I made a playlist to keep these in one spot.

I especially recommend Aaron Marshall's videos. https://www.youtube.com/c/SteelPicking

I have used and highly recommend:

I also think this is great;

If you want to try some one on one over Skype there are a few hundred great steel players that can help you out. I teach online lessons over Skype pretty often. So get in touch if you want to see if I could help.

A great guy in Europe is

There would be no language barrier with Johan.

It might be good to have some one on one lessons at first in order to get some help with basic ergonomics.

Hey Edward, I get a message that the playlist doesn't exist. Is there another way I could search for it?

I recommend John McClung from right here on the forum. His course is well thought out and puts beginning players on a logical path to understanding the fretboard, tightening up their technique, and improving their musicianship. I completed his course and my playing and knowledge of musical theory both took huge leaps forward. John is sure to get you going in the right direction so give him a call or send him a PM.
