I am a very good 6 string player, and have some experience on the pedal steel. I'm looking for a good entry level guitar and some instruction help.

1) Any suggestions for a good beginner guitar under $1000?
2) Good (really to the point) E9 instruction DVD's?

Thanks for your input. John T Carlsbad CA.

You should go up to Jim Palenscar's shop in Oceanside and get a guitar and lessons. http://www.steelguitars.me/ Between he and Rick Schmidt, you are where you need to be IMHO

I put together a reference booklet containing chord charts and scales that I use. I should note that it's not a replacement for a good teacher or method book, but a supplement that you might find useful. I'm offering it as a free download here: http://www.jmlmusic.ca/leitepsg/e9_fretboard_reference.php ...Let me know what you think Smile

Try to find a used pro model MSA, here on the forum. Preferrably with 3x4
Look into the Winnie Winston book, "Pedal Steel Guitar", available, here, on the Forum
good luck
Rick
PS: someone here has a nice blonde Sho-bud for sale

No problem Smile ...I teach music in my hometown here, but I have to admit I am a newbie to pedal steel as well. It's really just a compilation of chords and scales I've learned since I started playing. Hope it helps! I still use it all the time.
