Hey Cartwright!

Exactly the item I was looking at! Smile

I'll shoot him an email now. It amazes me that i've been playing guitar for almost 20 years (guitar, not PSG) and I still know so little about ...

Random question...has anybody on the forum ever played a PSG through a Groove Tubes amp? I have always been interested in picking one up for my guitar rig...but suddenly I now have ANOTHER instrument ...

James,

I meant to thank YOU for asking the clarification question. Clearly it was a little bit early for me as well!

Billy!

Thank you so much for asking Bill for clarification on his diagram!

Bill, it was so clear you put time into drawing up the sketch and scanning it in, etc - I didn't want to be rude and s ...

Bent,

Thank you so much for the reply. It was really the "pick" portion that i was struggling with. I have fairly rounded (vs. pointy) fingertips. The set that I am trying to match wrap a ...

Has anyone out there ever seen a good tutorial on finger pick shaping? Let me preface this email by saying that I have been spending the last few days reading the MANY MANY posts on this subject.

Yeah - this really is a pretty amazing record. I just went out and purchased his most recent on Nathan's recommendation. Already really digging it. It's funny how drastically different this stuff is f ...

Hey all,

Listening to a pretty incredible album by a great songwriter named Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The steel playing is absolutely gorgeous and I was wondering if it is being played by an ...

Figured i'd post up some pictures to give context to this post.

Thanks so much Reece! I am absolutely loving it.

Hi Reece!

I just bought my very first pedal steel from Tommy Cass out in Baldwinville MA. I was hoping you could shed some light on it's vintage as well as any other info you might have!

It is a ...

Thanks all!

I actually heard back from Tommy Cass today and he told me that he has everything I will need to get started (tonebars, picks, etc). I think I'll probably just get a good little starter ...

Hey all!

So I think I've found my first Pedal Steel thanks entirely to the direction of everyone on this great great site. I am going to see Tommy Cass on Tuesday and will be bringing home an MSA S ...

Thanks all for the great recommendations! Listening to Steel Radio right now! But inevitably amazon will get my $$ for some mp3 downloads!

Realizing this probably belongs in the "Steel Players" section. Sorry! Not sure I can move it.

Hey all,

It's Thursday, day is dragging, need a pick-me-up. Sort of looking for some suggestions on quintessential pedal steel recordings to get me through the afternoon.

Thanks!

Haha! Calvin, I think that might make the decision for me then, eh? Thanks!

Hey all,

I'd like to apologize for all the newbie stuff I've been posting here, and I promise to lay off a bit as I get a little more settled into this stuff. That said, I have one more question I ...

Ha! Check that out! I guess I should have used the search feature first. Thanks man!

Hey everyone! I heard back from Doug Beaumier and am planning to head out to get some initial instruction even before I buy my first psg. He was very very nice - and I can't thank you enough for point ...

Hey everyone!

Been searching for some new music to purchase - particularly i'm looking for any new Indie Alt-Country stuff with a prominent pedal steel player.

Right now I'm listening to the Cas ...

Ok, now i've emailed Mike Idhe as well! Looks like there are more resources locally than I expected!!! I'll keep you guys posted, but I do agree that a teacher is really the first place to start.

Oh man, I didn't even THINK about amps. I am playing through a Fender Vibrolux these days...how will that hold up?

Great to meet your Chris! Kind of funny, I think it's the very FACT that steel seems so different that is drawing me to it so strongly. I love playing my Collings, I love playing my 335, I love all th ...
