The British Steelies Society

Hello All,

It's Greg Holme from London!
I'm not a newbie to the steel guitar as such but I havent used this forum for a very long time and now I want to use it I can't find my login or password or anything!
I'm pretty certain I registered years ago. I even searched for some old posts I might have made - what an idiot, eh? I think it's what's known as a "senior moment" !

Anyway I'm starting again now, so once again - Hello everyone!

Greg

Welcome (back) Greg, there's nothing more frustrating than trying to remember those pesky passwords and pin numbers!
All the best for the triumphant return!

Hi Greg, welcome once more, hope you manage to stay with us this time, remind us about yourself, where are you from? are you a complete beginner? Donny.

Hi Donny,
I'm in South East London.
I've been playing pedal steel for a bit over 10 years, part time whilst working as an architect.
I played with a few quite varied London bands over that time, but sadly ( I guess in common with many others) gigging died a death with the pandemic and I havent really resumed.
I retired from work last December and therefore I want to do more playing, however in the meantime I've been really busy with a building project at home, so not much time sat at the steel as yet!

Whilst I'm not gigging the plan is to learn the C6 neck!
I have a couple of late 70s Sho Buds - a S10 Pro 1 3+4 and a D10 Superpro 8+4

Cheers
Greg
