Summary of This Method
This book is designed to guide you step by step in discovering the pedal steel guitar, with a clear and playing-oriented progression. It covers the essential fundamentals to get started well: how to tune the instrument, which picks to choose and how to use them, as well as the basic elements related to slide playing to achieve a precise, singing, and controlled sound.
The method also takes the time to explain the signs and symbols commonly encountered, to make reading more intuitive and avoid blockages from the very first pages. A focus is also placed on right-hand and left-hand positions, a key point to gain precision, consistency, and clean sound, especially on an instrument as demanding in coordination.
Throughout the book, musical examples illustrate the concepts, allowing a quick transition from theory to actual playing. A selection of practice pieces, ranging from easy to intermediate, helps structure your work and progressively develop the typical reflexes of the pedal steel in a country context. The entire content is written for E9 tuning and presented both in standard notation and tablature, an ideal duo for effective learning regardless of your reading level.
