Hi all,
Took the dive into learning all the different picking permutations on steel. Taking this super slow to make sure I build good picking habits. Limiting my daily practice 6 permutations seems to be the sweet sport for where I'm at in my learning journey. Let me know what you think and consider subscribing to my channel!

Nice video! So...when was the last time you played that custom "Lefty Steel" made in Missouri?  I'd rather play the LDG too...

John,
Thanks for your comment and support! I last played my "Lefty Steel" a few weeks ago. After playing it, I'm really glad to have the LDG. The Lefty Steel can't muster the same tone, tuning stability, or general ease of use that the LDG can. That said, I'm really glad to still have it around because I may break it down to really understand how the instrument functions and learn how to fix a steel myself.

| I’m working on exactly the same thing right now. I was trying to get through all 24 each day but maybe less is more |

I think less is definitely more early on. I’m glad to hear someone else is learning this with me!

| Paul’s perms are the first thing I do when I set down to practice! I go through 4 a day, which gets me through all 24 once a week |

Awesome, Doug! That’s a great way to cover them all regularly and keep your picking hand ready. I follow a similar schedule now that I know them.

Hi Bryce! The full list of perms (tabbed out) is on Paul Franklin’s Applications course. It might also be published for free somewhere else online, but the course purchase is a no-brainer for any serious steel player. Hope that helps!

Many thanks
I'm happy to pay for his instruction. I didn't know what course to look at. I've worked on several already, including the Bakersfield, which I really enjoy.

No problem, glad I could help! I have really enjoyed the instruction from the PF/MMM courses thus far. Let me know if you like it when the time comes.

I totally agree. The Paul Franklin course is a no brainer if you're serious about learning. If anyone is interested, here is a link to the course:

I wish all the beginners could have access to it or have knowledge of it as soon as they learn of the instrument, Mark!

| I wish they could too Christo. I see what it has done for you and Tracer James and Boo Miller. Boo just landed a job playing for Gene Watson. I sure wish this course was around when I first started. I have seen so many guys like you progress so fast taking that course. |
