Hey Michael,

I am in Conroe.

Hey Donny, I have been practicing the violin for 2 years without a teacher but I ran into a huge roadblock where I wasn't able to get my fingers close enough together to hit the note for proper intonation. Steel guitar was always my favorite sounding instrument, so I decided I would get one, since I...

Unfortaunely, I won't be able to get a teacher or pay for that website. Am I wasting my time?

I have been practicing an instrument for a couple of years now and hit a huge roadblock (my fingers aren't fitting.) I am in the process of buying a pedal steel now, but I am wondering if I am going to be able to do this without live lessons. Has anyone here learned how to play without a teacher? Al...

Hi Jamie, So great to hear from you. That stage one pedal is much more reasonably priced than the others I've seen. I may just end up getting that one. I was thinking that I might want the low profile pedal though, since my inseam is about 36 inches...but I think this guitar can be raised up to 3 in...

Thank you, sir.

Bobby, thanks for responding! Can you tell me what you think of this amp?

That's what I figured. Is that sho bud a steel guitar one? I am not quite sure how to spot them.

Hey Lee!

I used to an Admiral of a starship in a text based online game, so it wouldn't surprise me if we shared some blood.

Hello everyone, I just bought a Carter Starter pedal steel and I need to figure out what to buy to get it going. I can't seem to find any YouTube videos on how to hook these up and what kind of cables, amps, or pedals that I need and how I hook them up when I get them. I need to be able to play quie...
