I have a young fellow living a few doors down from me who wants to learn steel guitar but he does not want all the technical stuff that goes with learning to play a guitar. I know of no other way to teach anyone one than to start from the basics and working up. All he wants to do he says is to play chords in the background without having to go to a teacher. Is there anything in book form on the market that has chord charts for songs for a steel guitar? Personally, I have never heard of such a thing.

This kid is learning on his dad’s old homemade S8 steel in C6. (it actually sounds terrible)

Set him up with an open tuning, like E7, and show him where the I, IV, and V chords are.
He can now "chord along" with most every blues tune known to man.

Hello Les. Maybe the E7th chord is not as pleasant a strumable sound as just a major chord is (without the 7th. My suggestion would be A Major, or as second choice E Major. Geo
