"HEY YOU" Are you gona do some ironing...or are ya waitin' fer the monkey to get here!!!!GGOSH..Why is it called a "NECK"? "HEY BUDDY...Get Pedlin'..You're holdin up traffic"!!!!! It's called a"PUSH PULL" cause you can push or pull from either end or side!!How do you know which is the Top neck and which is the bottom??? "What kind of Organ is that"??? Lets see now....I put my left foot (toes) on those first and second foot pedals right there...and my right foot goes on that BIG accelerator lookin' thing.That makes the sound go up & down..or is it Louder or not so loud?.Then I put my right knee between thosebars that are hangin' down right....wait..ther's a couple more down next to them and one thats...no two thats looks almost horizontil...and then on the othe end theres some more.......Damned..Youve'got to be kind of like and orangatang to play this thig a ma jig.

My instructor was telling me about a rodeo gig he played many years back where he depended on the other guys in the band to load his stuff, and he met the group at the gig. They forgot his seat, which included his volume pedal, picks, and bar. He played the entire rodeo dance with a tire iron and a flatpick. And some chick took him home afterwards. Will the wonders never cease? -MG |

3. You replace only the strings that break, and buy a dozen 17s 10s and 36s once every couple years.

You play a 4 neck fender steel, but 3 knecks are tuned exactly the same. I knew of a famous picker did this!! Everyone thought he was really a showman pickin' on all those necks.

#2005a. Being outraged at a backwater writer's characterization of Pedal Steel Guitar, and then being happy when he changes it.... Just a thought..

When you have pulls that are out of tune, and you are so LAZY that you don't even bother to tune them, but instead just go up to you keyhead and run your string(s) a little bit out of tune in order to bring the pull(s) a little more in tune as a compromise... And then you give up on that plan because you can't even hear what you are doing and it's now even worse (probably) and you just start playing anyway, hoping everyone is too drunk to notice. Terry I hope you never have the misfortune of seeing this. [This message was edited by Duane Reese on 31 December 2005 at 07:35 PM.] |

When you use an extra fret board to slide under the strings because the bass player won't tune in 440. The night the band is being live taped, the sound man leaves you out of the mix !  When you didn't relize the volumn pedal was wide open when you kicked off Too Cold at Home @ Mark Chestnut sending the guitar player running for cover.Bill Moran |

Zoomsteel? Well now let's say you are using a Zoom floor processor... Then maybe it should (another possible sign of a hack by the way) |
