The Steel Guitar Forum

Looking for Ohio PSG guys to possibly meet, swap stories, gig prospects, all that cool stuff.

I own a couple steels and a few amps...

Email me...

Pleasure to meet you Dick.
What's your favorite Steel guitar?
I'm in Columbus

No favs, play what I can afford, that will still work. Mostly Peavey Amps, but I'm not locked into that. Try a search on "Beginners Notes".

You've got some sweet tabs on there Mr. Sexton.
I'll be trying them ALL

I'm in Toledo, been playing since late 70's but not full time for many years. These days it's my favorite instrument to play, guitar 2nd. Just recently was relieved of my duties in a local C&W band as the singer couldn't hold a note and blamed my intonation!?.... It's ok, modern C&W music has very little steel anyway. Always looking for an outlet to play.

I think I worked with that singer

Here in Medina, OH. I have 2 D-10's, a U-12 and a S-10 in storage in WV. Hilton products and Peavey electronics. I've always said that I do not do any lead singing because there are already too many people that can't sing but do. The world doesn't need any more.[/quote]

Sagamore/Northfield area. Retired. '74 Shobud S-10, 3&6, Putting together a '73 Bud, will be 3&5, '63 Fingertip S-10, down with James and Ricky right now, will be at least 3&6. Split Twin. Used to gig 5 to 7 nights a weeks, +studio work. Worked for a sort while at Performance Guitars. Bad Tinnitus.

Mansfield Ohio here. Believe me there is a steel player on every street in Ohio.

I hope so and I'm hoping to find some guys around here to swap licks with.
I used to know about 20 of us, now there's about 3.

Old Zanesville boy, splitting my time between Millersport / Nashville...

Heck, even gonna play a couple of gigs around here in December!

I cannot call myself a steel player. ( I've got three or four chord positions and a few licks.) But I stay and work a half hour south of Canton and willing to jam. Rick at Hummingbird Music is a good source of steel guitars and accessories in the area. Good teacher too if I could ever swing free during the day to get on his schedule.

Just saw a Cincinnati-based band called Wussy on a CBS-TV morning news program. They have a John Erhardt on steel. Anyone in OH know him? Couldn't tell if hew playing a Maverick or some sort of Fender S-10 with an ash-tray keyhead.

I am originally from Athens and now live in Middleport. I worked almost 20 yrs playing steel including 12 yrs. at Renfro Valley as the staff steeler. Don't get to play much anymore, there is nothing going on around here. Havent been to the jam in Columbus in over a year because of work. Those were a lot of fun!!!!

Hello-welcome aboard. I started playing around 1976. I got a call saying that a Johnnie Lee wanted a steel player. I worked with the Opry circuit and Hee Haw;and places I should not have been in. I left the secular side of that, and now I now pastor a church in Middletown, I play my steel in church. I have a Sho Bud Super Pro, and a Dekley slim line. I use a Fender Steel King and a Webb.

John,

Seeing that you are in Columbus, you should contact Gary Preston (the OSGA President)... if you haven't already... MANY great players in your area. Here's the link to the most recent jam.

Hi Jerry,
Yes, me and Marvin go back about 35 years.
We used to tear up those honky tonks
You still playing Jerry?

Yeah still playing I didn't know you played though we will have to get together sometime and trade licks.

Sure ! That's why I started this thread Jerry. I got out of steel for a couple years
and sold my Emmons, now I bought another guitar and am hoping to get with some local
fellas to swap licks and trade tricks.

Speaking of PSG players from Ohio; does anyone remember Bennie Gabbert who had a music store in Lebanon Ohio near Middletown? I bought my Maverick and then later on a S-10 from him in 1972-73.
