Just wanted to say howdy to everyone here. After lurking around for a while I finally decided to join. Definetly worth it to be able to communicate with all the great players here.
I'm always up for taking a lesson from players in the area if anyone is up for it.
I play a Sho-Bud Pro 1 thru a Lab Series L9. I dont see many steelers playing these amps, but they're really great!

Hey Joe, Welcome to one of the greatest spot's on the "WWW" for steel guitar information. I have been a memeber for quite a while now. I have learned so much and have made some really good friends around here.

Take care,

JW

PS: I'd trade all of the Florida Panhandle for Dallas any day you lucky dog. Do you even know how many of the worlds greatest steel players only live a little ways from you? If you get a chance you need to check out Gary Carpenter over around Ft. Worth. Another would be the fantablulas Junior Knight. I'm jelous!

Hey Jim,

Funny you mention it....Junior Knight and Gary Carpenter were two of the first guys I ever took lessons from. Both of them are amazing players.
I took a lesson with Junior when I was a begginer, and mostly sat there in awe of his playing. I think I'd benefit more from it now though.
I recorded the lesson with Gary on cassette and he showed me so much that to this day I still go back to it for new ideas.

I plan on taking lessons from Maurice Anderson soon. Heck, I'll take lessons from anyone whos better than me!!

That's what I call a positive attitude! You'll be touring in the big time in no time. Wink
