I'd like to do a little woodshedding on my right hand (I'm a dedicated palm blocker). Not interested in speed per se, more interested in accuracy and control.
Wondering if anyone knows of a book of advanced exercises that's really worthwhile (i.e. better than just making up your own).

Best,
David

Weldon, Connie. This break at 0:50 is a great right hand exercise https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B2uw1dEmrXQ
Or this 4 string, 1 pedal riff at 1:18 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrgzbEViLOo

Howdy, Lane. Thanks for the YouTubes. I enjoyed 'em both.

I know most everyone will recognize that it was The Big E on the Mel Tillis tune. Years ago, I frequently would throw that Emmons riff in for fills - I fear the audience got tired of it long before I did. Rolling Eyes There were a few (and I do mean a few) other riffs that I was able learn from Emmons' recordings that I'd use, too.

Keep on pickin'!
Glenn

Where have I heard that before...is that lick in the "Pedal Steel - A Manual of Style" book?

I don't think I have Manual of Style.
A VERY similar exercise is in the Winston-Keith book

I have both books, so I probably heard it from the Winston-Keith book. The one I recall is very similar but has a "run-up" scale ending tagged on it.

The break at 0:50 is very similar to the tune/exercise "Green Country" in Anthology of Pedal Steel Guitar (by DeWitt Scott). Page 25 Smile
