Hi all, just had to back track for anyone contemplating buying or learning to play the steel, just a few hint's to help them along the way.
No fancy remark's required from you big boy's, I know it's not 100% but if it bring's a few newby's in all well and good.

Hi Slimbo, another session well worth the time, basic stuff but well put across. Really looked forward to getting home and watching it as the company website doesn't allow access to these sites.

On the subject of finger picks, some people I have noticed, such as Gerry Hogan whom I saw recently with Albert Lee, plays with 3 finger picks. Are there any pro's and con's on this subject, particularly as the basic grips are shown as three strings, and tab is generally written as three note goups?

Looking forward to the third in the series. Best wishes, H.

Enjoying these two video's Slimbo has done, gonna have a go at the instrumental one, I have progressed past the Mickey Adams easy ones now but they seem to jump a fair distance up to the next ones :)

Hi Slim
Much appreciated you taking time out to help us strugglers. Have you considered one to one tuition from your home base in Reading? Your technique is some something that I lack.
