Topic: Zoom meeting for mechanical issues? |

Just a suggestion for players who seek help on the Forum when something isn’t working on their guitar and can’t quite get it done themselves. It seems like a Zoom meeting would get many issues resolved much quicker than starting a thread that sometimes goes on for days. It would be all up to the person volunteering to help, of course, but maybe a business opportunity too, for someone with as much entrepreneurial spirit as mechanical experience.
If someone is already doing this, how about an advertisement here? I live out in the styx, and could have used you a couple months ago. |

I think that is a great idea!

| As an option maybe. But I learn a lot from other people's issues with their guitars. Seems kind of like the purpose of an open forum. Stuff I know or am bored with or don't have anything to add to maybe I just don't click on. It might be more efficient having a Zoom meeting for some things but I'd hate to see it all go private for a fee kind of thing. |

Oh I totally agree. I am not a fan of the whole fee based thing. The instrument got where it is today by players sharing knowledge, licks, capabilities and resources. The community will someday lose all of that. I am saddened by that realization.

Maybe I should have emphasized the volunteering thing a little more. It is very true that most of what goes on here is offered without commerce getting in the way. A Zoom meeting would take somewhat more of a commitment though, so it is not unreasonable to think a small fee might be in order for particularly difficult or complex issues, perhaps in the form of a donation in the event of a problem actually being solved.
The whole idea of an online Forum is a technological marvel. I don’t believe adding an innovation every once in a while - and one that is becoming more commonplace - is going to diminish the spirit in which it was conceived. |

| Fred, don't get me wrong I'm not really anti-Zoom or anything. And I think if someone offers to do that in a situation to help...great. Paid or unpaid. I've been on forums before though reading discussions that I'm interested in that are only concluded with someone saying "Do a search" with little further discussion of the issue at hand. Well if all that comes up in a search is that someone signed up for a Zoom session then few get anything out of it and the answers are more or less private. I could foresee that becoming more & more common of an answer. "Do a zoom session with...." That's all I mean by "defeats the purpose of a forum. |

WEll as much as I do/work on with mechanics of Sho~bud pedal steels; I have already ran into 5 probs with every single part of a pedal steel. You can throw all 1000 parts of a D-10 Sho~bud in a hole and I can tell you where and what every part does/should do/can do/ will do if its like this!!!
But I'm a NO Nerd phone type dude with Apple this or Apple that....so Zoom is tuff on android phone(I don't have camera on my computer; as I lost it way back when I stopped skyping.
So; I not saying no...if someone has a prob. they just can't solve...you can zoom me....I can see what's wrong in 1 minute and tell you 4 things to fix it...ha....
512-694-3139.....text me for a zoom time and we'll go from there....I'll give it a whirl...heck; what else is there to do...I can't go play music...I just got over Covid-19; so can't really go anywhere while I still test positive...so bring it on.

I might have to do that with you Ricky! That'd be a lot of help while I'm working on this steel of mine.
