This is amazingly beautiful. Gives me something to shoot for as I am still in my first year of learning on the steel. Love the hymn, and your playing.

The biggest thing was realizing how much pressure I was applying with a very tense left shoulder. Even with a pad...

Lane,

I'm a new player, about 6 months in to this fun journey, and just wanted to say that your video was very helpful. I relaxed my shoulders last night, and could immediately tell a big difference.

Where is the best place to buy the standard John Pearse bar?

Thanks!

I am thinking about buying tickets to see the Time Jumpers on Sunday Feb 22nd in Charlotte. The listing online for the Knight Theater says "The Time Jumpers featuring Vince Gill, Kenny Sears, and Ranger Doug Green." I assume Paul Franklin would be playing, but it seemed weird for his name ...

just realized i posted this in the wrong place probably..feel free to move to proper forum

I've been wanting a pedal steel for probably the last 7-10 years, but have never been able to part with savings in order to buy one. I'm in a position where buying one soon could be a real possibility. I have a few questions and concerns, and figure this would be the best place to ask! First of all ...
