I have been at it 1 year to the day. I got my Carter Starter from Shakey, who refused to take payment until I had told him I was happy with it.

This sounds like Fawlty Towers...the Psychiatrist. 'About normal if you must ask'

Bloody years Dave and still love the instrument. Still making believe that that certain speaker or volume pedal will complete the jigsaw and I'll be a real steel player.

When and why did you start then?

It'll be five years in March next year. And I'm still no further on. Oh god...

Five or so years for me too. Reminds me of that old saying "I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left"-I too feel as though I know less than when I started.

2 enjoyable years, come March. The fog is slowly lifting and chords have started to appear. A long road stretches out in front of me and although I'll never get too far I'm going to make the most of the journey.
What an incredible instrument.

Gulp. It will be ten years in June. Thought I would be "good" by now!! I'm still making progress but bloody hell it's uphill. Pedal steel is by far the most engaging and fun pastime I've ever got into though. I'm on my third band and I've met a lot of good people through playing. Made it on to CD & vinyl too so I can't complain. Many, many hours spent & no regrets. :guitar:

Bullshit!! you guys that say you have not improved...... y'all got short memories... Jason I heard play at DH meeting and its obvious DH has taught you a lot all it needs now is seat time to smooth it out a bit...... and the rest of you think back to when you first saw the beast and did not have a clue..... Yes you have all come a good way down the road...
I know its discouraging to see someone who appears to be a natural at it (and we have a few in our midst) but ask any of them and they will tell you "you don't get it for nothing!"

Rant over, going back to bed now ... if you can't sleep play

And we were dedicated having lots of seat time too.

Must be fine five years now, still feel very much like I've just started.
