Sorry about the quality of that video Rick. I threw it up here before checking it through. He obviously had better things to do than point the camera at the musicians on stage. I love the minute of d ...

Hey Rick,

Love those real "on-the-road" special stories and having Steve Miller and Jeff Kearns drop in for an afternoon is up there. Right on!

Thanks for posting! I remember when ...

I am enjoying this informative and somewhat controversial C6th discussion. But when it came full circle after reading all the posts, I like the opinions that there are no dated or wrong tunings for r ...

Well done Doug!

Beautiful chording and great picking! Shows that both styles can be used on the same song (in deference to the great discussion on C6th and other tunings) One of my Pa's favorite tu ...

Great Mike,

I close my eyes and I see Duane and the boys doing "Statesboro Blues". Beautiful tone on your low end as Len mentioned. Then the high stuff. Nicely done. Inspirational. Tr ...

This is Herb Steiner from a not too old thread from 2012 and I'm wondering if he ever finished that instruction course or cd that was mentioned in that thread.
Great playing Herb Steiner! Maestro ...

Hey Jan,

I haven't given up yet. I just have a real busy life right now and I'm still hung up on the 3rd modulation; gets pretty jazzy in there. So, I'll just put up what I have (skipping the 3r ...

All my condolences and respect to the family and friends of Bobby Seymour. I've watched a lot of youtubes with him playing so sweet. Nice viddy Andy. Kinda sets the tone and brings one close to tea ...

HI DOUG,

Welcome to the pickup and a board life. Good luck finding a steel guitar teacher in Texas. I doubt you'll have any problem with that! Must be an arroyo full of 'em!
I would get Andy' ...

Awesome! Wow, I love Bach's arrangements like "Bouree" and this "Chaconne" because of their wild minors and ageless sounds. Your playing is beautiful. Where did you find the cho ...

Thanks Pete,

You've defined my search parameters greatly. This will do for now and it wasn't a great expense. Thanks for the expansive info!

Close but no cigar. I see now because although octagonal and with pointer in white outline, it is too small. fits over the stem but does not clear the nut and washer. Therefore it sits a 1/4" ...

Hi forumites,

Following the great advice this forum offers, I waited patiently and found what I think is the correct volume dial for this lap steel. Although advertised as a Gibson dial from the s ...

Welcome Kevin,

I hadn't perused before I posted and didn't realize that there are far more than Ricks posted on this site, and, as of some time last year, as updated then, these guitars are either ...

Very groovy Mike. Sweet and laid back. Could almost feel the night winds surrounding your environs. Always been one of my favorites and you do it justice. Keep 'em coming.

I just stumbled across this site, which shows a couple of early Rick features including an 4 chrome plate B6 numbered B-36. Really?

Whose playing the steel with Frankie? Mr. Sinatra. Smooth gentleman. Great steel. Who dat be?

Thanks Jan,

I've got a friend bringing a Tascam over next week and I'll record my version played on a Rick B6, yeah, in DADF#AD. I'll play the two riffs, and then maybe you an help me with the 3rd ...

Awesome!

Hope it's still in good shape. Thanks for the great concert footage Andrea.

Was searching for something else and spotted this nice little amp for 300 in Michigan somewhere near Ann Arbor, where my American cousins used to live. Thought someone might be interested. Not sure ...

Hey Andy,

That sucks. Kind of you to post here; perhaps it will show up on CraigsList or somewhere and all these extra set of eyes will catch the fool. Where is he gonna sell it eh? What a beau ...

Hey J-S,

I am fairly inpressed at the sound and the price of Tremblay lap steels. The more guitar-looking one has a nice range of sound for 569.00 new. The more standard looking one has a Fender- ...

Good grief Jan!

Really well done! That will be hard to match! Thanks for the backing track info cause I didn't want to do it free form, although I might get our bassist and drummer to back me up. ...

Nice playing Steve! Really dig that jazzy blues or..bluesy jazz!

HI John,

Sounds like music that I like to play. I have a Rick Bakelite from 1935-37 and it is great for rock and blues. My other slide is a National Chicagoan 1954. This one has the PU known coll ...
