What's up forum? I'm a newbie here and beginner to the steel. I've been just strumming chords on an acoustic for about 7 years, played in a band but never played lead. I have a TEAK Stage One on order and can't wait!! Peavey Nasville also on order. I hope ya'all don't get bothered by me 'cause I tend to ramble on sometimes(like now).
Anyway, I'm from McAllen, Texas Cool. I have tons of questions and am not very musically inclined any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Joel...over and out.

Good luck in your venture!

You know, it's difficult to get ahead of Bama Charlie in welcoming newbies to the forum and I think that's just dandy, he's just too quick. Anyway welcome to the forum from almost the middle of Montana. You will find undoubtedly any information you need about the steel guitar here as well as encouragement from others who have been there. Press on!!!
