The Steel Guitar Forum

Just curious if anyone has a recommendation for pre-recorded lap steel lessons, especially that relate to blues and center on 151351 tunings like open-D or E. I've seen a few people offering lessons online and have also seen a few DVD offerings from Bob Brozman. Thought I would ask to see if anyone has a particularly strong recommendation towards one they've had a good experience with.

I would also be open to taking lessons from someone in the north Atlanta area, but the instructors I'm familiar with are located too far from where I live.

Happy New Year to everyone,
Justin

Troy Brenningmeyer has downloadable lessons on Open D tuning that are very good. I have some of them and am very pleased with the instruction.

Hi, Justin, I might be a bit of a trek for you as I teach out of my recording studio south of Athens. I generally play the open E/ D tuning you favor, I find it ideal for blues, rock, americana. I do have a comprehensive course available for that tuning. Top of the page, here. Drop me a note if I can be of any help. http://www.markvanallen.com/store_books.html

Hey Mark, you probably wouldn't remember but I took a pedal steel lesson from you several years ago and loved your teaching, but the 180 mile round trip made it impossible to do regularly. Was wondering if anyone else might be closer than Athens or Stone Mountain.

I do remember! Reach out to Steve Cunningham here on the forum, and see if he can make some lesson time for you. He's a monster! Best of luck!
