| | Steel guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term 'steel guitar' should also not be confused with steel strung guitar which is a normal acoustic guitar that has steel rather than nylon or cat-gut strings, although the bass strings will be wound with a bronze alloy, giving the distinctive gold colour. | | | Steel guitar, strictly speaking, refers to a method of playing using a metal slide (or 'steel') on a guitar played horizontally, with the strings uppermost. | | | One make of resonator guitar is the Dobro guitar which features a metal cone where the sound hole would normally be. |

| | Typically the lap steel guitar is tuned in one of several "open" tunings rather than standard guitar tuning. | | | The steel guitar differs from a regular guitar in the way that it is played. | | | From about 1915 to 1930, a large number of Hawaiian guitar methods and songs were published by the major music publishers. |

| | Pedal steel guitars were offered from 1961 to 1971, but were not as successful as the non-pedal guitars. | | | I've chosen to focus on electric lap steel guitars, as there still isn't a definitive reference book for these instruments (as there is for the National and Dobro®; acoustic guitars). | | | They have carried on the National tradition of fine acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars, but have not made electric lap steel guitars. |

| | guitar anatomy |
| | The raw acoustics of the electric guitar aren't quite as interesting as the acoustic guitars (although you may be interested in Dan Russell's work); the body is essentially a good-looking hunk of wood to counterbalance the weight of the neck and to keep the strings vibrating a longer time. | | | These guitar web pages were written by Ra Inta as part of a PhD project at the Musical Acoustics Laboratory at UNSW, Sydney, and the Gilet Guitars workshop. | | | Acoustic guitars produce sound due to a rather complicated interaction (or "coupling") between the various components of the instrument. |

| | Jerry Byrd, steel guitar pioneer - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper |
| | Byrd was widely respected and acknowledged as one of the pioneers of steel guitar, in both the country and Hawaiian music genres. | | | He is often credited for defining the steel guitar sound of early Nashville &; the twang that characterized many recordings — as well as the lush tunings he incorporated in Hawaiian music renderings. | | | Byrd was the first inductee into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame, and his Rickenbacher lap steel, common among pioneer country musicians, holds a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame. |

| | StartUp Steel |
| | The birth of the modern Pedal Steel Guitar occurred when someone (Bud Isaacs in particular but no doubt many others in their living rooms) used the sound of bending the string with the pedal as a musical sound. | | | These guitars are definitely to be considered as a longer-haul starter guitar. | | | There are more starting steel guitarists who started with Mavericks, got inspired and frustrated and went on to higher level steel guitars than there are starting steel guitarists who started with a Maverick, got frustrated, and quit. |

| | The world of steel guitar just opened up and what a wonderful world (song title) so to speak of was all right there staring me right in the face. | | | I purchased a Shobud Maverick some 30 years ago and learned to play "Steel Guitar Rag." I thought I sounded pretty good until I made the mistake of recording it one day and it sounded more like a steel guitar catastrophy. | | | Well, enough of this so I put the guitar back in it's case and it sat there for the next 30 years. |
