Pedal steel instruction DC metro area

Post by Jeffrey Weintraub »

. I have recently purchased my first pedal steel a Fessenden 8 shot. I have guitar background but zero on pedal steel. I think I would get a better understanding with face to face lessons. Can anyone recommend a teacher in Maryland or DC? Thank you. Jeff W

The first two that spring to mind to ask are Gary Gimble and Tommy Auldridge.
But you chose a guitar that falls short of what the standard pedal steel can do, and this might raise the floor of frustration.
Have you decided on your copedent?
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects
