Eric Knight · From: North Carolina, USA

i bought a carter s-10 this march and have just started to get really into it. im 19 years old and turn twenty in a few weeks. i played dobro for two years before moving up to the pedal. im a dj at the college radio station at Guilford college which i attend in greensboro nc, i love all types of country music, but the style of steel im most interested in is bakersfiled sound stuff, and stuff like jay dee maness from the byrds and such. thanks for letting me join the community, i believe it will help me immensely.
thanks.

Welcome Eric.

Welcome Eric to this crazy world of the pedal steel guitar. You willl find you have a life long love/hate relationship with this lady. Some days she will be kind and some days she will be an absolute terror on four legs. She won't stay in tune no matter what you try, and then she will turn around sound like angels singing. Don't get discouraged. Stay with it. You've got lots of time to learn it right. With all the new videos and DVD's as well as background tracks available you should be up and running in no time. It takes a little while to get your sea legs on this baby, but it will be time well spent believe me. Good luck and come to the Forum with any questions you might have no matter how stupid they may sound to you. The Steel Guitar Forum is the best place to get the answers, bar none. We all had to start somewhere, so we know where you are coming from. Happy pickin'.

Welcome Eric...such a refreshing thing to see a younger person coming on board in the steel guitar community. I am sure you will try new material with the steel and hopefully some traditional things. Feel free to ask questions on this forum, there is a wealth of knowledge here and most will be happy to help. You're just up the road from me and hopefully we will have the opportunity to meet soon.

Welcome Eric, what all them others said ! I only wish I had had enough brains or something to have started psg when I was young Cool

Michael Breid · From: Eureka Springs, Arkansas, USA

Stan,
I started fooling around with the PSG when I was 59. I'm almost 63 now and can't spend as much time with it as I want to, but I believe you are never too old to learn. I love the instrument and someday hope I will be able to play and not embarrass myself. I'm still in the infant stage, but every time I practice I learn a little more. If you're ninety-eight and you always wanted to play the PSG, get one. You're never too old to learn.

Hi Eric and thanks for joining the Steel Guitar Forum. Your going to enjoy it here a lot. So many different places to visit here and each room has its own folks that hang out there.

Sounds like your well on your way already, and it means so much to see younger people get interested in the steel guitar.

So don't be shy, if there is something you want to know or just talk about, start a thread on it and you'll, well you'll see what happens.
