The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi,
Just started playing last Nov. Have played reg. guitar for many years until my fingers on my left hand started to cause me pain. Old age I guess. Thought I would try the steel and am having a great time. Don't think my wife is but I offered her my ear plugs. I am 62 and it is a little more difficult then when younger. I have gotten so much information here and I am glad I am finely a member. I will probably have a lot of dumb questions, so thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome, George, from a almost beginning 57 yo.

The steel is relaxing, daunting, challenging, and fun. I am just beginning again after about seven years. I remember a little but I am learning most of it all over again.

What kind of steel are you playing? I am starting out on a 12-string.

Hi George, welcome.
No question is too dumb because everybody else had to ask it them selves sometime.
Or invent a solution... then we started asking them questions.

I have a GFI Student 3/4 with a Peavey 112.

Welcome George to this wonderful world of knowledge and fellowship.....its a great place..

Hey there George,
I just started a couple of years ago at age 45. The best thing I ever did. Listen to everyone's advice, then play it your way.
