The Steel Guitar Forum

Looking for some sort of student model to get into the steel with. I’m open to anything but I’m really looking for an Emmons gs-10 or a GFI student model. But please pm me with anything you might think be of interest.

Im a total newbie with the steel and I was just going to ask what are some easy songs to play along with for someone starting out.

Does anyone know where I can find Buddy’s old four wheel drive shirt I’ve been looking around online and I couldn’t find any online or anything but I figured someone on here might be able to help me track one down.

Might just be my mistake but I thought Ralph played this one. But I just really like the tone for the first lick after the fiddles. I’d love to be able to replicate it.

When Ralph is playing the first little run he does in big city is he using any effects? To me it sounds like he almost has a little bit of a overdrive with it and possibly some delay, if anyone has an idea please let me know. I’d like to try and replicate his tone for this song. I think it’s the per...

I finally got to sit behind a pedal steel. i can definitely see what im in for now its gonna take some getting used too with my right hand. I have played guitar on and off since I was little but never used finger picks all that much. but I don't think it will take me to long to get my right hand whe...

I'm finally getting to take the leap and getting to learn to play a pedal steel thanks to my favorite Uncle and im sure he will scroll past this eventually he has been on here for years :lol: He has been playing since he was younger than me and I'm 19.I just wanted to ask for any tips and tricks you...
