Steve, Tony Prior is in the Mint Hill ,Matthews area ,,, Look him up on the Forum,,,

thanks - I've already contacted Tony P . He only does pedal steel lessons.

Does anyone know of anyone in the Charlotte, NC area that I might get some lap steel lessons from.

I'm in the Mint Hill area and a beginner still!

thanks for any help!

i googled pentatonic scales and i think i understand the concepts pretty well, at least as far as how to play them on a regular 6 string guitar

That tunings great for rock and blues, especially if you are a guitar player. Open "E" with a couple of extra strings. all the rock licks, duane, derek, and elmore licks are right there. go ...

Thanks everybody for the tips so far!

I tried tuning the low D down to C#, first thing I noticed was the Gene Autry Drifting Along With the Tumbleweed bassline. Pretty cool. With the D there I get ...

Well I think that I've found a tuning that I can sorta relate to, at least as far as a fretted guitar is concerned.

Sold to a good guy in Nashville.

I suppose that I'm mostly interested in rock, blues, folk, old country. Maybe some Hawaiian (depends on the song).

Just what was it about the Fender 400/1000 that made it so much better and popular than the Multi-Kord. If you had the same tuning and changes on both why was the Fender accepted more. Just kind of wo ...

For the time being I'm using the .056-.013 strings and a 17mm sparkplug socket about 2 1/2 x 7/8 at least until I can get something better.

Thanks guys for the advice. As soon as my back pocket can I plan on checking out all of your suggestions and offers. All of the links were great!

Yes, I made very sure that I got a black one!!! Does Metalic Black play as good as a regular Buddy black one would?

Well did I mess up?

I ordered the Artsian, a 2 DVD Cindy Cashdollar instruction set, a monster straight to angle guitar cable, and a Musician Friends Lab Steel starter kit.

Thanks for the advice. Is the Artisan similar to the Carter Starter as far as its purpose is concerned?

Sorry - meant to type Artsian EA-2

thanks again

Steve

Just starting out on lap steel. Totally new. How do the Artisan EA-1 and Goldtone compare? Is an shorter or longer scale length better or worse to start out with?

All advice is welcome and needed!!
