I wouldn't be too surprized if GFI told you to pound sand.

I always wanted to write a tune in "Chet-Atkins-Style". So here it is: "Chetkins"

That about the sweetest steel playing I've heard and nice guitar picking too. Love you style

I'd get one of the new Gretsches. I just found out about them today, I think I'll order one and trade my Beaver Creek in.

Wow!! That was really nice. Is this song tabbed out anywhere?

Thanks Alan, for your email too. I'm struggling some getting used to the concept, but it is enlightening.

The C6 tuning and the open G tuning used on Dobros for bluegrass only differ by the additional string. Otherwise the intervals are the same.

Alan, could you explain this a little? I'm having tro ...

Wow! You guys are awesome, thanks so much.

I'm working my way through the Basic C6 and have heard that I'm supposed to have my thumb in the end for slants. Does this mean ALL slants? My thumb isn't so long, finding it easier to do forward slan ...

Ok, I had it set to repeat. Got it. Sure did miss it.

I pasted the link into file url and It plays, however it plays only one short song over and over, and over again. Nice tune though.

That was awesome. Loved it. Nice to see such great sounds out of a lapsteel.

Is this a good deal? I can't buy it but maybe one of you guys might be interested. It's Canadian dollars, so it would be considerably cheaper using USD.

Some good ideas here. Thanks a lot guys. I wonder how a Pbass pickup would work as it's split into 2 parts? Maybe they could be angled a bit to get the proper string spacing?

I'd like to build a starter 8 string sort of like the SX sixstring but with 8 strings, kind of a rough project. Is there an elcheapo Chinese pickup available. I will only use one pickup. I've been che ...

Very fine playing

I wonder how many (newer)players don't know this stuff?

Thanks Andy, that helps a lot. Very thorough explanation.

I'm trying to learn C6 lapsteel using Dewitt Scott's "Basic C6 Nonpedal Lapsteel Method"....on page 34 of the book the heading is More Runs and Fills. In the 2nd example (#13) you play the 1 ...

"in the second measure on the second staff, you need a C again for the lower note. You can do that with a 6-5 slant on the second and third strings"

-Do you mean 4th and 2nd strings??

This would be interesting, any help out there?

Has anybody ever seen tab for this song? I'm pretty new to the instrument (working with some books/CD's/DVD's) and I thought this old tune would be nice and slow and not too hard to get down.
