The Steel Guitar Forum

Some folks know that my day-job involves interviewing people and writing opinion surveys. I have just started using a new online survey technology for smaller studies and need to test it out tonight (before I use it at work tomorrow!) So I created a short steel guitar survey and would appreciate it very much if you would kindly click the link and take this very short (20 question) survey for me.

Let me say that I did not try to make it all-complete. Thus, the list of steel brands is far from complete, especially in the lap steel department, but I just put a bunch of brands that quickly came to mind, for purposes of testing the survey.

If you have 3 minutes to spare, please click the link below and take the quick survey. If anybody cares, I can even present the results afterwards.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Jimbeaux

ok Jimbeaux, i did it. was this a payed gig?

Never mind

I did the survey. I was as honest as possible. I hope your prototype is a success.

Jim, this survey has potential. I hope you plan on making it a complete steel guitar survey. Would be very interesting.

Thanks for all your help so far, everybody. We already have 28 completed surveys, which is great. That will give me a data set to mess around with tomorrow morning before I have to go "live" with my real survey on medical treatments.

Keep 'em comin'!

Hey Jim,
Show Pro has a dubya on the end of the Sho.

I should take spelling advice from a man who spells "W" as "dubya"?

At least it wasn't the guy that asked if it was a "payed" gig...
No offense, Chuck...

Good survey Jim. Best to you.

Bill Stafford

Jim good luck and yeah when you get a chance the results of your test survey would be interesting to see. Skip - no offense taken. One of the questions was about paid gigs. Im a smarta** sometimes, I figure I got digs coming back at me.

Anytime, Jimbeaux, anytime.

took your survey from Missouri. Hope this helps. Larry B.

I didn't know there was gonna be a test....



Really, though, it was fun. One question: Under the category, "What type of music do you enjoy playing?" did "Rock" include all the subgenres of heavy metal? Thanks

Gott'er Dun----Jack

Nice survey. Will you be posting the results?

Short & Sweet...Look forward to the final results. Thanks for your time/effort in providing this survey Jim...Carl

Wow! Aren't you guys great? I already have 126 responses in less than 6 hours! I'll be very happy if my main survey gets that many in 6 days!! Thanks everybody!

And, yes, I will post some of the results. It may take me awhile to get to it, but I'll git'er dun.

I just now saw it Jim, tis done.
Jerry

did it Jim

Nice survey, but a couple of questions should have allowed a range instead of a single whole number, like the hours a week of practice and number of gigs per month. Those never remain a constant. But nice anyway.

You're not trying to steel any of our secret licks are you?

Tony

I done it. See you in a few days in Ireland.

Question.. How many steel players were up at 3.00am in the morning with a bad back ache.. There's a tick from me..

Wow! We're over 170 complete questionnaires; thanks! Wonder how many there will be in the morning when I wake up??

And, Richard Sinkler, thanks for your good suggestion which I'll consider if I ever decide to revise this and do it again.
