"Hello Jack, you will probably find it's like riding a bike and it will come back pretty quick. I have been playing for many years, and try to keep up with both steel and dobro. I consider myself a simple style picker. I wouldn't be…"

I've kept the dobro in Open G (DGDGBD) for the most part. Open D will definitely be used somewhere along the…"

I just started playing around with the open D tuning: DADF#AD and find myself loving it. I'm looking forward to more time with…"
jack stepick commented on Rockne Riddlebarger's group RESONATORS"Hey Dustin: Did you choose the D6 tuning for your 8-string reso because of your familiarity with it on your triple neck, or you just like it better than the more common G6 tuning , or maybe both reasons?"
Bob Haglock left a comment for jack stepick"Really like that baffle set up you have going Jack. Definitely has the Scheerhorn twist to it. Man you have my gears turning in my head right now. Lol Thanks for the friendship."
jack stepick commented on Rockne Riddlebarger's group RESONATORS"The arch support was my idea. Some open body guitars have a reinforced top and require no sound/support posts under the cone lip. I noticed that some of the Scheerhorn guitars have posts but the baffles curved around the body towards the screen…"
jack stepick replied to jack stepick's discussion Tunings in the group RESONATORS"Playing without a capo certainly forces you to know your fretboard which is always a good thing. I find that, except for certain songs where I might want the "open string" sounds and patterns, the use of a capo just gives a different…"
Rockne Riddlebarger replied to jack stepick's discussion Tunings in the group RESONATORS"My #1 Dobro is always in good ole Dobro G (GBDGBD) and my other two are usually in E (EBEG#BE) and D (DADF#AD) because they allow me to sing various songs out of those keys or offer good positioning for certain songs in other keys. The E and D…"

A G6 add9 sus4 . Similar to an E9 pedal steel tuning in that thetop 2 strings, A and C, are tuned lower than my 3rd string…See More
jack stepick commented on Rockne Riddlebarger's group RESONATORS"Here is the internal setup. The soundwell was replaced with sound posts. In order to allow the plexi baffle to extend up behind the screen holes, I constructed an arch support. The upper end of the baffle sits against an angled brace behind…"
