| I am new at playing the pedal steel so new I haven't recieved mine yet it's being built by Bill Rudolph. Yes a Williams. I have played coun try and classic rock and roll with 6 string and 12 string guitars but nobody my age around here in Roseburg, Oregon plays so I found me an older gentlemen from the Holding Aces Band Lonnie Carroll who is willing to show me what he has learned. I guess once you master the basics which takes a long time which I have plenty of I am retired and only 56 years old. So I am hoping I can get with the program and contribute some of this outstanding Pedal Steel Guitar music I hear so much of. Roger Pietz. |

| The ride's where all the fun is. Kinda funny though, the destination keeps moving away as you get nearer to it. Pick away, it's a blast. [This message was edited by Ray Minich on 21 April 2006 at 10:29 AM.] |

| Roger ,Ron just gave you the most importent piece of advice so far.When you play in tune you are making music,when you play out of tune you are making NOISE.Be sure you have a good tuner,the most importent tools you will own.I absolutly refuse to play with some one that does not keep their instrument[guitar,bass,or whatever,A lot of people don't know it but drums need to be tuned also,any real drummer knows this.Bama Charlie. |

| Roger that is good you have a teacher to help out, it really depends on you how serious you want to be,a good teacher can show you secrets in a half hour that may take you years to figure out, and you can curb a few bad habbits as well, My suggestion is watch your tuning and get use to wearing finger picks. |
