Twelfth Year On Steel

Post by Brett Day »

Wow, I can't believe this year will be my twelfth year on steel guitar. On December 25th, 1999, I sat down behind my first steel and played with picks and bar for the first time! I'm now playin' my best and favorite steel guitar-my Jackson BlackJack Custom built by my friends at the Jackson Steel Guitar Co. and I'm lovin' my steel guitar experience more and more every year-No stoppin' for me!

Congratulations Brett.....you're in it for the long haul like the rest of us!!!

You've made a wise choice with that Jackson Blackjack Custom.....if I was in a finacial position to purchase a new guitar Jackson would be first on my list as I really like the Madison '63 model.


Keep pickin and a grinnin!!

Good going, Bret. I've enjoyed your posts and videos. Keep up the good work.

It is easy to play the steel guitar. Playing so that the audience finds it pleasing is the difficult act.

That's Great To Hear! I know how much you love the Steel guitar! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your supportive family! Come see us in Woodruff at The Woodruff Opry on Saturday's. There are two bands that rotate every two weeks, I play Steel in one and CB Blackwell plays Steel in the other one so, you will hear Steel.
