Hi All,

Another new member here - I did post earlier in the 'pedal steel' section, but I guess this would have been a better place. Great start - putting my first posting in the wrong area!! Thanks to those who replied there. Here's waht you missed

Been lurking here for at least a year, finally got around to joining!
Played acoustic for many years - still learning. Currently trying to maser some Jonh Renborn tunes.

Very much a psg beginner. Like many Sneeky Pete's and Lloyd Green's playing turned me on to psg a LONG time ago. Eventually took the punge and I've been trying to learn on my Carter Starter for about 18 months. Having great fun, though sometimes (i.e. always) my brain hurts trying to put it all together... ..not to mention my ears

I have something of a warped sense of humor (hey, despite my address I'm English, what do you expect!) for which I apologize in advance (the humor, not for being English).

Hey Garry!

Hope we'll get a good taste of your humor here!

Welcome, this is a great place to be, great to have you around! Mentioning Lloyd's name always gets my attention!

Kind Regards, Walter

Hi folks. Uffe from Sweden here. Im a newbi here in this forum. In 1968 I started to try to learn to play a steel guitar. My knowledge about the steel was almost Zero. I bougt an old Höfner lapsteel from one of the old pioneers of steel in Sweden. His name was "Yngve Stoor", a trouly Hawaian steel player. In 1974 I bought a Swede made psg named AWH. I played steel from 1980-1990 as a semipro. Stopped to play just because so many bad and ignorant so called sound engineers. Now Im 51 and have ordered a new steelguitar from my friend Janne Lindgren in Stockholm. Im sitting here just eating my nails, waiting for my new GFI, s-10 guitar. Its not to late to start to fullfill old dreams! Hope to have my new steel in a month or so. Hope I will survive. 1978 I played 2 tunes with Jimmie Crawford here in south Sweden at an steel guitar seminar. If someone that attended this seminar have a photo of this, please let me know! Would be glad to have a copy!
Best regards, and thanks that I can join this forum!

Welcome to both of you, glad you joined. This is the best place in the world for steel players to be.

Wish I'd learned lap steel when I still had a lap.

Howdy from Oklahoma, Garry! Join your local steel association, it will be the fastest way to get help learning. You already joined the forum, that's the other fastest way to learn!! HA!!

Uffe, it's never too late, as long as you derive fun and pleasure from learning to play steel guitar. Welcome. I just turne 51 me self, and have 3 years learning under my belt. I still don't know nuthun, but I'm haveing a blast!!

Welcome to the forum, bägge två!

We have the same favourite sources of inspiration, Gary! Pete and Lloyd are two extermely good pickers with an awful lot of really tasty stuff recorded.

And Uffe: Welcome back in business! Get yourself a biiiig pjuck and kick the so called sound engeneer's arsel! Then lean over them and speak out really loud how country music should be mixed, go up on stage and turn up your Session 500 and Nashville 1000 to full and play straight thru their bloody pop mix thus giving the audience a fair dose of whining, singing blue steel. People love that!

Hdg!
(Ha de gött!)
