It is easy to play the steel guitar. Playing so that the audience finds it pleasing is the difficult act.

I'm sure they do exist, but you will learn more if you do it yourself. It won't take you long, especially after you do the first one.
Hint: you may want a bass clef with C6.
Prize: try transposing something in four part harmony up an octave and playing it on steel. I'm not religious, but God's got a lot of good tunes, in four parts, in hymnals, for free, all over everywhere.
Three picks? Leave out the 5th of the chord unless it's in the melody or altered.
Piano players can do it in their sleep; you can do it (with some anxiety) in a couple of months.
Less equipment, more practice.
