Since you are probably going to have to teach yourself, You should have some instruction courses and books. I learned to play from Winnie Winston's "Pedal Steel Guitar" published by Oak Publications. There are many other fine books and courses available too.

Paul, do you have a fast internet connection? If so, ask around for those who are doing one-on-one instruction on Skype. Hopefully when they read this thread they will approach you about it.
I would gladly try it with you. The basics might work in some fashion.. I am not that knowledgeable and have never taught

Hi Paul,
Forum member Gene Brown lives in White Horse, also Bob Hamilton is somewhere in the Territory as well, I suggest that you do a member search and contact them directly to see if they can help you out.
Keep us posted on your progress! |
