This is the kind of simple question which could spur a debate, but which of the various instruction courses would anyone recommend for the C6? Aside from wanting to rock 'n' roll a little, I am also drawn to the more complex jazz harmony aspect (must be the trombone player in me). Although I am still a beginner, I have already decided to take the 3-finger-pick route if that makes any difference.

Start with the Emmons and the Jeffran.

I would agree on Buddy's course for sure - get it from Jim Palenscar. I have not seen Jeff's, so can't comment on it.

Steel guitar courses can be helpful, but I'd encourage you to learn where the scales and chord inversions are, like on a piano or a guitar. As a 'boner you might already know the theory behind all this, so it's just a matter of applying it to a steel guitar.

Thank you all for your help. I am in Newbury quite often and I shall give Gerry a call. I shall invest in either or both of Emmons and Newman. Cal - yes, I am ok on the theory and I can figure out what the pedals do, and of course for me the left hand is the easiest part of all! But the right hand is where I need the most help as all the guitar playing I've ever done is bass.

I'll ditto what Cal said, and point out that on the C6th neck, there's a pocket available for just about every string can be just about any tone of the chord. A lot to learn there (a week to learn, a lifetime to master?).
