Advice...
Hold on to your hat and put on your waders.
I use a folding piano seat w/ adjustable height in case the B.S. gets too deep..

| Welocome Pat. As Ken says, it can get deep here. Many good folks here to answer questions. My first advise is get a divorce lawyer. |

Never use the phrase "Honey this is the last guitar I will ever need".
Other than that,find a seasoned player and take all the lessons you can.

And when she says: "It's the guitar or me..." well, don't think too long about it or she'll lay you out flat on your back. Actually, what I am trying to say is, run as fast as you can while yelling back at her, "have a great life, honey".
My advice, listen to and go see as many players as possible. Find a teacher if possible. Ask questions here.

Well I would say steelseat (check out my web site www.steelseat.com )
I just returned from delivering another steelseat to a customer that has been using a drum throne.
NOW of course I am going to say this since I build steelseats.
I would check with seasoned steel players - if you want I can get you some names (or emails) some will be using my seats and some not (YET I hope)
