Thanks for the advice guys. I just checked it out the other day and decided to pass on it. It actually looked and sounded great but it was very apparent that it was going to need a ton of work - missing knee lever, rusted hardware, pedal problems, etc. Turns out it was too good to be true. Looks lik...

So is the author of a post actually responsible for closing it as well if necessary? If so, didn't realize this as it was my first post. Gotta say, never realized a post on blocking was going to spark so much debate but perhaps that explains why it has been causing me so much frustration. Anyway, fo...

I'm in Somerville, MA. I've heard great things about Tommy Cass but haven't met him yet. Anyone have any contact info. for him? I basically know one other steel player here who I'll probably give a call to soon. Before really considering this deal though, I guess it would be helpful to know what my ...

Thanks a lot for the responses guys. Never thought of using the bar hand for blocking as well. I will definitely try that. I guess the hardest part of palm blocking for me has been finding a comfortable place for my ring and pinky fingers of my picking hand. I know some leave them extended and other...

Pick Blocking

Hey all, I'm new to the forum and have been playing pedal steel for almost two years now. I have recently been getting more serious about my playing and have been working/struggling a lot with blocking. This has really been my main frustration with the instrument thus far. The only way I seem to be ...
