I think I saw someone post a site or where to find lessons for those who are alrady a bass or guitar picker to learn from if they already know the notes so they can move quicker through the E-9 learning curve.
I have slept since then and may have been dreaming. I did a search but could not find it.
Any help here? Tom |

I've played standard guitar for over 20 years and I've been tackling pedal steel for almost a year now. I feel like the only things that really transfers over to pedal steel are your sense of rhythm, music theory (scale and chord structure), intervals and if you finger pick that'll probably help. I feel like a total beginner on this thing a lot of the time but I've stuck with it and it's really starting to pay off, but you really have to put in the hours. There's really no way around it. I wish there was a magic shortcut. If your not a fingerpicker (I wasn't) I would suggest Joe Wrights technique DVDs to get you started correctly. Also Jeff Newmans material. Good luck. Jason
I also have some cds for sale. check it out http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum18/HTML/000720.html

I'm with Jason. I found that with banjo, mando, and guitar, playing one really helped me learn the other. But psg? Hah! I might as well be trying to learn bagpipes.

| For me, the common "string" linking all string instruments is understanding the importance of being able to comfortably play any musical phrase on ONE string. When you get that, most of the common string wisdom will be easily transferable between different intstruments. Regardless of different interval relationships between 2 or more strings. That was the thing my main guitar teacher taught me years ago that I still try to carry over to steel from guitar and bass. |
