10. You have silverware that replaced parts of your PSG that's broken, and still use them. 9. You still play with a band that has had more members quit than are now in the band. 8. Your reverb quit and you had to sit out the rest of the night. 7. Your bank regularly cashes checks made out to your stage name. 6. You tend to put the legs of your steel in the same indentations in the linoleum at the Eagles every week. 5. You see other people play things you can't play and you say it's because you don't want to play "this new stuff". 4. You don't buy Duct Tape™ because you can always find enough to use stuck on the stage from the last band. 3. You replace only the strings that break, and buy a dozen 17s 10s and 36s once every couple years. 2. Your dog looks guilty whenever you point at the legs of your steel, and say " Did you do that?" 1. You are better at juvenile knife games than at playing steel guitar. |

When you get out your label maker and mark ALL the notes on your fret board, and what each pedal and knee lever does. |

When you keep a minimum of three bars within easy reach because you keep dropping them in the middle of songs. |

12. Thinks Lloyd Green was the star of "Bonanza." 13. Keeps used strings "just in case." |

You've got a new steel and you're torn between wanting to show it off in public and fear that someone might ask you questions about all those new knee levers that you can't answer.  |

Ahh, shucks!!! I guess you could play that lick with the B pedal. You would really be a hack if you heard the pitch change on those strings (other that cabinet drop). ------------------ |

Your only instrumental is Steel Guitar Rag, and you can only play one verse. Your guitar is an ash-tray Maverick you got on e-Bay for a cool thousand. But, seriously, guys, I've checked my hack credentials against this list, and can't find a thing you've missed. |

Usin' a pair of channel locks, a 3/8" drive extension, a 3/8" x 1/8" drive adapter, and a 1/8" drive deepwell socket to adjust the tuning nuts 'cause the tuning wrench rolled away somewhere never to be seen again... |
