Posted 6 May 2017 4:33 am I use Rick's courses |
|
I have a number of Rick's courses and find them useful for beginning and intermediate players in particular. Many deal with one tune and other with subjects such as "Getting C6th on E9 tuning" etc. They include both tab and Rick talking you through the material. I usually spend at least several sessions on each lesson.
Check the explanation of what is in each course for those listed on EBay to get an idea what each involves. Buy a couple and see for yourself. Also, for $12 a lesson they won't break the bank.
For his "E-Z C6th" course he has wriitten this for the contents:
"More E-Z C6th"...the essential "part two" to our very successful "C6th Made E-Z" course. This course includes diagrams and demonstrations of the major C6th chord "groups", in the "open" position as well as how each of the floor pedals and knee levers affect the tuning. Also covers various "harmonic" scales as well as "raking" and "arpeggio" techniques. Then on to useful turnarounds and phrases. Some big and colorful chord sounds that will help you to cover the jazzier and swingin' tunes you may care to learn and play. Will get you up and running on that "back neck"...not hard..just a different approach! Includes full tablature and CD(approx. 80 min. run time)."
He has this instrumental course in E 9th of Sleepwalk and Nighlife:
"Two "iconic" tunes for pedal steel guitar in one set. "Sleepwalk", originally cut on lapsteel in the '50's, is faithfully adapted for E9 pedal steel. Same alluring, haunting melody..with pedal moves to boot. And, "Nightlife", usually heard on the C6th tuning really comes to life on E9th..all the nice passing chords and more. Includes demo track and "play-along-track" plus a talk and tips audio section to explain key techniques, etc. And, of course, full easy to follow tablature for each tune. Recovered from some "lost files" I'm pleased to have them again to make available to you. Teaching by Rick Kornacker...from Stepping Stone Steel ! Thanks for looking."
I believe Rick has many others courses not listed on EBay, perhaps 40 or so. Steve t

| I bought a few and enjoyed and learned from them. However, I always wished they would have had some tracks with, them. |

Just noticed and read through this "thread". Nice to hear from everyone, many that I have met or gotten to know via the "Forum" over the years. Some of you know me thru my connection with Jeff Newman(my father-in-law for many years). He definitely inspired my playing and teaching in some unexpected ways. Ideas for my own courses were designed to "compliment" a lot of the basics that he instilled in many of us. Anyone that may have ???'s about my offerings can feel free to contact me via the "Forum" PM(or Ebay). Thanks again...hope all of you are well...and playin' gooooood! Respectfully submitted, RK
