Is every lesson available to go back over and practice again. My mind forgets thing very easy. Lol

Well said Fred
Jerry Overstreet said it well also. I agree with him

I have never heard Emmons playing an ironing board but my guess would be it wouldn't sound the same as a push pull. Let me guess, which one would have a better tone. Hummmmm

Guitars sure do have different sound .
Checkk out David hartley on the shobud
he is super player and always sounds good but just listen to that shobud
Deep rich thick sound
To me it's the ...

Hi guys
I have a question if you would be so kind to answer.
If I leave my lil Izzi plunged into the steel does it wear the battery down when not in use

Beautiful outstanding and professional.......top of the heap. Wicked good

I am sorry for being so naive but, what is the difference between the regular Rittenberry and the Prestige one? Improvements or quality.
Is there a difference in price?

Hi Nigel

I have a ? about prp and rp. Why does the rp have black fingers?

Thanks for your input guys
What tuning do you guys use... Maybe I'll play with this thing for awhile

Hi Jon
Thanks for replying. I have been doing some searching on this site and there is lots of info on these Silver Hawaiian steels. I am not sure if I want to buy this thing and will probably put it ...

Hello to all you non pedalers
My neighbor just brought me over a lap steel. He wants to sell it. Its a Rickenbacher Electro
I beleive it to be a pre war model Silver Hawaiian. The 1.5 wide pickup is ...

I feel no pressure to sell my steels but I was wondering if it was prudent to keep them. I do not believe that they will be worth a large sum in the future. Plus I do not live in the future,I live in ...

OK I'll bite

Why? Chris

Well Pete
I said most all not all. But you are right, I shouldn't jump to that conclusion..
The number of steels a player has does not a steeler make.
It seems like 2 steels is a good number. One ...

Well John and Doug
I don't know about the investment idea. I haven"t struck it rich yet by hoarding steel guitars. I think that we all love steels so much that it clouds our minds and we think ...
