The Steel Guitar Forum

What have you folks found to be the best books/dvd/videos for C6 six and 8 string?
Thanks in advance

Jerry,
If you right click on the link you will get a drop down menu. Choose "save target as" and you will be able to save the video to your hard drive.
I'm just starting out on pedal steel and found the video to be very useful...thanks Ann.
