I find It's a take a little.. give a little.. receive a little between the two. Guitar and Steel can call and respond, even dance, communicate together and mimic each other. So I find when I change over from one I get little bits of knowledge that transcends back and forth. Most importantly six string & steel has taught me again 'Less is always more'. I start there first..then go off into the hot licks and speed guitar realm, I'm always learning, changing, and improving both.

| As a guitar player who has switched completely to steel these days, when I go back to guitar the chops have diminished greatly, of course, but I do find that I play solos more lyrically and with less filler. I think steel has helped me edit my guitar playing better. |

I've been playing guitar again after not playing for several years, and I was able to achieve something that I was striving to do, which is unlearn all of my bad habits. My approach to the neck is different--not really guided at all by my steel playing, but maybe by some earlier guitar lessons which were based on Charlie Banacos' teachings to Mike Stern.
