| Look at the "Links" above and go to the "copedents" section. Lots of tuning options will be presented. Try Buddy Emmons E9th. |

Get some teaching material, Aaron.
It'll help a LOT, all across the board (so to speak)...
Learn basics like: right hand technique, grips & scales & practice those.
Bruce Bouton's video is a good one, & easy to find.
Winnie Winston's book, also.

Welcome, Aaron
Try Winnie Winston's, book. Get ahold of Mike Archer, Wm. Litaker, or several others here on the forum. I've had alot of help from some of the members here and you will too.
Dan
PS look under the 'teaching' tab

California is big state, but we have players all over it. If you tell is where you are, we can recommend you to somebody who is near you.

I recommend Mel Bay's Pedal Steel Method by Dewitt Scott - an oldie but a goodie - it is pretty sequential, starting off with easier, albeit timeworn, songs and then progressing logically - some other teaching materials you might get throw some flashier but trickier stuff at you right away - nice stuff to grow into, but you don't want to get fatally frustrated right off the bat
I also recommend the Right Hand Alpha video by Jeff Newman - I find that rh technique is a huge part of developing on psg (arguably the biggest part)
oh yeah, get yourself a Peterson Strobo flip and mounting bracket ... tuning becomes pretty much a non issue...
just my 2 cents... |

A very good introduction to the 10-string E9th. Click on John's video at the bottom of the page. http://www.steelguitar.com/beginners.html
