Despite my limited progress and frustrations with the pedal steel guitar, a lot of which is the fact that I don't like classic country very much and the tuition is all based on that!
I decided to get a Square neck resonator, I got to meet and have a go on Sally Van Meter's resonator years ago at a bluegrass camp. This should be good enough to see if it sticks before I spend 1000s on a sexy Paul Beard resonator
@Phil66 How is the lap steel working out, I'll also be in open G so our Journeys will be fairly close although I'll be more Bluegrass than Blues!
