Bo:

I posted a picture on a Facebook steel page just showing it off, really, when my friend Larry Bell answered, saying:

"If you ever want to sell it, I want first refusal!'

In a moment ...

I'm baffled by the names. I see TCA500C ir TCA 500: Are there different models?

Well said, Bob.

It's hard (impossible) to appraise your situation from what you've described. How old is the guitar? What is it?

I ask this because, many decades ago when I was first doing recording sessions in L ...

I'll concede that, Mike!

Very Happy

Dave

You found the right adjective and that's what troubles me about it.

It's vulgar.

I'm uncomfortable with vulgarity in any context.

Bob

In my case, I was proud that I came to be a go-to guy on guitar: specifically fingerstyle electric then, when the b-bender thing erupted, I was an early starter on that. It all got me some goo ...

Good post, Bob!

"...playing convincingly.."

What an apt phrase! It's what I managed to do, by playing in tune and staying within the boundaries of my technique.

The folks who booked ...

Wow! What a pretty guitar!

How is this still here??

Yes, Norman.

After much experimenting, I think the problem lies with a faulty headphone cord!!

I just substituted a lesser brand (I was using my Sony CH-somethings) that has the distinct advanta ...

Whilst I wasn't aware of the term 'Utility player' back in '73, I'm embarrassed to admit that, for quite a few years, I did treat steel as a second-alternate instrument.

Perhaps I was unfortunate ...

D7#11 is okay too, Dale. It's the A-lower that gives us the #11th.

Try the same thing on E9:
1,5,6,9 at the 10th with the B string lowered a half.

I was amused at Dave Mudgett's second photo. There MAY have been a time when I would have adopted such a theatrical stance while playing but, in 2024, things are very different.

Not quite, Dale, respectfully..

It's in C and the second chord is D9#11. Except that it's the 5th pedal along with lowering the As.

Try it: the melody is laying right in front of you.

If you ...

Howard:

What do you mean, 'line level'?

I normally send the sig-out to a second am (my Roland 80) but that's just for the luxury (and the illusion!) of stereo.

Surely there's a significant ou ...

Old P4 is probably the most redundant pedal, Dale. However, since amalgamating those two pulls, I found I had a 'spare' KL (MKV) - in any case, that A to B change sounds good with P5 so it's far from ...

If I mic the amp and use the mic input on the DP, there's too much noise (hum, Tele-buzz, etc).

If I simply run a jack into the 'guitar' input for 'A', I get almost no signal; if I turn up the 'Tri ...

Larry

Maybe he wanted to see me squirm! Smile

Seriously, it's a very impressive guitar and sounds wonderful: shimmering highs.

I've wanted a Ritt D10 ever since.

I used to have P4 raising 6 and lowering 2 (Reverse P6), and my MKV raising 10 (D) and 6 to F.

After talking with Buck Reid, he suggested combining those two and adding the 10th raise to P4.

I d ...

Good move, Ben! You've earned it!

I dreaded retiring but, in fact, it's a blessing. I can experiment to my heart's content, searching for better KL assignments and digging into some tricky music. ...

I think they're terrific!

I'm dismayed to find that I can no longer play in shows of any kind! Four years of just wearing socks to play has meant that, if I sit down to play with any footwear, I i ...

That expression sets my teeth on edge. One can hardly say it's 'offensive', yet it irks me.

Inexplicably, another one that bothers me is the term 'steeler' in place of 'steel player'. It troubles ...
