Personally, I ALWAYS play with my strap on, even when sitting down. When I was learning how to play, I would play sitting down with the strap off-this allowed the guitar to "settle" into a natural position for lap playing. Of course, standing up you cannot get the same position with a strap, so everything is thrown off. I think it is objectively more akward to play with a strap on, but, since I have been doing it, both standing and sitting, for years, I don't know any better. It feels very akward to me to play without a strap when sitting. Of course, Mr. Brozman and others of the Hawaiian steel guitar world ALWAYS sit- this is just how it is done. Others who have a "biological impediment" (belly) may not have a choice either. ------------------------------ From: "Pat Hagen" Date: Sun, 7 Feb 1999 16:00:26 -0500 Subject: Re: Tim: It's about time.

I haven't heard anything off of it yet. Does he play everything in a standard G tuning? If so, I'm even more anxious to hear it. Personally, I gave up trying to play "real" jazz on a standard G tuned dobro-my experience has been that you can't get enough non diatonic,jazzy notes or scales w/out sounding very stiff. And improvising/playing anything except the head-fuggedaboutit.... Of course, Stacy Phillips has managed to sound plenty jazzy with (I believe) standard G tuning, but he was using performance enhancing steroids at the time. Rob's jazzier cuts on his first disc sounded great, but had more of a blues feeling as far as the note choices as opposed to what,say, a jazz sax player would choose to do over the changes. Dont get me wrong-I love his playing, and I'm excited to hear if he trancends what I feel are inherent limitations of a six string reso tuned GBDGBD.

Gary, I had to strap on my guitar to see what I really did do. My left little finger rests on the sixth, or fifth and sixth strings while hammering/pulling, until I move back to pick the sixth string itself. I even do it this way when sitting down, maybe a habit from playing standing up a lot. It seems to help to locate the bar in relation to where the little finger rests on the strings, as well as to steady the neck from bouncing.

As a newbie they intrigue me, but I've never tried one. Definitely gotta do so. What are the advantages/disadvantages of 8 versus 6 strings? As to being a newbie: I got a copy of Cindy Cashdollar's video for beginners and after a week was able to put the reso into two songs that our group does, both written by bandmate Michael Robertson. It sounded great, even with my most elementary licks, and everybody dug it, so I'm a happy neophyte. Thanks again to all who offered advice and suggestions. Whoever wrote that getting a TIFKAD would change my life was certainly right. I find myself wanting to play my reso more and more.

I am fond of the G6. Bottom to top: EGBDEGBD or if you prefer, regular bluegrass G with Es at the bottom. It is just like the C6th of the lap and pedal steel, and is low enough that you don't need to be on the 11 fret to play in B (for Bluegrass as that famous Dobro picker John Duffey {RIP} used ta say) Brads page of steel (sorry I forget the URL, but he is on the list) has a bunch of others.

I've always liked to play standing up as well as sitting. Thou the instrument moves a few more while standing it doesnt bother (maybe except while playing something special exact kind music, but not bluegrass, blues or country backup: it's just my opinion). Playing standing up gives me even more freedom because I'm the same unit and moving WITH my reso. By the way, I often (or mostly) use to put strap on even while playing seated. Then it's like playing standing up but legs can rest :-) Actually I keep my Webb strap always on my Flintill (Regalreso (my hard case allows it, too). This discussion leaded me to a problem I have had in mind long time already: HOW TO PLAY PALM HARMONICS or chimes WHILE RIGHT HAND IS WRAPPED AROUND THE STRAP like it usually is? In case of the high part of fretboard it's possible and just uncomfortable but farther to the neck the strap simply doesn't allow hand to move and that's all. It's also impossible to take hand off the strap because it's a full circle move and it can't be done quickly. Such uncomfortable movements also tear the playing quality absolutely down.

She teaches using C6/Am7 tuning, which is probably one of the more common tunings used on eight string guitars. Bass to treble, that would be: A C E G A C E G Think of it as standard Dobro tuning tuned up a fourth, with the sixth note of the scale added for your convenience. When you first start out, everything sounds Hawaiian. Keep away from the A's until you get used to the C E G C E G part, and you'll sound much better. Unless you want to sound Hawaiian, in which case, never mind.

In the earlier days of the Scene, they used to do "Cannonball" a bunch live (They continued to do it later, but less often), and Mike would do that harmonics thing, and get his arm back under the strap in time for his natural bit.

