Wow! Nice job of packing. Thanks.

Johnie,
If they are still available I'll take the three Derby wide pedals.

The F#/C chord replacing C7 is known as a tri-tone substitution. It's very common in jazz. The progression would usually be be C7alt to F or Fm. F# is a tri-tone above or below C but can also be thoug ...

Since the days of figured bass chord changes are just as dependent on the bass note as they are on the chord. A C chord works fine against any chord that has a C chord in it, but the sound of C or the ...

No brawl. Sound always precedes theory. The OP was stating how he learned a C chord could substitute for an Am chord and vice versa and what the overall chord would be in that situation. There are ple ...

When you are playing by yourself C is C and Am is Am, but when you are playing in a combo the bass note your chord is played against is going to determine its overall tonality. A C chord played agains ...

Keeping the thread alive...my favorite sounding E9 instrumentals would be Canadian Sunset by Lloyd Green on Steel Rides and Wichita Lineman by Buddy Emmons on Suite Steel. The subtle use of overdubbin ...

Ummm...an Am6 chord uses the pitches A-C-E-F#. A m6 chord is a minor triad with a Major 6th added. It occurs naturally as a ii chord in a major key, so Am6 could occur as a ii chord in the key of G, o ...

When I first saw Katz in the early 70's he was playing in the Pacific northwest with R.C. Bannon using a Fuzzy (Excel) steel played through a black face Fender Super Reverb with one 15" speaker. ...

I see now that the MSA knee lever kits at Michael Yahl's site are all currently listed as "out of stock".

Michael Yahl makes knee lever kits for old MSA guitars. I added two knee levers and a 1/2 stop for my second string knee lever. Here's his site for MSA parts:

Thanks for the input Donny. Hopefully someone in the future that also has a Carter starter with the same problem can use the info gleaned from this thread to give them a better idea how best to repair ...

My student took his steel to a local guitar shop and had this nifty repair done for $40. The pedals now tune up and function like they should. Thanks Richard and Bob.

I thought I'd clarify my post by saying the portion under the B and C pedal that has been reattached flexes when pressure from the pedal is applied and makes it impossible to tune the B pedal properly ...

One of my students has a Carter starter with a broken pedal stop. The stop is just a 1/4" thick piece of wood I assume is glued to the body and has a split in it between the A and B pedal. I'm wo ...

Or these Dunlop picks...available in smaller quantities elsewhere and in other gauges. https://www.jimdunlop.com/nickel-silver-mini-fingerpicks-025-in/

I've used Nature's Miracle with good results.

If you go for the Fishman Nashville pickup I would suggest getting one premounted by Kent Schoonover into one of his modular spiders.

If the pickup was installed into a spider that wasn't designed for the pickup you might be experiencing the same problem I had with my first attempt. If the pressure against the pickup isn't equal the ...

Hi Rollie! Is your string breaking where it attaches to the tuning machine? One thing you might want to try is making sure the string has enough windings around the tuning machine to keep the string f ...

I doubt that pick is a Geipel zither pick. When the band is shaped to your thumb the blade is actually very short with a Geipel.

Here's my solution using a keyboard stand combined with a stool for stability and a place to hold my bar and capo for quick access. I added a shelf to the stool to hold my Jerry Douglas Aura Pedal and ...

Easier than making a wedge to hold the ball end in place when changing strings on my Derby is to use a rubber replacement eraser that goes on the end of a pencil.

Here's all I got for a manual:
