The British Steelies Society

Hello everyone, My name is Al and I'm delighted to join your forum. I am Scottish but have lived near Cork in Ireland for a number of years. I have been playing guitar for a while, and more recently lap steel. I am planning to start pedal steel in the near future and am sure I will find a lot of great information and beginner tips here.

cheers

Hi Ali,

Welcome to the forum. As you've already found out, this is a great place to get any info regarding steels of all types. Good luck with the pedals

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, and the links Danny. There certainly is a quite a lot more to the pedal steel than I ever imagined. I am currently awaiting payment for a load of music gear I'm selling, and should have the funds to purchase a pedal steel within the next few weeks. Very excited about the journey ahead.

cheers

Al

Hi Al ,welcome to the world of pedalsteel. I wonder if you know about the irish steel guitar festival in Dublin ,might give you something
to think about. There some world class players attend it. Regards Derek from N/E England

Wow, I had no idea about the Irish Steel Festival. Unfortunately, I'm tied up next weekend or else I would definitely have made the trip. I have seen some of these guys awesome videos on youtube.
