The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi Guys,

I've had my steel for about a year, i've kinda worked my way round the chords and can now find at least two positions of every chord (within reason) I know a few nice sounding tunes and some licks, intos and turnarounds etc. The wall i keep hitting is i go blank as soon as i play to music, i can get by just playing along with the chords, but im never quite sure what notes or scales i should be using for backup licks etc i.e. If the progression is C C G F and i want to play a fill over the f at the end, i can find the F no problem but what do i play?? Am i just missing a few vital scales??? I've looked at getting the 'Up from the top' series tuition guides but the're a lot of money and im not entirely sure its what i need.

Cheers guys
Darren

That is so gracious of you to give your time to make and post those videos, Mickey.

You and Greg Cutshaw really add class to this place! Others do too, but you two come to mind because of all the info you share with everyone...
