I'm a newbie, living in Santa Clarita, CA. In Northen Los Angeles County. There seems to be a huge vacancy of Steel Guitar Players and Teachers here. The nearest Steel Guitar store is about 200 miles away in San Diego and/or 120 miles away north in Bakersfield. Gary

You might want to try some of the on-line courses/videos that are available. It's not quite the same as a live personal instructor sitting in front of you but it can certainly help. Jeff Newman's courses are a great help. His daughter has taken over the business and posts here on the forum from time to time. Check out their website and see what they have.

I can think of 2 steel guitar builders near you: Bill Asher at AsherGuitars.com, and Tom Burton at ChatsworthGuitars.com.

Good luck in your search.

Thank you guys. Ill check them all out. Can I reach any of them by email through this forum? Im learning as much as I can on line, but for me I think I might learn technique better with a live human. They can spot any bad habits I might be learning on my own. Thanks. Youre all great.
