I use Lyricpad3 on a Samsung Android Tablet.
It Works great!
I's only about $8.00 Aus.

Valve or Solid State?
Valves are a bit more forgiving than Solid State. I would put some kind of load resistor across each amp (output) before the A-B switch to give each amp a nominal load when swi ...

I tried an in ear monitor in just one ear so I could hear my pitch! this worked, but the best solution was to have the offending guitarist moved to the other side of the band stand. He never knew why. ...

I had a loan of a Maestro Boost Pedal and it was amazing!

I did a Duo gig yesterday and the woman I sing with started a song in the wrong key. Fortunately it was a harmony key so I sang the lead (female) part and nobody noticed! Afterwards she said she used ...

Definitely.
I play out about once a month just on PSG and hardly have to touch the tuning!
As well as the weight factor, the feel of the instrument is great. I have begun to experiment with various ...

Thumbs up for Karaoke.Version. I've used a lot of them.

It looks like 'Open Cell' Foam?
Sometimes used as filters?
You can usually cut foam with any sharp knife.

I enjoyed those!
I've had the same problem with my knee levers. I'm halfway through a song and discover I have forgotten to set them out!

I use a Ukulele/Mando holder clipped to the PA Stand next to me. I have enough on my mic stand and I can reach my Mando easily. I use guitar stands for by Gibson and Strat. I played this afternoon and ...

I Agree!
Every month I play at a Country Music walk up session and the last two have had the lead guitar player absent. He is a difficult person and shouts at me for not watching him all the time.

I had a problem with a Strat Guitar where the springs made noises. I cut a strip of foam and inserted it up the middle. It worked well. Your springs may be different?

Many years ago I was in a band with questionable drummer. I discovered that if I sped up (slowly) my strumming the drummer followed and if I slowed my strumming he did too! I suddenly realized that I ...

I had a similar one that I had to heat with a heat gun. It was potted with a plastic! Someone had tried to open one end and butchered it but I managed to open up the other end OK with the heatgun.

Some years back I plugged in the wrong voltage plug pack and blew the power converter chip.
As I'm in New Zealand, I contacted Peterson who sent me the chip which my clever son installed for me. It h ...

I have nothing to compare it with (steel wise) but I have a Nashville 1000 with 15 B/W with a Neo magnet. It is not too heavy!

Hi Peter
Welcome to the world of Pedal Steel.
I would try to contact the Brisbane Steel Guitar club, as they are quite active. I don't have their details.

That's great - thinking outside the box!
I don't need any more project at present but I like how you think.

I played my first Country Music Gig in about 6-8 years last night.
Usually I play PSG only occasionally in Country Rock/Ameripolitan Band. I was invited to sit in with a CM show and I discovered how ...

Yes bOb, We've had to play "Wagon Wheel" 5 times in one night!
I started as a Teenager trying to be a rock star, but soon realised it wouldn't happen.
I fortunately kept my music as a week ...

It may not be relevant but clean/check the molex connector from the power supply to the main board as they're prone to causing problems!
