How to Back a Band with the Pedal Steel Guitar | Lesson

[@fedeesna2604]

Man, your lessons are great! Been playing six string for a long time...I’m almost 50...and trying to learn pedal steel in Spain is extremely difficult as there are no teachers or many fans of this instrument, so your vídeos are much appreciated. Many thanks!!👍👍👍

[@SteelPicking]

Federico, thanks for the kind words. We are glad to help and promote the steel. Hang in there. Keep Picking! Aaron

[@ethansims3923]

Thank you so much for this lesson. And for this channel really. I’ve been searching for this sound but it’s hard to explain without knowing the right words to describe it.

[@SteelPicking]

You're very welcome! Ethan, don't forget to subscribe and hit the bell so you will know when we post new content. Keep Picking! Aaron

[@onealfarms9967]

Guys got a question why is there two steels is there a key change that one is tuned to one cord I really don’t know I’m not a player but plan on buying one I love that country sound

[@DonHenryJr]

HI Arron, I have been following your lessons for quite some time, now, and I really appreciate the way you bring PSG instruction to us in such a clear and definitive way. Please keep it up. Also, since you have so many lessons posted on KZbin, could you please provide a chart or catalog of some sort that would enable us to find/go back to previous lessons? Sometimes when practicing I recall a lick or something you taught us and want to review it, but finding it again on KZbin can be tricky and time consuming...perhaps you already have this. Lastly, I would be willing to pay for a collection of lessons on a DVD, and I bet many of your followers would, too.Don

[@SteelPicking]

Don, thanks so much for your kind comments. Your idea is really interesting and valid. I will talk to Jacob and see what we can do. I really am glad we are helping promote the PSG and people see the hard work Jacob is doing to make the videos top notch. Thanks again! Aaron

[@johnweaver3610]

@@SteelPickingr. Aaron, I noticed you are playing a Pedalmaster in this video. I was honored to meet Mr. Roy Thomas the maker. I own a Westwind D10/8 which is the brand he made before he bought the pedalmaster brand. Your lessons are really helping me.

[@SteelPicking]

Hey, @@johnweaver3610 I borrowed this guitar while mine was being modified. My dad had a universal 12-string Pedalmaster, and we got to go to Louisiana and meet Mr. Thomas. The Pedalmaster was great sounding and mechanically superb. Glad you got one and hang on to it! Hope you enjoy it as much as my dad enjoyed his! Keep picking!

[@philsaunders6133]

mighty fine Aaron ! your vol. pedal work is second to none .especially on your gospel. Hows about a tutorial ?!! LoL

[@SteelPicking]

Phil, we just finished a video on that very subject. Thanks for your kind words. Stay tuned. Keep picking! Aaron

[@larrydering1598]

Aaron, good solid foundation for beginning to make music.

[@SteelPicking]

Larry, thanks. We wanted to post a few lessons to help the folks starting out. I also try to show how I look at the fret board. Thank you. Aaron

Nice videos Learning a lot. You did a video about tuning and could you make another one to cover the pedal and knee levers many thanks again mick in the UK

[@SteelPicking]

Mick, glad you are learning a lot from my videos. I really enjoy making them. Thanks for the idea and we are actually in the process of covering the pedals and knee levers that are common to the E9th tuning i.e. 3x4. Please stay tuned and many thanks. Aaron

[@kristoffaninkama1393]

Hi Aaron. Thank you for your lessons. Can you guide me to a place where I could buy a good second hand pedal steel guitar please? Thanks.

[@SteelPicking]

You are welcome! You can probably find a good, used steel on the Steel Guitar Forum or sometimes through specific dealers like Justice, etc. At times they sell second hand guitars on their sites. Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for checking out my channel! Keep Picking! Aaron

[@kristoffaninkama1393]

Thank you kindly. I am inspired to buy one following your tutorial. Thank you.

[@SteelPicking]

You are most welcome! I hope you find a great guitar and let me know if I can help you further. Thanks, Aaron

[@kristoffaninkama1393]

New Guitar?!

[@SteelPicking]

I am actually borrowing it from a friend. I have sent my Justice to Fred to add some pulls to it. We will actually have a video about this on the channel in a few days. Glad you noticed but all is well, lol

[@steelgtr]

Thanks. The Justice sounds amazing :)

[@SteelPicking]

Ditto!

[@cincinnatipedalsteel4347]

I'm a justice man Aaron as you may remember, but this guitar sounds great!

[@SteelPicking]

James, yes the Pedal master is a very good guitar. I have enjoyed playing it while I was waiting for my guitar to get back from Fred. Thanks. Aaron
