I would like to see this Ultimate Steel Guitar Forum with the following conditions:
1) Must like and play only traditional country music
2) Must all play the same brand PSG
3) Must all tune the same--Emmons setup
4) No speed pickers allowed
5) No dealers or steel manufacturers except the one we all use
6) Must be at least 60 years of age or older
7) Must all be from the South--at least south of the North Pole
 No groups or clicks
9) Must wish everyone Happy Birthday--not just the super pros
10) No bagpipe or banjo players--we must keep this elite
11) Anyone can join that is not a steel guitar player just so they don't know more about music than we do
12) The purpose of this Forum is to share thoughts and information about steel guitar--Joe |

Joe,
This forum would be downright boring if we couldn't disagree on what the correct way to tune is. And everyone knows it sounds better and stays in tune better when it's a black guitar of any kind except......! |

Joe! Great idea but as b0b states, he's tried to remain flexible.
I especially like your thot's on having to be OVER 60! Great qualifier!
But, if I was on YOUR forum, would I have to terminate my rehersals for a new wave sound group with whom I'm hoping to hit the big time? We've got dual banjers, one 1st chair bagpiper, a female that plays/doubles on triangle and tamborene BUT she's got a great personality and her cuz'n Martha that twirls batons with fire on the ends....with the lights out. I tho't we just might have a chance but I sure wouldn't want to miss out on your NEW Forum! COuld you make some exceptions for my "special interest group"? |

I'm not even you're getting up to speed picker!!!.Happy birthday Everyone..but I'de like to skip a few or 4,5,6,7,8.......
Who can define traditional country music..!The Eagles used to be more in the Rock genre..NOW THEY are considered country..and maybe close to traditional..etc...etc...etc.....

Not to get into a urinating contest, but ya gotta lean a fond ear to the pipes. They work well with the steel..........depending on if they're in tune of coarse.
