How Many Newbie Pedal Steel Players?
David's pedal steel dying art thread got me to wondering how many players have taken up the instrument for the very first time in say, the last 5 years?
I suppose one wouldn't be considered a newbie after a couple years, but for this poll can we use 5 years or less?

Two and a half years here. I was J.B. Crabtree's first guitar teacher and his sister gave me his Dobro and a 40's Gibson Lap Steel when he died. Took me a couple years to tackle the one with all the levers and pedals. Wish I coulod have bout his Emmons. If the guy that bought it here a few years ago ever decides to sell it we would like to get it back 'in the family'.

PSG: pretty much one year ago (MSA E9/B6)
played non-pedal & dobro for maybe three, four years before (but guitar forever).
I find pedal steel and non-pedal steel quite difficult (for various reasons string spacing, tuning).
These are actually three different instruments.
I feel the dobro is just starting to open up for me, and I start to grasp the similarities and differences between the instruments.

Count me in. Less that a year for me.
Playing an MSA, "The Universal" with Maurice Andersons copedent.
I cannot imagine having a better more competent teacher in my wildest dreams.
It ain't dead if I've got anything to do with it.
Hard to imagine something that can sound so special would ever go away. Just my opinion but I do not see that it will ever, ever die away.
Besides, when and if ya'll get to heaven we'll be listening to the best there's ever been and smilin' bigger than ever.