I have religiously been using the D'Addario flat tops (FT-13) very happily on my Dobro while using D'Addario (J42) phosphor bronze mediums (subbing a .015 on the highest string) for my National Tricone Squareneck. Tim Scheerhorn turned me on to that the fact that the D'Addario (J42) phosphor bronze resonator set is the same as the J42 mediums except it comes with a .016 and .018 for the highest strings. After he put a Quarterman cone in my 1991 walnut Dobro, I found that the flat tops, which cut bar noise quite a bit, actually sounded a little too bassy and flat and I'm now experimenting with the round- wound J42s which seem a bit better balanced, i.e. brighter, with the heavier cone. I'd suggest experimenting with both the FT-13 and the J42s. The GHS 1600s never seemed to have the tone of either of the D'Addario's for pure acoustic use to my ear on my instrument.

Our Group, New Harmony, was in one of the hallways by our room saturday night and I (hopeful dobro player) had just walked up to the other guys jammin in the hall. I listened to them for a minute and some guy with a dobro and Gene Wooten walked up to the jam. I mentioned to them, especially Gene, to join in as I was learning to play and would enjoy my first experience of watching a great player up close. After a couple of songs, Gene seemed to like what he heard and did indeed join in. I rushed for my video camera, and Gene played along for about 40 minutes. He then said he had to leave to go play on the Grand Ole Opry. Everyone thanked him for playing. All the other guys had left the hallway and I said my parting words to Gene, he said that after the Opry he just might come back and jam some more with our group. As I headed back to our room, I thought, what a nice comment or even a nice compliment. I told the other guys and they all thought that was indeed nice of him to say. No one thought he would come back though. Well, sure as you know what, he did come back. It was about 10 o'clock and he peeked his head in and we welcomed him into our room. I still can't believe it. Anyway, he jammed for a couple of hours with us as I got most of it on video. He even played the banjo, both 3 finger style and clawhammer (with the picks still on) and sang a few numbers. What a great evening for me. It could not have happened at a better time. He was just very nice and really seemed to enjoy himself. Thank you Gene. There were lots of dobro players at SPBGMA this year. It seemed like every jam had one and lots of them were gooood. Also had a short, but nice, talk with Phil Leadbetter. They (the New South) were having a grand time playing a trick on their bassman Curt. Hope to catch up with Phil again at Bean Blossom and get his instruction video. Also noticed that Randy Kohrs (ex-continental divide) was playing with the Rarely Herd, don't know if that is permanent. All in all, quite a great weekend.

Pick noise will probably be minimized with experience and/or slight adjustment to the right hand position. Sometimes noise is a function of picking too lightly (attack). I understand that Propik (sp) have developed angled picks which may be useful. Anyone try these? A little pricey at $2.50 ea (imho).

I love them. Be sure to get them angled in the right direction so they hit the strings dead on even tho your hand may be angled a bit. Mine curve to the right as I have them on my fingers (looking down on them as I play).... Now looking at them with the inside of my palm facing me...they curve to the left and I see one of them actually has a little diagram on it curving to the left and says CCW..."counter clock-wise" I am assuming). That's the angles I prefer anyways. They also make them angled the other way, if you prefer...or maybe that is for another instrument?? AND...BONUS, they don't mess up your cuticles as much as other picks! :) Lisa Berman San Francisco ------------------------------ From: Robert Kordas Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 13:19:52 -0500 Subject: RE: Pick noise I tried the Propiks. They worked well I think for banjo, but they tend to fly off when digging in on the beefier strings of a guitar. The part of the pick that wraps around the finger is split in two, making them more comfortable, but less secure. I was at a Bela Fleck workshop (true he doesn't play a reso, but he knows how to use fingerpicks) and he mentioned that periodically he'll hear his picks start clicking . He just concentrates on his angle of attack for a while, trying different ones, till it goes away.

I bought both the nickel and brass versions. I experimented for a while with the angled thumbpicks and liked the angle but the pick wasn't beefy enough for those rhythm swats and lower end grabs. The thumb pick kept rotating around my thumb so I switched back to the Golden Gates. I use a litte bit of Camel Snot (the trade name) to keep my thumbpick in place. And while Im here Id like to enquire about sound gear not only for the reso but for the whole band. For all those direct-in sliders, is anybody inserting an EQ into their channel and painting their sound with that or are you using an onboard EQ (Rane AP13, guitar processor, etc). I am the sound guy for our band and am always interested in other peoples set up. Its like learning a new instrument. We have a Mackie 1402 mixing board and since the guitar player and myself have preamps we plug into the balanced 1/4 inch channels without the mic preamps so we can use the XLR inputs for the mics. Is anybody using the Boss (AD-3 or AD-5?) guitar/preamp processors? I also use an EQ pedal to give me a slight boost when soloing. Is anybody using a volume pedal similar to that on a pedal steel?

Also, if you have an electric, be it pickup on your TIFKAD or a steel, run it through a fuzz box and try to play it. The noise becomes more noticable, and maybe you will be able to see what you're doing when it happens, and then DON"T DO THAT!! I hate to say it, but the pick noise is *largely* a matter of technique, although I find that the polished picks alleviate it. Don't bother with the plastic picks, if you are a noisy picker, then you will just be a noisy picker with plastic picks.

Yes, my attempts at jazz are in standard G tuning. If steroids would help, I'd probably try them. The only enhancement I've used is lack of sleep. As far as sounding jazzy, playing with the "correct" rhythmic sense (including accents and syncopation) is at least as important as choices of notes.

I used to use fingerpicks 25 years ago ... Nationals ... but I've long since gone to bare fingers-and-a-thumbpick. For some reason, playing tricone and Weissenborn tears up my fingernails MUCH more than regular guitar ever does. Clearly, I need some fingerpicks What kind of fingerpicks do y'all like and why? Is there a clear favorite for you? I've been using Dunlop plastic picks on the tricone (especially good for single-string tripletty stuff), but I think I want some metal ones for the Weissenborn. There seems to be a lot of options now ... way back when, in my town, it was Nationals or naked.

I like selling information because NOBODY can put a price on it...ESPECIALLY when it is your own...The Sky is the Limit! Plus it is very cheap to reproduce How-To manuals. It costs between 40 cents and $3 to print the entire print manuals and around 35 cents to copy the manuals on disk. AND you can sell them for up to $99 each. That is one hell of a markup! These manuals tell you how to get a car with no money down and no credit...another one tells you how to avoid taxes by depositing income offshore...now you may not be interested in saving money by going offshore...but believe me....there are MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO DO...and they are willing to pay me to teach them!!!

I am even going to print out and prepare our #1 selling report which contains the secrets of obtaining credit without a credit check and producing an offshore income without taxes so that you will be able to take it down to your local copy shop and be ready to sell it the same day you have received it.

Deleting the SKA.EXE and SKA.DLL files is apparently correct. The Instructions from the website Skip Ogden graciously supplied then got a trifle ambiguous. I took them to mean delete the WSOCK32.Dll file and replace it by renaming WSOCK32.SKA to WSOCK32.DLL which is what I did. After rebooting I looked for evidence of any file starting or ending with SKA and could find none. From that I conclude that I successfully defeated it. From the description Bob provided of what he did I believe he deleted the first two files (SKA.DLL and SKA.EXE) correctly but then deleted WSOCK32.SKA which left him with the still corrupt WSOCK32.DLL. I am now out of my element but I think Bob needs to obtain a new copy of a good WSOCK32.DLL. Is that correct?

My early experience was purely acoustic, and informal (i.e. - not performing). I picked softly during back up, and then dug in for soloing. When I began performing through microphones, although I saw there were 2 ways to achieve dynamics: a) working the mic. b) Working with soft versus light touch as I had been doing before, while constantly staying "on" the mic. I continued to simply dig in for soloing. Recently I began using a piezo transducer through a Pro-EQ belt-clip pre-amp, and find that creating dynamics through hand pressure was the correct way for ME to go, as one cannot work a pre-amp in the same way one works a mic. The alternative would be to work a volume pedal, and I intend to try that, as I have a volume pedal. Furthermore, I believe that achieving dynamics through hand pressure probably negatively affects tone by creating a harsher tone with the increased pressure and volume. The volume pedal should theoretically allow the player to have greater control over tone variations. On the other hand, it is another piece of gear to keep track of. As for EQ'ing, the Pro-EQ has 3 bands. I find that different piezo transducers, on different instruments, require a fair amount of tweaking from one to another to achieve what I hear as a consistent tone that I like. So far, I've been plugging the pre-amp straight into the board. However, I cannot always get the monitor mix I want, which is almost all reso, with just a touch of the rhythm guitar. I feel I need this to maintain a feel for my intonation on the softer back-up. So, I've acquired an acoustic amp which I plan to use as a personal monitor. ------------------------------ From: "gmaass" Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 09:34:23 -0800 Subject: RE:Bob Brozman, Virus poster!!!!!

