WANTED: Jeff Newman DVD Courses For Beginner

[Donald Roach]

My 10 year old son recently starting playing steel and I need to find some reasonably priced resources for him to learn from. He is playing a 12 string with an extended E9 tuning, so any beginner/intermediate level dvd related to the E9 tuning would help out.

From going to Jeff Newman's website I see that he has several DVD's available that would fit the bill .. plus his technique/material comes highly recommended by a number of members with which I have spoken.

I don't have a record player or cassette player so that is not an option, but if you have some DVD's laying around that you would be willing to part with to keep the great tradtion of steel guitar alive in america's youth, please contact me.

Donnie-

Just sent out 5 Jeff Newman DVDs. Should have em by end of week.

Ran into Tommy White in WalMart the other day and he said he was concerned there weren't a lot of young players coming along. Maybe you got one!

Bless you and have a great time.

No doubt about it!!

Dane took the steel out for the first time to a jam on Saturday and he did a fine job; of course at this point in the game he is only using strings 3 thru 6 (except when playing 7th chords), the A & B Pedals, and the LKR knee lever.

We certainly have alot of music theory to cover before he gets as comfortable with the steel as he is with the banjo .. but I am quite sure that he is hooked on this instrument. On more than one occassion I have awaken in the middle of the night to find him plucking away at an unamplified steel guitar .. of course, being the responsible father, I always make him go to bed .. but it is nice to see him so excited about playing.

I have heard so many good points about Jeff Newman's material that I have to include it in Dane's musical curriculum. Thank you so much for sending this material out to him.
