Ok..... Here goes. I have been ask to set up my steel and play on Sunday morning services with the praise and worship group. This only after playing and learning how to play for a "Year". I will not at this time take any rides, I plan on doing just pads and phrases. Maybe some turn-arounds and endings,[if I can find some. intros also". My big problem right now is I am not up that much on Chords and where to grab them. Using just the neck of the guitar I am ok, but how to get the same chord by using the pedals and levers I still need some help. My timeing is good due to the fact that I played drums proff. even tho there are drummers out there that tend to "speed or slow". I wasn't one of them. My ear is still pretty good at 74......... So I guess what I am asking guys ........... Is advice and can you recomend a good book,dvd,tabs on chords like a chord dictonary. Also fills, turn-arounds,intros., and endings. I know this is alot to ask, and I may be biteing off more then I can chew. But I've got to start sometime  Thank guys

If you're playing E9 get Buddy Emmon's chord dictionary. I DON'T play E9 but refer to it to find notes for chords in my B6 copedent because it's so clearly put together.

| jack..a lot of what you can play in this situation is very basic and simple..that doesn't make it bad..on the other hand , it can be very appropriate. some three note chords can sound beautiful at the proper time! |

Jack, I've been playing steel for quite some time but I'm new to the forum. I've been driving 70 miles south to Fargo to play with a worship team one Sunday a month. The thing to remember is you're there to lead and facilitate worship and not to entertain. So just playing two and three note chords will work perfectly. I find playing with the worship team the highlight of the month and I'm always looking forward to the next time we worship together.

Thanks again everyone. Most of the e-mail I have recieved says ........... to use the KISS system [keep it simple stupid]. Which I will do. Like alot of you have said, I can do alot with good two and three note chords and make it sound pretty. My main objective is to praise the Lord with my 10 string instrument. Bless Ya Jack<><
