Great playing, as always, but I cannot hear this melody without singing Pat Donohue's "Sushi Song."

Great dexterity, Jesse. Nice tone too.

Beautiful sound,Jim. No amp. Amazing, I have to look into this.

Yes, and a lot of people will denigrate the system as mere "dots."

Nice design and neat work, Bill. I like the mass and set of the aluminum nut.

We can always count on you to produce great music, Mike!

If by doing TAB in a word processor, you mean like Open Office or MS Word, I don't know, but TuxGuitar works well enough for me, and its free.

I am thinking Robert Crumb material.

I suppose it is good to have this kind of entry level information out there. But he insists on using the term lap-steel as if that is what it was called between 1900 and 1950. He is also reluctant to ...

Great stuff, Jim! Thanks.

I would get the Ernie Ball pedal going. The method of spraying the spindle, in the hope the lube will get down to the problem, is wishful thinking. If the pot is newish, and has no lube port, I would ...

Fabulous music! and a veritable National Fest!

Thanks guys. Maria Elena has been done in several different styles. I think it was originally a waltz. I just used the most convenient backing.

Thanks for the kind words. It's not as slick as I would like, but hey, what's a few clams between friends?

Some really beautiful material here. Great guitar tone. Not the usual Hawai'ian repertoire. Thanks.

Adjustable bridge. Terrific. Now you can really screw up your intonation.

While the show may be a bit silly

Spongebob silly!!! My sense of aesthetics is mortally offended!

hey Eric,
I bought a Jerry Byrd bar from you long long ago it seems (3/4" by 2 3/4"). I've since gone elsewhere for a bigger bar that suits my hand better but only because you'd stopped ma ...

Yes, I guess not all of the Dianas had O A H U for fretboard markers?

Love the dancer and her kika kila kane sitting under the palms with an Oahu amp. Must be on a long extension lead.

The sound of steel guitar recordings change in the 1950s too. Its like everything got really twangy. Santo and Johnny, perfect example. Give me the 1940s every time.

Without indulging in false modesty, I would guess I am one of the least accomplished players on the forum. But I practice a lot, every day, usually about three numbers. I think to be a musician, a per ...
