This guitar just hit my showroom floor, just wanted to share a simple little E9th ditty, it is a dark blue 3-5 and plays wonderfully!

Bobbe,,
That Magnum sure sounds nice, I know it must be a good guitar, I know you'd never mis-lead us about that.
My question is,, does it come with that Bobbe Seymour "touch", and bar slants??

I really enjoyed your playing. Guitar sounds nice too. What Volume pedal did you use?

The volume pedal was (is) a Hilton Me262 standard. It is our floor demo pedal that we have used for over two years.

Scott Sanders just borrowed it for a week to see if he liked it, he then bought two, today.

I know most of you have this pedal by now, but I still like bragging about them.
The Goodrich potless model is wonderful also.

Before anyone asks, the amp used was the Peavey 112.

Thumb pick only, (no finger picks) and Larry, yes it does come with my touch and tone but don't hold that against the guitar, buy one anyway!

Really nice pickin' Bobbe,Guitar sounded great also..Behind the bar pulls and slants got my attention,but that reverse slant caused me to thump the top of my desk so hard I nearly dislodged my PC.Fantastic move and sound.
Got a question. could you have got the same results with the pedals and levers,without using slants and pulls?Is that just your style? Man,I gotta know..If you say do it that way,thats what I'll work on..Thanks for the video..PJ

Bobbe,

Always greatly impressed with your sound and technique, as well as your business acumen!
We get to enjoy some beautiful steel guitar music, and you get to showcase a guitar or product. This is the closest thing to playing it in person. You have seized the internet by the horns!

Great playing Bobbe, but even more important is how great it is for a new quality steel product to be offered to the steel playing community. This does not happen often enough.

Papa Joe, no, the effect of pulling strings, slants and reverses makes chords and execution a lot different than what kneelevers do for you.

Drew, internet by the horns? Thank you, but to me it's just a necessary evil, something that just has to be done to get the word to the players, (some of it in self defense)

Thank you, I'll be playing a sound clip for you guys on my '51 T-8 Bigsby Thursday. So check out what the world was like in steel guitar 55 years ago. You might be supprised!

Yeah Bobbe, that's why I listen to your CD's so much; IMO it don't get any better. Question; are you doing that with the nails of your fingers or the just the pads?

I counted 5 cheats, maybe 6. Didn't anyone every teach you to hold the bar straight, and not to pull on the strings behind the bar? What do you think them pedals and knee levers are there for, anyway?

Seriously, that's a real nice good demo clip, Bobbe. Thanks for sharing.

A while back I had the pleasure of a concert by a very lovely lady playing a harp. She let me feel her hands to check the thickness of the callouses on her fingers; didn't seem to be much there but the music was terrific. When I played a 6 string the callouses on my fingers were so thick they would peel off at times. I really like the tone that Bobbe gets with his. I think Chet Atkins used his nails also.

Bobbe sounds great of course, but I'm also impressed with the tone of that Magnum. If Bobbe says it's good - then you know it is. I hope to get a closer look at one of these soon. Thanks Bobbe.

Bobbe would get a better tone with black nail varnish rather than the pink that he normally uses. Also the Magnum would be a better guitar if they designed all the frets to be parallel rather than have one or two of them angled like the one Bobbe is playing on. He had to slant the bar around to play over these angled frets.

Gary, I was testing your memory! My camera man got sick, he should be OK Monday, possibly tomorrow.
The triple neck Bigsby is at the shop and ready to go. Boy, it's sound is a killer! I hope it translates well to the PC world.
Thank you Gary, I won't let you down.
