I'm the last guy to crack open an amp, but I did the install of the chips in my NV1000 and it went off without a hitch. It took about 25 minutes and that was with me being as meticulous as possible. R ...

Second that. The new chips made a world of difference.

Am lefty and play lefty steel...lefty.

The sight alone freaks out band members and is a tribute to Roy Thomas who painstakingly put my steel together.

Bruce- I'm in.

A Mr. Roy Thomas special. Love it.

Rusty is a very cool person and easy to talk to. I've had the privilege of visiting with him a few times and he's a lot of fun.

Like Herb, I was at those Troubador shows as well back in the day. I ...

Make it count, son!

I agree that you'll get a hundred different answers on this. I have a couple of amps for steel but the NV100 is the most expensive.

By that I mean when I crank it to 8 or so, the wife heads for the ...

Being a life-long lefty and owning 15 guitars including one of Mr. Roy Thomas' pedal steels; the pursuit of left handedness and obtaining instruments to accomodate this has turned into quite an ambiti ...

I'm just another advocate of the Shure SM57 because it works and if you drop it from four or five feet; it still works. When it finally gives out you can replace it for under a C-note.

Rusty Young on "What Am I Going to Do?" on Poco's From the Inside album.

Poco is stil fronted by Rusty Young and Paul Cotton. Young, of course is an original member and Cotton replaced Jim Messina in 1970.

Tell Bobbe to jump start you with some of his DVDs. They are very informative and I've used a lot of them. He is such a cool guy that he might even throw in one of his CDs on the deal.

Wasn't on steel, but was on mandolin for this bluegrass group. I played left-handed and I guess was somewhat of a novelty. The majority of the band at the time were in their 40's and I was still in co ...

The question was what was Rusty's dobro tuning- if memory serves, I asked him several years ago and I believe the answer is an open G tuning. The first Poco record was almost all detuned a half step.

The guy is really a genius when it comes to mixing all those instruments and parts. There was a time when he had tht Melobar going as well. He called it "The Bear."

Even in many of his la ...

Poco in Los Angeles in 1968. My friend and I snuck into the Troubador and hung around the stage area. I had never seen a steel played live before and Rusty Young was incredible. I think he was playing ...

Count me in for one too. This looks cool.

My earliest exposure was from a record my mom gave me that had Carl Smith, Lefty Frizzell, and Ray Price on it. Tons of steel, but I didn't know what it was. The next time I heard the instrument was w ...

Well as the old Spoonful song said, "Anyone who unpacks his guitar can play twice as better than I will."

Bobbe, my man, make that a thousand times better. Nothing but praise to our Lord, ...

Get in touch with Mr. Roy Thomas at Pedalmaster guitars. He does not charge extra for lefties. I bought mine from him a few years ago. Fine product and a fine gentleman. Some companies will deal with ...

My steel instructor showed me how to gently shape the pick to fit the curvature of my finger by using a pair of needle nose pliers. I tried with just my fingers and the pliers did a much better job o ...

For those who know Bobbe (and that number is huge), his uplifting spirit and genuine friendship is worth more than all the tips I could get watching his videos. He is the player's player. Whether you ...
