I hope Im posting in the right section here  ...but Im looking for instruction on Western Swing on the E9th - anything someone would recommend?
I've seen Doug Jernigan sells his "Swingin E9th" ... which sounds perfect ...also the Herb Steiner "Swingin on E9th vols 1 and 2" Any opinions on these? I wanted to hear from someone who's used them before I buy them myself....or is there something else out there?
thanks! |

| I'm only familar with Herb Steiners courses but I can say that they're very good and a lot of fun to play. I was a little confused at first with the "#'s" and "b" symbols he uses in his tabs instead of the more common symbols for the pedals and levers that you usually see but his tablature is laid out in a manner that makes you learn what each pedal and lever does rather than just knowin which pedal or lever to use and just after the first night the symbols he uses made a lot of sense to me. |

Check out www.steppingstonemusic.com Rick and Jan have some great stuff on C6th sounds on the E9th.
Really worth a look. |

I collect instructional material for several reasons. I just got a copy of Doug's Swinging on E9 course to check it out... it's very good, with a lot of nice chordal tricks. Nice course. Herb's are great as well.
Jeff Newman had some great swing on E9 stuff some years back. |

Another recommendation for Jody Cameron's DVD. I recently got a copy and Jody has some very good insight for chord structure and movement...plus, he is a great player to listen to.
I've been doing "c6" on "9" for quite some time now but had never moved away from just lowering the E's and moving the bar, like non-pedal steels. Jody will get you using those pedals and hearing new sounds.
Thanks Jody!

I'm working through Herb Steiner's first course as well as Doug Jernigan's. A couple details that I never saw mentioned before:
- Herb's uses midi/BIAB (or similar) accompaniment, with two versions of each tune, one with steel and one without. Doug's is just with a shaker as metronome, one track with steel only.
- Herb's treats the material like more traditional Western Swing, ie no pedal moves within chords, only to get shapes (so far, anyway). Doug's incorporates pedal moves
- There's only one duplicate song (Night Life) between the two, so I'm glad I've got both. Doug's versions are a bit longer, and I think I prefer the pedal/lever use a bit more, but I'm really liking all the material in both courses. |
