| What are the best dvd lessons to buy? I have seen a wide variety in prices on different packages on-line and I am not sure how to decide which to try? |

most helpful for me as a beginner was Bruce Boutons.
(this is assuming E9th)
edit: also VERY helpful and free, tho not all necessarily beginner material are Mickey Adams youtube videos.

I think Mickey is maybe planning to do a dvd sometime soon. I hope so..I'd buy it for sure. |

Anything from Jeff Newman, he opened up the world of steel guitar for me.

I second Ken's recommendation.
Tommy's E9 DVD is a lesson in steel-guitar playing and musicianship. I still listen to it just to hear him play.

The Tommy White lesson is not for beginners.
What level are you looking for? |

There's a ton of instructional material out there and all of it's good, depending on what you're looking for.
You haven't said what level you're at or what you want to learn. If you're a beginner, I recommend the Jeff Newman series. Not the cheapest date but worth every nickel. He'll take you through all the steps from rank beginner on up.
If, on the other hand, you're already playing well and you just want to learn tunes and licks, take your pic. There a whole section of instructional material in here and you'll find any number of people in here that produce that sort of thing.
One thing I can assure you of. If you haven't got the basics down pat, buying song instruction will only frustrate your efforts.

| I guess everyone gets something different from these materials. at one half hour in length, I found Tommy's dvd a little short and wasnt able to get much from it. Can someone be really specific and tell me which parts of that dvd you found most useful? I'll go back and give it another try. |

Ben,
While we never stop learning, and I have yet to scratch the surface(!!!), I suppose I'm past the stage where I want someone to 'show me how to play a specific lick'. For me, the learning process includes figuring stuff out for myself.
Tommy's tape, while there is some 'lick analysis' on it, gives an insight into how he thinks, especially with the wonderful 'stream of consciousness' playing he does on the intro and outro. For me, that was where its value lay, and it, along with the invaluable help I got from touring with Jimmie Crawford many years ago, opened my eyes to the real potential of the E9 tuning.

Tom,
I found Steve Palousek's videos to be very helpful. He is very thorough and there is a good combination of theory and applied material (songs). He has courses from beginning to advanced on both E9 and C6. Good luck! |