But I thought maybe someone on this list might have the needed expertise: The Rickenbacher (spelled as it was before they changed it to Rickenbacker to I.D. with Capt. Eddie) that I bought is a double-8 which has metal body and neck, the enamel is a light brown, and on the headstocks there is a metal T with Rickenbacher across the top of the T and Electro running down the leg of the T. I looked at the Rickenbacker Web site and couldn't find anything specific in the history or old catalogs areas to help me date this baby. Salesman said he thought it was pre-WWII. Hooked it up and tuned it this morning and found myself immediately playing what I seem to recall from childhood as a Speedy West tune that everybody out there would know if they heard it (even with me playing it). I can't bring the title to mind. The Rick sounds great, just pumps out the sound even through my little portable MaxiMouse amp. So does anybody have any idea what year or decade this might date from or if the price of $650 with OHSC is in the ballpark? Thanks again.

The first ones had metal bodies and detachable Bakelite necks with two versions like this before the war and another after the war. The prewar versions had 1 1/2 inch wide pickup magnets, which seems to be the key to accurate dating. The second style had a one piece metal body which included the necks. The metal body double neck had an oven-baked enamel finish. Doublenecks were available with 6, 7 or 8 string necks, the D-16 was two 8 string necks. The nameplate shape makes it sound like an early one but the pickup would be the key.

Maximize your website's traffic. INCREASE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE RANK! If your Web site isn't getting the traffic it should, it's likely that it's not ranked well on the major Internet search engines. According to recent Internet E-commerce studies, over 90% of consumers find the Web sites they visit by using eight major search engines, which are Yahoo!, Excite, AltaVista, Infoseek, Lycos, Web Crawler, HotBot, and Northern Light. If your website isn't located in the top-30 listings of these engines, chances are your site will never be seen. The single most important thing you can do to increase your Web site's traffic is to increase your search engine ranking. - ------------- "PUT YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS -- List your business with search engines to make sure potential customers can find it." -- BIZ Excite, PC Computing magazine, November 1998 - ------------- THE BASICS: HOW SEARCH ENGINES RANK YOUR SITE When you submit your website to a search engine to be indexed in its database, it sends a "robot" to scan your page. Using complex algorithms to rank your page for keyword relevance, the "robot" determines whether you'll be ranked number 1 or 1,000,000 when potential visitors conduct a search looking for sites like yours. Because the search engines are constantly changing their algorithms to provide users with the best possible search results, there's only one true solution to high search engine placement--us. In short, submission alone isn't enough. *Good search engine ranking* is critical to your site's success. - ------------- HERE'S WHAT WE DO -- A UNIQUE, SUCCESSFUL APPROACH In order to counter the ever-changing search engine algorithms, we create an entire series of "entry pages" that are optimized for the search engines--one for every keyword (or keyword phrase) that you provide. Each entry page is optimized for a different set of algorithm variables. In other words, instead of having only *one* page struggling to rank well on all engines, we create separate, search engine-specific entry pages for each keyword. As a result, your pages rank well because they contain information relevant to search queries that are related to your industry. - ------------- HOW ENTRY PAGES AFFECT YOUR WEB SITE'S CURRENT STRUCTURE Put simply, they don't. When creating entry pages we *do not* make any changes to the existing structure, content, or functionality of your current site. The entry pages act as a welcome screen for your Web site when people enter from your highly ranked link on the search engine. The pages will say a few introductory words about your site, which are keyword and/or keyword phrase rich, and then provide a link that asks the visitor to "Click Here To Enter," which moves them directly to your current homepage. - ------------ HERE'S WHAT WE DON'T *EVER* DO TO HELP YOUR SEARCH ENGINE RANK We *will not* build pages for irrelevant--yet "popular"--keywords. Also, we will *never* "spamdex" pages. "Spamdexing" is "stuffing" a Web page full of words for the search engine's robots. You may have seen spamdexing, which is placing many words in the same text color as a background onto a Web page. Spamdexing will actually get your pages "kicked" from search engine indexes. What we *will* do is simply present very relevant keywords for your site to the search engines in the way that they "like" to see it. - ------------- "It's simple: If they can't find you on the search engines, they can't buy from you." -- J. LeRoss, Internet Sales Consultant - ------------ HOW WELL DOES THE SERVICE WORK? We'll send you a detailed report of your current search engine ranking on "The Big Six" engines before we begin. Then, once your new entry pages have been indexed, we'll send you a second report showing how they've ranked. Here's a sampling of some results we've acheived for previous clients. (These examples are for competitive keywords--not just obscure words on which no one is conducting searches.) <> 6 top-10 rankings on Infoseek for different relevant keywords <> 18 top-10 rankings across the major search engines <> 3 top-10 rankings on Alta Vista for one keyword <> 16 total *number one* rankings <> 40 top-30 rankings, spread across the different engines. <> 1 to 2 hits per week increased to 500 per day <> 45,000 hits per month grew to 108,000. - ------------ HOW MUCH DOES YOUR SERVICE COST? Our basic services start at only $385.

