Welcome Page

THE STEEL GUITAR NETWORK

Hello! My name is Hank Ruf and I've been playing the steel guitar since I was 11 years old and enjoyed every minute of it. I was the President of the Ozark Steel Guitar Association in Branson Missouri for 5 years and the president of the Heartland Steel Guitar Association in Kansas City MO. I created The Steel Guitar Network (TSGN) in May 2009 because I want to keep the steel guitar alive. Please help me do that. Our website is a mix of many things... mainly a community of amazing people who are here because we are passionate about the steel guitar. We strive to be a resource center, helping people learn more about all aspects of the steel guitar.

Be sure to read our disclaimer >>> CLICK to read DISCLAIMER After reading disclaimer and you don't agree with it you can cancel your membership.

Because of copyright issues and concerns, members need to be sure to get permission from the performer or producer to post all music and videos and the permission has to be included in the posting. This includes member's pages or any other section on TSGN. Any music or videos that do not include permission will be removed. Unfortunately, this is necessary to avoid any legal problems.

Keep in mind, the TSGN Music and Video players are designed primarily for members to post their own stuff. I appreciate everyone's support in following this request.
