I´m a new member. :D
My name is Kjell and I´m turning 60 this year. I live just north of Stockholm, close to the international airport. My music is country!
I´ve been playing pedal steel for a year now so I concider myself still a beginner. But I´ll probably get over it, time will tell. During this past year I´ve been reading a lot from this forum and I´ve sure learned a lot to. There might be a chance or risk (pick the most appropriate) that I´ll come up with questions regarding steel guitars and how to develop my skills. Will you be there for me?
I´ll be back.

Yes Nic, thanks a lot. I´ve recieved it and I must say it´s an awesome piece of work you´ve put in to it. There´s a lot of good music I must say. It´s something that every steel picker would enjoy and it´s definitely a challenge. At least to a newbie like me.
