Pedal Steel Lessons in the Triangle (NC)

Hey all!

I just moved down to Durham, North Carolina. I'm looking to take some pedal steel lessons and was wondering if anybody knew anybody in the area. I'm willing to drive 2-3 hours or so every few weeks for a lesson.

Best,
James

Greg Reading - steel player for Chatham County Line, and Nathan Golub with 2 Dollar Pistols and John Howie are both triangle based.

I think they are both here on the forum. Donâ€™t know if they teach, but might be a good starting point.

Also reach out to forum member Clyde Mattocks, a really fine long time experienced player , highly skilled, and I will add, a good guy. Even though we have not actually seen each other in a whole bunch of years

Clyde's in your area.

I reached out to Clyde a number of years ago about lessons. He told me he wasnâ€™t teaching anymore, although that might have changed.

James is a great guy, and very talented. We did a few lessons and they were good fun. Whomever takes him on will have a very good experience...

Hi, Doug Palmer is in Greensboro, not sure if he's still giving lessons but a great option if so.
