Thought I closed this ... traded at a guitar show a couple of weeks ago.

I think Nashville broke Willie from the slick, overproduced sound. When he cut the Red Headed Stranger album, it was so stripped down that the suits thought Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain was a demo. H ...

Looks good. I totally agree on the tweed Tremolux amp. I had an original '58 - beat to hell, but great. I kept the original speaker but put in an EV SRO for actual use. I used it with a '57 Magnatone ...

Practice fundamentals on your lap stseel. Tuning your steel by ear. Bar control and playing in tune. Picking technique and grips. Blocking - palm, pick, whatever. Using a volume pedal. Getting a good ...

With due respect, I largely disagree with a good chunk of what Jim's videos argue. There is, of course, merit in trying to figure out what actually influences the sound coming out of a guitar, an amp, ...

On the OP's topic - um, it seems to me that Willie has done pretty well for himself following his own nose. I see no indication that he has any type of steel-phobia, and has used it plenty. But I have ...

I can't help you on other sources for Blue Hercos. But I jettisoned them when I discovered Fred Kelly Delrin picks. I generally use the white Regulars for pedal steel and sometimes for nonpedal steel, ...

I echo my admiration for Pete. A true original - often imitated, never duplicated. I had my young, green, wannabe blues guitar guy mind blown when I saw him with the Burritos opening up for the Byrds ...

If you're worried about pole-to-pole width, a blade pickup like the Lawrence 705 is a good choice. I really like the original chrome-surround 705s from the 80s, but they have been out of production fo ...

If you reduce size to below 2400x2400, they should work. I use around 1200x1200, plus or minus to maintain the dimensional ratio, and the resolution is just fine.

Whole thing is great - and the steel is heavy in the mix all the way through. I know some people were complaining about Paul not being present enough in a different live mix a while back. Meh, everyth ...

That's great you have Toy's Marlen, Tommy.

Yeah, I know people complain about some pitchiness in Toy's steel playing on Fire On The Mountain. You know, I hear it, and it doesn't matter. That song h ...

Isnt it just called a "six string" or flattop or archtop?
Not all guitars are six-strings, nor are they all flattop or archtop. It's a guitar, pure and simple. A steel guitar is a steel gui ...

Cut the photo resolutions to below 2048x2048. Lots of threads in Forum Feedback about this. I use around 1200x1200 plus or minus, onscreen resolution is fine.

As for the terminology, it’s all about utility for me. Armpit Guitar is (IMHO) the most useful way to differentiate on SGF since the default guitar here is a steel guitar.
No, it's not. And I do no ...

Nyet. For me, console for more than one neck. I even prefer a single neck on legs, but the ones I like are lap steels, so I deal with it. I don't really wanna drill holes in them.

Nor have I ever seen a plain string on string 7 F#. And IMO, for good reason - really heavy plain strings sound bad to me. I sometimes get these Ernie Ball "Not Even Slinky" guitar sets that ...

To address the actual point of the thread, without the red flag that attracts the bull - I can't understand why a lifelong guitar player would give up guitar simply because they start playing steel gu ...

Timeless. Amazing how some things never change, generation to generation to generation. And I never disagree with Steve about who played on what, LOL.

I think the great Marty Robbins used the term Arm pit guitar. I always thought it a strange term.
