My name is Chris Allen Burke.
My in home teaching facility and shop is located in Long Beach CA.
And here's some information about me.
I have been playing pedal steel for over 30 years.
I have been teaching it for over 15 years.
I have been on hundreds of recording sessions and have performed thousands of live gigs.
I bring all this experience to my lessons for you, to help you enjoy learning the universe of pedal steel guitar.
My lessons are geared from the beginning level and beyond. I teach right hand palm and pick blocking techniques as well as left hand bar control and posture.
I make suggestions and recommendations which will aide in both physical comfort and performance abilities. I have extensive musical knowledge that I share with all of my students.
My lesson plans for both the E9th and C6th pedal steel tunings are interesting, challenging and fun. I can also teach Dobro and lap steel to the "with out pedals" player.
Each lesson will be designed for your individual abilities, comprehension and style.
You will have the opportunity to learn single note licks and chord melodies as well as solo ideas, turn arounds, intros and outros.
I have written and tabbed out dozens of songs new and old and I will go over each one at a pace that is comfortable for you.
I share with and educate my students in basic to advanced music theory depending on the direction of your interests.
I also advise my students on methods to help streamline practices' so that their study time is maximized.
I can recomend equipment to accommodate your needs and I have many steel guitar accessories available for purchase at my studio / shop.
Lastly, I am a certified repair technician with factory training. So, what that means for you is that I have the knowledge and ability to make adjustments, repairs and modifications to almost all makes and models of pedal steel guitars.
Please call or e-mail me and we can discuss your pedal steel interests.
