The Steel Guitar Forum

10. You have silverware that replaced parts of your PSG that's broken, and still use them.

9. You still play with a band that has had more members quit than are now in the band.

8. Your reverb quit and you had to sit out the rest of the night.

7. Your bank regularly cashes checks made out to your stage name.

6. You tend to put the legs of your steel in the same indentations in the linoleum at the Eagles every week.

5. You see other people play things you can't play and you say it's because you don't want to play "this new stuff".

4. You don't buy Duct Tape™ because you can always find enough to use stuck on the stage from the last band.

3. You replace only the strings that break, and buy a dozen 17s 10s and 36s once every couple years.

2. Your dog looks guilty whenever you point at the legs of your steel, and say " Did you do that?"

1. You are better at juvenile knife games than at playing steel guitar.

Isn't that how Joseph Kekuku started this whole game in the first place?

A and B pedals are shiny, C pedal totally dull.

ROTFL.

The C pedal line too LOL.

I'll add:
Two levers, but not too sure what they do. Better not try them in front of the club manager.

Half pedals? Why??

Way To Survive sounds like Steel Guitar Rag and visa versa<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by David L. Donald on 29 May 2004 at 04:00 AM.]</p></FONT>

You accidently left your tuner at home and had to sit out for the night

Works for G, C, Em, gosh it is a whole score in itself.

Strings 7 & 9 are missing and nobody notices...

Rather than hold out for steak, taters and gravey, you opt for someone else's left-over
cold, greasy french fries........

If you start a new "How do you Tune" thread on the Forum

so people really do use the tenth string?

Now don't be treading so lightly on the things I have achieved...steel hacker....golf hacker.....computer hacker...

Which end do you put the capo on? Jennings

You mean we are supposed to tuned this arnin' board?

Or, you look down and notice the black and white keys are missing.

By the way Larry, wouldn't that be the A pedal used on that third lick?

When the guitar player in the band can make more steel licks than you can.

When you post a question in "Pedal Steel" that I can answer......

When you get out your label maker and mark ALL the notes on your fret board, and what each pedal and knee lever does.

When you keep a minimum of three bars within easy reach because you keep dropping them in the middle of songs.

13. Keeps used strings "just in case."
