| The internets made learning absolete. Learning is by doing, and I love learning by stealing! |

I agree with everyone.
I have one point of recommendation to make.
The pedal steel is the instrument that consumes my thoughts everyday.
I am so obsessed with it, I take two ledger files with songs, hints, tips and some tab with me to bed.
Sometimes I fall asleep with books still in my hands.
I want to become good before I am too old to master it.
It took me the best part of two years to learn to play some songs fluently.
Only when I started practicing scales my playing improved dramatically.
Now my recommendation. I think more emphasis should be put on scales etc.
Why dont the instruction books follow these rules from the beginning?
I can only hope Jim Cohen and Christopher Woitach will support me.
Let the games begin!

At the risk of being serious for a moment, scales are the absolute basis of learning to play any instrument. I used to teach trombone. When kids asked why they had to learn scales as well as melodies, I would tell them that a scale is the best-known tune there is, and who will take you seriously if you don't know it?

Herb speaks with the authority of one who is also a fine non-pedal player. The pedal guitar may have been invented to furnish chord changes, but in so doing it has facilitated harmonised scales without slants. These are clearly basic melodic building-blocks and as a beginner I know that they will repay study.
