First, thanks to everyone who responded to my question about playing and gigging (http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum15/HTML/012709.html)

A follow-up question to that is, how many of you started steeli ...

Apologies for dragging up an old thread but Billy's comment about "cell phones and amps" brings up a good point. That is, cell phones DO NOT play well with electronic equipment.

My very first actual "paying" gig was with the MSA. I'd only had it a few weeks but apparently had gotten proficient enough with the I-IV-V changes that a local band asked me to sit in for a wedding p ...

b0b,

My bad. I didn't realize I'd posted this in the "Pedal Steel" forum until after the thread started getting replies. My apologies.

Farris,

First, thanks to everyone who's been responding to my earlier thread "What's the first thing to learn as a new player?" The feedback I've gotten has been very helpful - along with all the other thread ...

Dave,

"Horizontal and vertical..."

Correct me if I'm wrong (which may be likely)...

Vertical meaning moving from string to string and Horizontal meaning staying on 1 particular string. Correct? Or ...

Knock on wood, my CS will be here next week. Since it's been over 25 years since I touched a steel (and I wasn't really any good then), I'm pretty much starting totally over - and I want to do it righ ...

Doh!

I looked right at that page and it apparently didn't register with me. Thanks for the "slap upside the head" (and the info about the triple/double raise/lower).

I'm also probably going to ...

I'm getting ready to order a Carter Starter and I need to order a bar to go with it. I'm looking at an Ernie Ball 3 7/8" bar - available in "medium" or "heavy" weight.

My question: FOr a beginning E9 ...
