Hi,
I'm Tom (22 years old), big classic country fan. I bought a Stage One pedal steel a few months back.

Thanks. I'm in Derby. The playing is progressing very slowly. I signed up to the Paul Franklin Method course, but I must admit that I do find the instrument very difficult compared to guitar.

Hi Tom, as someone who went from guitar to PS, I can verify, it is hard to begin with. At times you think I'll never get the hang of it, however, as time goes on and if you practice on a regular basis, it starts to come easier and eventually you get it.

It is worth all the sweat and tears, it is a very rewarding instrument to play.

Welcome to the forum, and hope it starts to get easier for you,

Geoff