Maybe use the money I'd'a spent to buy a Tutbro, who knows? It'll be enough work just learning to play those, let alone anything with as many strings and tunings as a doubleneck electric. Sure a neat sound though, in its soulless electric way. 8^) Next stop: Stacy Phillips' book on Hawaiian resoguit. I can hardly wait.

Replacement saddles are a sand 'n file to fit proposition - - I usually get the thickness first (I use a belt sander), get a good tight fit, then get the height. Be aware too that many "stock" saddle inserts installed on certain OMI's are terribly low - a bit more height should bring forth more volume and better tone. On all of my instruments, I try to keep the height as high as it'll go - set so that when the strings are removed, the bridge runs into the coverplate. Scott R.

I guess my real question is, how do I upgrade from a Dobro to a Sheerhorn? When I was there, I think you were working under a 15-16 month order delay. So, I was thinking...... maybe I order one now and when it done, it's done. How does one go about doing this? I really have no idea what I really want except a Sheerhorn. Maybe another trip to see what you have and get some ideas? Any ideas of how I market the Dobro when it would be done? If you can, I would appreciate some idea of how and where to start this process. By the way, the pickups seem to work pretty well. I purchased a Peavey "Ecoustic" to run them into. And........while I was in South Carolina last week I stopped into a pawn shop in Sumter and they had a Create CA125B on the floor. I gave the guy $225 and walked out the door. I got it home, wiped off the dust and it looks and works like new. I think it is a 1997. From comparing prices in catalogs and stores, I'm really happy with the price. I hope that now since people have found you on "resoguit" you still have time to go to work.

(The addresses are saved in "liste.exe") This is how Ken and Bob unwittingly posted the virus back to resoguit-L. It is relatively easy to get rid of, so please do.

Do NOT delete!) > Actually, according to a text document on the topic from datafellows, If you are infected then your copy of wsock32.dll is a copy which has been altered by the virus. Your original wsock32.dll will have been renamed to wsock32.ska. So you need to delete the wsock32.dll and rename wsock32.ska back to wsock32.dll. However DO NOT delete your copy of wsock32.dll if you do not also have wsock32.ska. ------------------------------ From: Mike Mannion Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 22:42:15 -0500 Subject: Re: UN-happy 99 Jim you have to go to find and locate ska.exe and delete it. There is another file but I don't remember it I'll try to find out for you. I'm glad I deleted Happy99 before opening it.

It was an excellent evening of resophonic American music. It's definitely not bluegrass (no banjo) but there are elements of bluegrass within this music. It's American music - a mix of many different types of music, all run through the personalities of these four musicians. Joe Craven's mandolin and percussion are really something to behold. Rob's tone and phrasing are impeccable. He's the only other steel guitarist besides Jerry Douglas who makes me want to throw my guitars in the river. Rob has added a show in McKinleyville, CA to his tour. February 17th will find him at the Six Rivers Brewing Company, 1300 Central Avenue in McKinleyville. Call (707) 839-7580 for time, cost and other information. Check out my Rob Ickes page (http://www.well.com/~wellvis/ickes.html) for the other dates on this West Coast tour. Rob Ickes (resophonic guitar and vocals), Joe Craven (mandolin, percussion and vocals), Derek Jones (five string bass) and Kendrich Freeman (drums, percussion and vocals). ===================== Brad's Page of Steel: http://www.well.com/user/wellvis/steel.html A web site devoted to acoustic and electric lap steel guitars ------------------------------ End of resoguit V1 #415 *********************** From: Majordomo@vma.verio.net Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2003 1:16 PM To: hlpdobro@intr.net Subject: Majordomo file: list 'resoguit-digest' file 'v01.n417' -- From: owner-resoguit@majordomo.vma.verio.net (resoguit) To: resoguit-digest@majordomo.vma.verio.net Subject: resoguit V1 #417 Reply-To: resoguit@majordomo.vma.verio.net Sender: owner-resoguit@majordomo.vma.verio.net Errors-To: owner-resoguit@majordomo.vma.verio.net Precedence: bulk resoguit Wednesday, February 24 1999 Volume 01 : Number 417 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 08:41:12 -0500 From: Howard Parker Subject: FWD: Josh Graves Benefit Raffle Forwarded from bgrass-l: hp Click here: Josh Graves Benefit Raffle Thank you to all artists and attendees who helped to make Uncle Josh's Benefit last night a success!
