His son David called me today too and we chatted. So many jam sessions he was a staple at. I have a video of him demoing his talk box at one of those:

What do we like today for tuners? I'm in the market and there's several great and affordable options. And even clip-ons which I'm wary of (saw the other post.)

Looks like this hasn't hit the news wires yet. Sorry to hear. Loved his music and shook his hand once...

Cool! Can I be 21? Or I can pay. I don't care!

I'm curious to know what kind of tension you might have on that instrument. What's your tuning and string gauges?

I ask because I'm a new owner of an eight string reso and I'm exploring my ...

Just to be clear, I'm mainly interested in the string gauges. I love my tuning! (As you well know, Bilal, my brother!)

My name was dropped Cool

Any of the gauges +/- .002 mentioned above will get you where you'd like.

Hey, all. Advice needed:

I'm trying a C6/A7 Low F tuning on a Gold Tone Paul Beard 8-string resonator.

The reso was designed for a G6 tuning but I prefer C6 so I adapted strings from a Beard G6 ...

I wish sacred steel or otherwise was still represented at FAI here in KC.

The first couple years there was a presence but not currently.

Still I'll be there with my 8-string reso, ready to jam.

Gold Tone Beard or the like.

I'm a pedal and lap steel player and I wanna swing acoustic style too.

Wow. So good, Mike. Very inspiring as always.

I'd love to hear that

I'm excited to see if I can finish it in a year.

Oh I didn't say I was finished! Shocked

I'm on my second pass through it now.

I'd love to be in a study group of steel players for this book. ...

Right, Mike! I am working on the math. Mark Levine's The Jazz Book has been my music bible for the last year. (Digesting one verse at a time!)

C6 seems designed for major scale harmony chords but ...

Are melodic minor chords for jazz threory possible within the realm of C6 tunings?
I intend to find out - starting with a C minor major 7.

Is there any general difference in performance between McKenna and Beard Gold Tone?

Hey all, I'm interested in buying a Beard Gold Tone 8-string reso.
