Hi Karen,
The steel is always busy in that tune!

Nice job. I watched your other vids as well.
I would be pleased to go see your band play anytime!

thanks for the kind words guys. I have a long way to go but I work hard and have a great time playing with Girl Howdy. I have been working on playing less, and having my solo's go somewhere instead of just a bunch of licks thrown together. I am learning on the job which i think is the best way to learn. I love the pedal steel so much and just want to keep improving. I never listened to country music before I started playing steel. The pedal steel guitar has opened a whole new world to me and I would be lost if it wasn't for my friends on the forum to help me along

Sounds good, Karen. It looks like you're playing your Jackson through the Twin Reverb...? That same night I was playing steel one block away from you folks, at the Greenfield Moose Club. Small world! Keep up the good work!

Hi Doug thanks !! Twin reverb yes before it fell over and broke.

Bob Metzger has it now he is modding it for steel I pick it up tomorrow !
Check out One Whiskey (to Cry) as well it is an original tune by Paula I think it came out really good.

Thanks Susan !
I appreciate all the feedback I am going to focus on blocking over the next few months.... It will be tedious but I think it will make a positive difference in my playing and tone.
