The Steel Guitar Forum

I have recently gotten interested in lap steel after playing pedals for three years and discovered Mike Ihde's sample track in the lap instruction section. Awesome! Besides what's listed on the Forum, what else is available from Mike and this Leavitt tuning? Thanks in advance!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Brandon Housewright on 28 April 2005 at 11:25 AM.]</p></FONT>

I think the Leavitt Book Lap is the only lap instruction Mike Ihde has published. I believe He is working on a Second Volume of Arrangements. He also has a Country Guitar styles Book under Berklee Press. It's got some great pedalsteel lick's transfered over to guitar. He also teaches a Lap steel Lab at Berklee College of Music.That class helped me alot.

His e-mail is :thephotodoctor@comcast.net

Hope That Helps- Dave

Thanks David...I was blown away by him. Last night I couldn't quit thinking about the tuning and what could be done on it. Awesome!
