Top 10 signs of a Hack Steel Player,,,,

Eric West · Post by **Eric West** » 29 May 2004 1:05 am

10. You have silverware that replaced parts of your PSG that's broken, and still use them.

9. You still play with a band that has had more members quit than are now in the band.

8. Your reverb quit and you had to sit out the rest of the night.

7. Your bank regularly cashes checks made out to your stage name.

6. You tend to put the legs of your steel in the same indentations in the linoleum at the Eagles every week.

5. You see other people play things you can't play and you say it's because you don't want to play "this new stuff".

4. You don't buy Duct Tape™ because you can always find enough to use stuck on the stage from the last band.

3. You replace only the strings that break, and buy a dozen 17s 10s and 36s once every couple years.

2. Your dog looks guilty whenever you point at the legs of your steel, and say " Did you do that?"

1. You are better at juvenile knife games than at playing steel guitar.

Isn't that how Joseph Kekuku started this whole game in the first place?

A and B pedals are shiny, C pedal totally dull.

ROTFL.

The C pedal line too LOL.

I'll add:
Two levers, but not too sure what they do. Better not try them in front of the club manager.

Half pedals? Why??

You mean we are supposed to tuned this arnin' board?

Or, you look down and notice the black and white keys are missing.

By the way Larry, wouldn't that be the A pedal used on that third lick?

When the guitar player in the band can make more steel licks than you can.

When you post a question in "Pedal Steel" that I can answer......

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 30 May 2004 5:07 am

When you get out your label maker and mark ALL the notes on your fret board, and what each pedal and knee lever does.

Bill Miller · Post by **Bill Miller** » 30 May 2004 6:04 am

When you keep a minimum of three bars within easy reach because you keep dropping them in the middle of songs.

12. Thinks Lloyd Green was the star of "Bonanza."
13. Keeps used strings "just in case."
