Hi Guys,
I thought I would take the time to introduce myself. My name is Scott Poley, I'm from Liverpool, home of The Beatles, England. I'm currently playing steel in a couple of bands, in particular The Good Intentions.
I was inspired to play the steel after inheriting my Grandad's George Jones, Charlie Pride and Merle Haggard records. I just love the high-lonesome sound of a steel played well. I use one of Gary Carpenters finest Rains D-10's, it's a beauty.
Anyhoo, enough about me, thank you all for all the useful tips and advice. I look forward to talking to you on the forum. Best
Scott

Scott; Welcome to the Forum !! I began to play professionally while stationed at RAF Fairford in the early sixties. I have vivid recollections of your homeland and the music of those times. You'll find this to be a fun place full of information and friendship. Hope to chat with you here in the future...
Regards, Pau;  |

| Welcome Scott it's good to have you here. It's good for us "seasoned citizens" to have younger people show interest in the pedal steel. Thanks for signing on. Did David Hartley have any influence on you getting a Rains? |

Thanks guys, it a pleasure to meet you. Ben, I'd come across Rains on the web before I heard Dave, but boy oh boy he knows what to do with it! I have an Auntie who lives in Dallas, so I drove over to Fortworth to meet Gary and the guys at the Rains factory. Gary made me so welcome and was more than happy to discuss all of my dumb beginner questions and showed me a couple of great licks. I love my Rains! Cheers ben and paul, I look forward to chatting with you on the forum
Scott

Welcome to the forum, Scott!
Do you know the licks to "Sally G", in case McCartney comes back to town and wants to jam?

A big welcome from Down Under to the forums, Scott.
This instrument really does have a habit of getting around, doesn't it?

The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being. |
