I know that slide and steel are really different. and if I ever had the opportunity to sit in with a Western Swing band (yeah, fat chance). I'm a believer that it is not "all in the hands". Same amp (Fender of course), amp settings, etc as I usually use.

I recorded a practice session using my walnut Fender Dual Professional (1 trapazoid and 1 boxcar pickup).
I did somethin' the other day that I have not done in a LONG time. or some other time in the not too distant future. maybe a couple other pickers if we can arrange it on such short order. I'm trying to arrange a casual lanai pickin affair here at the house tommorrow (10-8) for a Fellow Forumite visiting from the mainland. When are we gonna get together, finally meet face to face, and do some crimes?

Brown's genius with simplicity).įeel free to email me if I can help in any way. until you get to where you can play what you want in Steel techniques, at which time the two can be combined with great original effect, especially in the blues sounds that lend quite well to Honey Tonk (illustrated quite well in Jr. Ron's advice to keep slide and Steel techniques separate is good. and you'll be well on your way to a grand new world of very enjoyable pickin', usually in an amazingly short time if you woodshed proper techniques! And of course a good personal 1-on-1 teacher is a great asset. then go to this message chain for the finer and deeper discussions of navigation and substitution, and surf the archives of this Steel Guitar Forum for other subject matter. then go to this page to get your neck navigation layout and substitution explanations. Brown for amazement and motivation (90% of Jr's Steel playing is quite easy once you figure out what he's doing). and get 5 OLD Honey Tonk compilation CD's with a bunch of songs on each (they don't have to have steel on all the tracks as long as they are a fair share of songs you recognize and like), and learn to copy the steel parts as a techniques and neck positions learning exercise. and Jerry Byrd's video/audio/book course (for THE correct techniques). IMHO: With what it sounds like your past experience is and your desires are, I would say to find yourself a pre-JFK 8 string Fender console-type or Magnatone console-type Steel (I recommend a console because it is a better / stable platform to learn proper techniques on than a lap steel IMHO), and a 2 3/4" x 3/4" bar (you'll see why that size when you start learning slants properly), and a decent STEEL foot volume control pedal. But it's your game, so good luck, and I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback to help in your decisions. One bit of psuedo advice, keep the slide guitar style seperate from your steel playing, as they is 2 different animals. With it's rich tone, you might also discover or develope other styles that suddenly appeal to you.
Especially set up with a Lollar horseshoe pickup(right Prof. But the Sierra has it's legions of fans as well, and I'm sure you could make it work for you. The two guitars ARE in different tone zones. Welcome Allen! For the Western/honky tonk sounds your looking towards, as you've assumed, the Stringmaster would probably be the one you want(the older the better). Are these two guitars wildly different in tone? I know the Fender would have a classic sound, would the Sierra also work great for the type of music I have in mind?
I'm considering buying either an old Fender single 8 steel (like a single-neck stringmaster) or a second hand Sierra 8 string. the sound I'm after is sort of Western Swing & classic C & W/honky tonk. I have a couple of 6-string lap steels I've fooled about with but I'm shopping for a non pedal 8 string guitar. I've played slide guitar for many years, and am familiar with open tunings etc.

actually I'm a pro guitarist by trade but I'm interested in learning to play non-pedal steel. Your profile | join | preferences | help | search
