| I was talking to another forumite the other day about my 6 yr old grandson and "wishing" he would get interested in steel,instead of just "video / computer games". The idea came about, that maybe someone with a lot of computer "savy" could create some sort of computer (music)game or such that would incorporate the steel guitar. I know what I want to say, just having a hard time expressing the idea into words that make sense. He has computer discs that teach him almost everything you can imagine. ANY IDEAS anyone ? ? I really believe this could develop into something for a lot of young kids. Give it some thought, a "Good Idea" or "D.O.A." ? thanks - Skip |

I think it is a good idea to put together a CD-ROM for Steel Guitar, but I think that the Pedal Steel Guitar is a little advanced for the younger kids. I started out with piano when I was a kid and then progressed to guitar and then banjo and then to the steel. I think a kid might get frustrated at the PSG. The attention span of kids today is awful, and I don't think they would have the attention span to make it at the PSG.
However, I know that with the popularity of all the video's out there, a CD-ROM would more than likely take off like a rocket if it was available. How easy would it be to watch on your laptop while traveling or something like that.
My vote is for Cindy Cashdollar to make a E13 CD-ROM!

It would go something like this.
Group of Nashville 20-something producers and Music Row cost-cutting business managers rampage the coutryside in their EXTREME MONSTER TRUCKS running over and smashing every steel guitar in the world until they're all gone.
GAME OVER! |

LOL, Michael!
OR
the game could be called "POP MIX".
The screen looks like a big mixing board, you're the producer, and your goal is to turn down the correct fader whenever a Steel or Fiddle is heard in the mix.
Points are deducted if you mistakenly turn down the drums.

Sorry Skip, your idea has merit, I just got carried away.

The original Myst had organ/keyboard puzzle.
I would love to have a Myst-erious steel guitar incorporated in to a Myst/Riven like game.
But then I would like to find any other game that measure up to the standard set by Myst and Riven: to date I have seen no game that does meet that standard.
BTW" to open the vault door play strings 1, 4, 9, 11, and 12 and press the A and B pedals.

Thanks for the replies and the "laughs" 
As far as a 6 yr old learning, the guitar itself may be too advanced, I agree, but these kids today are very sharp on computers and a youngster can learn so much about the music and the guitar, if only there was something out there on disc. He presently has a 6 string , 2 pedal guitar that he "strums" on and that is keeping him interested to a point. Thanks - - Skip |
