I loaded a song into the Amazing Slow Downer App and got a notice that Apple Music no longer allows songs to be sped up or slowed down. Has anyone found a work around? Or had luck changing the speed ...

Thanks Joe, I usually play C6 or C13th but A6 is great for some sounds. I wrote it down in case anyone is interested.

I've always enjoyed listening to Billy Tonneson's playing on this Frank Sinatra tune. It was recorded in 1949 and Billy was very young and quite nervous but sounds strong and authoritative in his play ...

I have one of those and was set on changing the pickup but then I tried raising it closer to the strings and that really improved things. Just take it out and put a foam pad or maybe a wooden block un ...

I like it! I always loved that album, especially Dark Circles, and remember trying to pick up some things from it some years ago but stumbling a bit. Might have a go at it again one of these days.

Daniel, it's an early 70s Vibrolux with the original Oxford speakers. I had more powerful Webers in there for years but the Oxfords sound really sweet when high volume isn't needed. I used an Xotic EP ...

Thanks Daniel and Jean-SÃ©bastien, I appreciate you taking the time to listen. Iâ€™m really happy with the sound of bandmates as well as Clinesmith frypan. Anything that makes you sound better ...

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

I really like mine and have used it for direct recording and for band rehearsals where I connected it to a Toob Metro cabinet with good results. I use it more often than my tube amps for practicing at ...

Nice job on that Jules Ah See solo Nic. I really like the looks of those black frypans and would probably go for a black 7 string if I didn't already have a satin finished 6 stringer that sounds and f ...

John Ely's arrangement of Bubbles in my Beer was my gateway drug.

How wonderful that you chose to include this tune. It's been a longtime favourite of mine and your scaled down approach here fits it perfectly. Good job!

Never heard this version before, sounds great. I've played Bernie Kaai's original version in C6th and it lays out really well in that tuning. Pretty sure Bernie played in that as well. Benny however ...

e on top/ F on the bottom: .014 .017 .020 .024 .030 .036 .042 .054

I use those exact gauges for C13th except my bottom note is usually a low C .068. Sometimes Iâ€™ll use a high G instead and t ...

Who was the steeler with Gary Aiko on Hi'ilawe? Looks like he switched between a T8 and D8 Stringmaster on stage...in the same song...lol. 5 necks!?

It's difficult to find reliable info (and I certainly could be way off) but I always figured it was Barney and Danny Stewart playing on this one.

You can stream the whole album on Apple Music or buy it from iTunes. Itâ€™s been a favorite for quite some time now. Best version of Mapuana Iâ€™ve heard.

I may be mistaken but it sounds to me like he's playing an E tuning here. Probably straight E major as in Steel Guitar Rag, possibly E7th. Those low notes don't go below the open E string in pitch.

It looks like David Keli'is G11 tuning on strings 7-2 (B-D-F-A-C-E)

Nice find!

Nice, thanks Kevin.

I just noticed that if you take strings 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1 and lower them a half step it's Sol Hoopii's C#m7 tuning(basically E6). Add strings 6 and 5 that are the b7 and 9th respectively and you get F1 ...
