Im currently learning pedal steel, i know the basic major chords, and can play simple melodies, and recently i got stuck on what to learn next.
Can anyone write some sort of step by step list on what to learn? It would help me much

Hey Emil, I'm the teacher Doug Taylor so kindly recommended.
My sequential and easy-to-understand curriculum starts with basic picking and blocking; then goes through the 3 positions for major chords and using those in a bunch of chord progressions; touches on listening skills so you can figure out chords and melodies by ear; then minor and dominant 7 chords; and much more. You learn pertinent songs throughout.
My emphasis is not on licks, but musicianship to help new players survive the bandstand.
So if you can, work on things in that order on your own. If you'd like some guidance and are up for Skype lessons, contact me, please. It's helpful to have help and feedback.
All best,
