One more thing,- a big thanks to everybody who's sent me CD's, unfortunately I haven't had the energy or time to listen to them. I look forward to the day I can listen through them all! Cool

I'll be home for a couple of days next weeek, just to see how it works out it out. Hopefully this means I'll soon be moving home to my own apartement and start getting my old playing chops together. T ...

Dear Mr Supreme

An enthusiastic bump for a great CD! Kevin's playing is smooth and swinging with solid back up guitar from Gary Rudd on a set of very enjoyable tunes. Every player interested in acoustic steel should ...

Don't think I've ever heard Gregg play one single note that I didn't like, he's an amazing musician..

Ron,- tomorrow I'll have a thorough ultrasound scan, and I also have an appointment at an X-ray center in December. Hopefully they'll reveal if there's anything more serious going on.

Not meaning to hijack, but I just bought this one for bottleneck slide. Cost next to nothing, and after replacing the silly little pots with solid 500K's, it's got a killer bottleneck sound. Set the a ...

Hm... As far as I could hear he was playing what the song called for, often doubling the backing vocals with his lines. What else could he have done on such a 'busy' song? While he's certainly no virt ...

Abso-freakin-lutely amazing playing Mitch! One year, eh? Sounds more like 10 years to me... Very Happy

In the end - for me - it's always been about the music, not the instrument. When I got real passionate about lap steel, sometime around '03, I had reached a point as guitarist where I was sick and tir ...

Try a heavier string, I've tuned .012s to G and G# without issues..

Congratulations, that's one beautiful steel!

I'd recommend Pete Biltoft at Vintage Vibe Guitars, I'm very happy with his work. Here's the Stringmaster pickup:

Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Hipshot Trilogy bridge on that guitar?

Yes, that's a Trilogy bridge, and it would make retuning from C6 to E6 a breeze since they're fairly close:

C6 - - E ...

The recording is in the key of A and he's playing out of the 5th position, so that would indicate an E tuning.. E6?

Sounds great, Knut! So when and where will this be available?

Thanks for asking, Mike!

I'm sorry to say that I haven't touched a tonebar in about a month, for the time being it can only be described as a total meltdown. I have experienced variations in enthu ...
