I was hoping to hear a report on Doug and Gary playing at the NTSGA on their diatonic tuning. If anybody was there please tell us about it.
Thanks.

| They will also be playing at the GSGA show here in INDY on May 4th and 5th. I'm not sure which day but they are going to give it a try. Come and be with us and you can no doubt ask them questions about the tuning. Our concert info can be found at www.gospelsteel.com. |

| Danny, is that a pedal or a non-pedal guitar tuning? I've never heard of it before. I must be living too sheltered a life! I need to get out more! |

Doug,
This is a special setup and tuning developed by Doug Jernigan and Gary Adams which is being used on a 12 string pedal steel guitar.
This is something that Doug and Gary have been working on for some time now, and is very unique.
I haven't gotten all of the details about it yet, but I'll talk to Doug about it the next time I see him, and see if I can get more details to pass along to the interested parties here. |

And on Fessenden guitars. The opening in the changer end looks larger than standard, has Jerry went to a quad raise changer maybe?

Gary's guitar has more pedals. I want that one.

Very interesting set up.
I want to hear a clip.
I played one tune with Jerry Bergonzi at a jazz jam,
the cat scared the pants of me.
He was mentioned in the article in b0b's link

| Always up for hearing about new tunings especially if its something these two are pursuing, it has to be pretty capable of Jazz and I would think country too. Is this the first time this tuning has come up on the forum? Hopefully someone will post a pedal chart in the near furture? |

Thanks for your interest in the avenger tuning. Gary and I came up with this tuning approximately 36 years ago while we were working with Johnny Paycheck.
We are still experimenting with the pedal and knee lever setup. I will post the copedent shortly after we finalize it.
I will say the tuning lends itself to 7 or 8 knee levers and hopefully 5 foot pedals. About half of the knee levers will be split tuned.
Gary and I hope to have a CD out for ST Louis showcasing the tuning.
Thanks again!

Any further word on this?
I would think any time a player of Jernigan's caliber proposes a new tuning idea it would generate more interest. |
