I am pretty new on the PSG, and am having trouble making intros and turn-arounds sound right, is there a set theory on how to play these staple of the pedal steel?

Are you asking how to play them or how to make them up?

My guitar teacher told me that an easy rule of thumb on intros is to just think of the very last line of the song and then use it.

| What Rick said. Just take the last few bars of a verse or chorus for an intro. Repeating the last line can also work as a turn around. Alternatively, the first line or first half of a verse can also work as a turn around. My problem is that sometimes I'm so caught up in the song I just played, I can't always think of how the next song starts, even though I can play it fine once it starts. |

| Delvin, you may not like the older country music, but you should listen to it to learn good intro and turnaround techniques. The newer stuff often has pretty non-descript intros, and a lot of songs now don't have nice steel turnarounds, or extended rides. To hear it done right, listen to some old Tubb, Owens, or Jones' stuff from the '60s (when steel intros were the "norm", and not the "rarity" they are today). |

I had a hard time at first playing intros and kick offs. What I did was learn and memorize a few classics. Its a good idea to think about the chords as well as the licks that make up the intro. If you are having trouble figuring them out by ear this link is a great head start:

Yup What Bob H said.
GREAT site. Has about any turnaround a guy could think of.
If you have the puter power you can further dissect them by slowing them down. Sometimes you can pick things out at very slow speeds better.
