I have two thoughts.

The problem you're seeing where you can't reach a target pitch can also be caused by an overtuned nut. Maybe this isn't the deal since you're probably taking the nut off every ...

Are you talking about the tag where they sing "I am just a fool...?"

If so, 10th fret:
strings 3 and 4
1 and 2
5A and 4
5 and 4

Slide down to the A chord in the 5th fret. The go ba ...

Hi, Don. You do not need the rods to be parallel to the deck of the guitar.

The different holes in the changer provide a fine-tuning adjustment of sorts to the leverages. Just as different slots on ...

Thanks for posting, Pete.

Love the musicians David has put together and the track selection on that video. It all hits the sweet spot.

Good job, Rick. I like your tone too.

Does anyone know what might be the secret sauce on that sweet steel sound?
Yes. Hire a saavy producer. Very Happy

This solo is double-tracked, which is easiest to detect by listening to each channel s ...

Something like that could work for the steel's body... but man, you would have to baby it while moving it around since there just isn't much padding.

I might sell my 1994 sho bud pro III (aluminum neck).
I assume that's a typo and you mean 1974?

My opinion: if the guitar was on this side of the Atlantic, it would sell for about $2500 (and shi ...

Glad it worked out for you, Daniel.

Welcome aboard.

A GFI will be fine in the studio -- as will any other currently-made guitar. The important thing for studio work is that you consider a humbucking pickup to keep it dead-quiet. But ...

Hi, Joseph. All things being equal between magnet type and wiring, and method used for winding and so forth...a hotter-output pickup should produce a warmer, fatter tone.

Keep in mind that the amp, ...

Looks like you're set, but for anyone else in the market, I recently got one of these Ambitful padded camera-tripod bags. Works great holding the leg bag and pedal bar, and didn't break the bank:

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I know a bunch of these songs, but not all... so now, I'm off to listen.

Good stuff, Fred. Let no one say the subject was not thoroughly covered. I learned a lot.

Agreed that it's good to lube the roller, but I don't think this is hysteresis caused by a sticky roller: in that case, raises come back flat.

But in this situation, raises are coming back sharp.

Hi, Ross. I can't speak to the long term solution (for when you want to learn C6), but for now, you can just remove that pedal rod.

Yes, there is binding. It's just a matter of finding where it is.

To check if it's the changer rather than something in the pull chain, take a pen or a small screwdriver and push on the end of the ...

It says "Beanjudge," which is his handle on social media. Maybe it refers to judge Roy Bean ("law west of the Pecos")?

Lee, the front of his guitar says "Puro Pedal."

¡Claro que sí! Couldn't agree more.

Love the solo on this one:
