Hey all!
I just moved down to Durham, North Carolina. I'm looking to take some pedal steel lessons and was wondering if anybody knew anybody in the area. I'm willing to drive 2-3 hours or so every few weeks for a lesson.
Best,
James |

Greg Reading - steel player for Chatham County Line, and Nathan Golub with 2 Dollar Pistols and John Howie are both triangle based.
I think they are both here on the forum. Don’t know if they teach, but might be a good starting point. |

Also reach out to forum member Clyde Mattocks, a really fine long time experienced player , highly skilled, and I will add, a good guy. Even though we have not actually seen each other in a whole bunch of years  Clyde's in your area.

I reached out to Clyde a number of years ago about lessons. He told me he wasn’t teaching anymore, although that might have changed. |

Hi, Doug Palmer is in Greensboro, not sure if he's still giving lessons but a great option if so.

Because my original post on this thread is nearly 3 years old, today's update is that I'm no longer teaching steel guitar. I continue to play pedal steel, lapsteel & dobro but realized the internet now offers a lot of quality instructional material for beginner/intermediate-level steelers, something that wasn't true several years ago. Also, there are some really great instructors who give lessons online (John McClung, Fred Sokolow & Joe Wilson, to name just a few).
PM reply sent to Pierce. |
