Allow me to introduce myself !

Post by Kjell Ohlsson »

I´m a new member. :D
My name is Kjell and I´m turning 60 this year. I live just north of Stockholm, close to the international airport. My music is country!
I´ve been playing pedal steel for a year now so I concider myself still a beginner. But I´ll probably get over it, time will tell. During this past year I´ve been reading a lot from this forum and I´ve sure learned a lot to. There might be a chance or risk (pick the most appropriate) that I´ll come up with questions regarding steel guitars and how to develop my skills. Will you be there for me?
I´ll be back.

Hello Kjell and welcome to this fine forum.
You will soon notice what a friendly family this forum can be. They'll never let you down, whatever question you can come up with (even if you think your question is stupid or beginnersignorance or what...) Good luck to you from the Netherlands. :)

Yes Nic, thanks a lot. I´ve recieved it and I must say it´s an awesome piece of work you´ve put in to it. There´s a lot of good music I must say. It´s something that every steel picker would enjoy and it´s definitely a challenge. At least to a newbie like me.
