The Steel Guitar Forum

If we added all the years of musical experience from everyone who frequents this great forum, wonder how many years exprience we would have? I am brand new almost to PSG but I can count the 2 years that I took lessons on that old lap steel. So thats 2 whole years for me How long you boys been at this? Wonder who has the most years by now.

Rick

52 for me. I should be president of the
"Old Geezers and Steelers Association".

Jerry

Larry Behm

41yrs with 5yrs off for good behavior,I started in 57 [actually I quit from 63 to 67,] And I thought I was old! Man theres some longevity out trere! >au

45 yrs of music, 37 of playing in bands, is there something else?

Oh, I hate to think about this, but I will join in the fun. 65 years Minus 3yrs (WWII)playing steel, but took out a lot of time to earn a living...LOL....al

I kinda hate to admit to being this old, but I've been at it 57 years. Jody.

61 years total. Started at age 4. 52 years professonally. Hell, I don't think I'm any better than I was at 10 or 11,,,,probably not as wise either.... Had a lot of fun though. Enjoy playing now more than ever.

If you play 'em, play 'em good!
If you build 'em, build 'em good!

You People must be like Fine Wine considering the years i see on your posts !
i've been playin Guitar for 35 years + Steel for 15.
Does that make me a Grand Cru ?
Steel am fine, like the Wine !
Vive la France !

No Grand Cru, Crowbear. Probably a non-vintage 3 liter jug!

So, how far are you from St. Emillion? I use to suck down some great red from a small vineyard, Chateau Lescours. Their product hasn't been around here in a long time and I'm well overdue for a fill up. And yes, please administer any spell check where needed!

I'm 37 and have been playing steel since age 17...20yrs. I thought that was a long time, but, compared to everybody else's 50+ I'm kind of ashamed!

30 years on steel. 10 years prior on drums.

Steel a Grand Crew.....

If my math is better than my steel playing these days I must have started when Gene Jones did. I started with Montgomery Ward
6 string lap steel in November of 1946 & wanted to make those fills like the guy on Gene Autry's Melody Ranch. His radio program.(Was that the name of it?) I said I wished I knew that tuning & Bobbe's Dad (my brother) said it sounds like a minor chord to me. I later found it to be the C# min tuning by cranking up the B (2nd string) to C#.

51 years for me, Hey jerry Roller is that a misprint, or have you started a new group?
