The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey -
I'm looking for a one-off lesson in Nashville in October.

I'm a Canadian, who's passing through Nashville for the first time. I just picked up the pedal steel a month or two ago, and I'd like to get a lesson. Who's the best bang for my (Canadian) buck?

Thanks - Alan Judson, Hamilton, ON

I'm sure there are many excellent options, based on who's available, but I'd highly recommend Buck Reid if he's available. A bit outside of town, but able to teach effectively at whatever level you're at, top to bottom. Also, a truly great guy, with extremely reasonable rates, with respect to our depressing dollar exchange.

I believe Mike Sweeney teaches PSG in Nashville as well, you can PM him here on the forum

Travis Toy would be an excellent option as well if he happens to be in town.

Thanks, I'll give some of them a ring!

Doug Jernigan gives lessons. I just emailed him this morning about one next week. His website is digndoug.com.

Buck Reid is also a good choice when he's in town.

Hi Alan... I will be in town in October and would be happy to help if you haven't already found a teacher! Please shoot me an email if you're interested at buckreid@comcast.net .

Thanks guys for the kudos!!

Buck Reid!

total badass, couldn't meet a sweeter guy.

Buck and/or Doug!
