I al looking to buy some instructional info on playing fills and background. Most everything that I have bought is nothing more than scales and tabs on playing solo stuff. I want to find some detail info on what the steel players are doing in the background on the song.

| David, what tuning are you playin with? If it's E9 then Dewitt Scott has a lesson called "Backup Behind The Singer" and it's available right here on the Forum. Click Here. It's also available for C6 non pedal. |

Do you know the best way to learn this stuff?
It's to listen to it over and over, and go to your steel and try to find it, then go back and listen to it again, and go back to your steel and try to find it......
Whilst your doing that, and making mistakes, you'll find other stuff  |

David dont cut yourself short on the scales for that is whats being played also behind the singer also called pad. y just play chords when you hear the voice and fill when they are not, that is if its your turn to be the one filling. again learn those scales

I have a series of backup courses which cover what you are talking about I have 3 for the E9th and 3 for the C6th tuning. Each course contains 4 songs tabbed and a CD. I play the intro and then the singer comes in and I have all the words to each song on the tab and I show where each fill fits around and between the words of each song. I also have some other courses that help in this area. One called 100 Runs and Licks and another which is 25 intros and turnarounds. Being a full time musician for nearly 50 years, I have used everyone of these licks and intros many times on the job so I know they work.

Spent about an hour with Herby's 100 Runs and Licks last night during practice -- I bought that course from the Emmons showroom in '95 and still refer to it to this day (not that I'm much better than I was in '95  ).
It's perfect for what you're looking for, David. I burned it up, along with Scotty's "Backup Pedal Steel," back when I was a neophite. |
