitar for several years now.
Thanks again ...

Well here is the old Eharp player trying my hand at playing the dobro/resonator again. The song is Silver Threads Among The Gold played on my very inexpensive acoustic Rogue resonator. Give it a liste ...

I purchased a Lace Sensor a few months ago and put it on my Johnson resonator. I think it sounds ok but it does color the sound somewhat in my opinion. I have a utube video if you would like to take a ...

Hi Alan, thanks for your comments. I recently acquired this amp and I have got a lot to learn about it. After you commented about some phasing I took another look and now I'm really confused it seems ...

Hi Brad, thanks for watching and for your comments. I am using a Peavey Transtube 212 EFX amp and yes I am using a little bit of chorus and just a little bit of reverb.

Thanks Eddie, I appreciate your comments.

That was excellent. We need to hear more songs from you.

I bought a Johnson resonator about 7 years ago and it has mostly just sat so I thought I would give it a try. I put a Lace Sensor pickup on it to see what it would sound like and it sounds pretty good ...

Thanks Doug for re-doing the video showing the fingers picking the strings. It makes it a lot clearer for someone like myself to actually see what is happening.
Mel

Really nice Roy. I enjoyed that.
Mel

Hi Doug, just watched your video and thought it was fantastic. I really enjoyed it as I do all of your songs that you post. Keep them coming.
Mel

Thanks Wayne for watching the video. I do run the cable through a volume pedal then to the amp even though I rarely use it and you are correct I didn't use it on this song. Thanks again for your comme ...

Hi Jim, thanks for watching. The tuning is Alkire Eharp and it's (from Hi to Lo) E, C#, B, A, G#, G, F#, F, E, C#.

This is my latest attempt at playing a song on the Eharp Steel. The song is "The One Rose" and the arrangement is from Doug Beaumier's book of 25 songs for C6. I transcribed it to suit the A ...
