Thanks Bob...I got your email and I will probably call after the holidays and see when we might get together. I would love a chance to pick the brain of a more experienced player for awhile. Have a Me ...

I live in the finger lakes region of central New York, and am looking for any steel players in my area that might be able to share some teaching time to help me progress a little more as a player. Any ...

2. Playing in a group? I play steel as often as I can, although I am a guitar player most of the time. I wou ...

I just bought a new Peavey Nashville for my lap and pedal steels, and I can believe the difference in tone I get compared to my old amp. Now I want to add some effects pedals to alter some of the soun ...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm glad to be able to post now....and no doubt will have questions too. I love all of the links you guys post to the YouTube videos that you do. I'm a better learner when ...

I have been lurking for years, and finally decided to jump aboard and say howdy. I have been a guitar player for years, but the steel is something I have only been enjoying for about five years. I sta ...
