I do believe Allen is in love and who could blame him. Very Happy

Define Actually Play. Does this run the range from Paul Franklin to the clammy hand, bar dropping, oops wrong knee, get back on the horse and try again eternal newbie? Shocked

Absolutely! Theoretically, multiplayer music is a collaborative effort. Playing in tune rates up there with every one playing the correct chords/notes at the correct time - playing the same song toget ...

Could the loss of tone be due to proximity to a tone deaf lead singer?

It's really impossible to buy the Best guitar without sitting down and playing many. What are the goals? What kind of music? There is a brand I know that sits very nicely in any mix with very little t ...

Had to be that Camo painted guitar. The right notes were hidden. Oh yeah, Some nights I leave the notes at home and have to make do with what's left.

I have a Sierra with no sustain at all. If I don't use a compressor, it rings like clay. It's a S12 set up as a 10 string 3/5. I'm always new at it and 10 is enough. The other pedals are long gone, ho ...

Another who strolled into the the Sho-Bud store was Eric Clapton. He bought several Strats. Gave away a couple and used the rest to assemble his Blackie which he used through the 70's and early 80's.

I keep my amp mic'd in an isolated closet wrapped in blankets. Mic into a cheap compressor then into a mixer. This mess goes to my stereo. The compressor prevents the raw sound from the amp from poofi ...

Hang in there. Don't try to play like Mr. Emmons or Mr. Franklin. One goal is to play what is in your head. I don't know if you want to play only Country or are open to other styles. Try learning Hend ...

Hi fellas.
Just a little playfulness dealing with learning this great instrument. There are times when nothing goes right. Trying to learn a song by ear and forget where the minors and 7ths are. I've ...

I've been making noise on my steel just a month and spend a lot of time with it. I write out charts to help me find notes and chords, which strings, pedals and levers do what. At the end of an evening ...

It was Lloyd Maines on the live Pickup truck song.

Yup. Lloyd Maines defined perfection with every note in that song.

A bad Jerry on steel is better than decades of arena rockers skreeching away with a craftsman socket on the ring finger and a shrill Strat.

Hi, New Guy here.
I made it BIG after 35 years of struggling on 6 string. Last November I bought an inexpensive lapsteel. Now I have a solid, loyal fan base and get get requests. "Popaw Mike, play Blu ...

Hi, I'm a newbie and started on lapsteel november last year. Generally I dislike Rock slide guitar, all that skreeching and skrawing with the hopes of hitting the right note. My version of slide sound ...
