I just wanted to say “Hello” to one and all. After a lifetime in entertainment, I have reached a point where my hands are giving me trouble on the guitar neck so I decided to try to slide guitar. Recently I found a good deal on a 1961 SUPRO Comet lap steel. Looking to gain more knowledge and skill I signed up here. I knew there were a lot of great players out there from watching the videos. This resource is valuable for us all and I thank you all for your openness and contributions to the advance of the skills needed for this most beautiful instrument. The back issues of the magazines were great and will be read through as I learn from them. |

Hello back,
As another old guy new to steel I can agree that there are great players and good advice here at SGF.
I've not been pro, but still, 25 years with guitar, and 35 with banjo, and now 4 months with steel, that puts me at 75
and just starting out with something new to me.
IMO no matter how old or what the challenge, having something new helps make life worth it.
