Bobbe's a good man. He's got my vote!

I've been using E13 (E C# B G# E D)with great results. Works real well for blues, swing and straight country. The most important thing though is captureing the "feel" for the blues and I truely beleiv ...

I think the guy has tunnel vision. How can something be obsolete if it's still being used? What about the Country Swing bands, Hawaian bands, and people like Jr. Brown, Cindy Cashdollar, Jerry Bird ec ...

Hey Jerry, Where can I find Joes web page? I do some work for NPR and I would like to do a show featuring him. Thanks, in advance. Ziggie

I would recomend one of the lower priced GFI pedal steel guitars. I have a ShoBud and a GFI and they are both set up the same. The GFI is light, easy to carry around, sounds great and plays great. It ...

I use something a bit different. It's called a WoodPicker. It's very cheap. I get them for about $35. Most transducer pickups all do the same thing. I found out it's more in the preamp then the actua ...

I own a GFI student model with 3 pedals and 1 knee lever and it's got everything on it to keep me busy for a lifetime. It sounds great and is great for the road because it's so light and easy to carry ...

I would go for any lap steel that sounds reasonably good. There's a lot of music you can get out of them and they take up very little room. ziggie (Don Zeitler)

I would check out an older model also. Just make sure it has some nice 'n' hot pickups on it. I would also suggest E13 tunning over the E tunning. E13 swings a whole lot more. I think you would enjoy ...

Bobbe is a good man and a very busy man. I was at his shop a week ago and he was very helpful. Thanks bobbe! The Zigmeister

I like E13. DEG#BC#E It's very versatile. Try it.

I personally didn't like G tunning and finally ended up with E13. It's very bluesy plus I can do a lot of nice country and swing things with it. I'll never go back to G tunning now. E13 opened all the ...

I was at Elderlys just this past tue. and seen this guitar. It didn't look bad for a homemade job. I wasn't interested in 10 strings, but if would've had 8 I would have snatched it up myself.

Hi Al! Great to hear from you again! What are you doing with your tunning? I'm very interested in your pedal setup for E13. I'm going low to high. DEG#BC#E I have thought of using this tunning with p ...

Hi David,
I've had pedal steels for a few years and got a dobro just a few years back. I never enjoyed G tunning much so I was always looking for something different. Well, about 4 months ago I cam ...

Hey Jeff, does that mean I have to pick a number? Ziggie

My goal would be to make whatever song or tune I'm playing on sound sweet. That doesn't mean I have to be a superpicker either. I just wanna make it all sound right for the tunes I'm playing on. Playi ...

I've been playing fiddle for about 8 years. I got the Cajun bug really bad when I was gigging in Louisiana a few years back so now I have a Cajun and Zydeco band in up here in the north country. Most ...

Hey Bobbe, Congradulations! I'm on my fourth. I always seemed to end up with bar flies. Bad idea! I ended up with some MEAN women. I called marraige an occupational hazzard, (for a musician) for a lon ...

Hey Mike, You say Mike Nesmith plays steel? I'm a believer! He's the one Monkee that I really liked. Ziggie

Well I just tell everyone that "I'm right and the rest of the world is wrong." Oh well, I can always get a monkee with a tin cup and play steel on the streets? The only reason I would have the monkee ...

I always told people when asked what I do that I get on a stage and make a lot of noise, act silly in front of people, and I'm also allowed to drink like a fish, (if I wanted to, but not likely to), a ...

Just another added note. I do a fair amount of radio work and when I'm doing something live they always like me to bring the Hula Blues because everyone at the station claims it has the best sound ove ...

If you're playing bottleneck guitar it's just fine. It has a smaller cone and a lot tighter sound. More high end comming out of it. High end is great for blues. Smaller body guitars work nice also. I ...
