| Can I get a recommendation on what you guys think is the best course materials out there for single note E9 playing? I'm not necessarily looking for something that teaches right hand technique... I want something that deals more with what to play. |

David you should probably have a look at Paul Franklin's speed pickin solo series, some very good stuff there.

As paddy said, also i found great use for the licks and runs of Herby wallace, it has all those lovely traditional runs that we hear on albums, does not require loads of knee's and pedals, wow, what that man can do with just an A pedal, more than i can do with 20 pedals, it's all down to the basics of music, not mechanics.

I have spent a small fortune on learning materials, and after the Winston book, the one that I got the most usable info from was this:
http://texasmusicsupply.com/60-hot-licks-for-pedal-steel-guitar.html
You have to go beyond just learning the licks though. I learned them in every key and I learned what each note of the lick was in relation to the chord they were played over. With that info you can create your own licks.

Sometimes what works best for you is determined by what type of learner you are.
There are three basic types of learning styles. The three most common are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
To learn, we depend on our senses to process the information around us. Most people tend to use one of their senses more than the others.
If you need to see it written out and see someone play it...then a DVD with TAB would be best.. but then you learn it song by song, lick by lick and don't really get to learn & understand the theory behind it.
IF you have a good ear and have a working knowledge of music theory then the Franklin series of lessons would be great.
I still go back to many of Paul's CD lessons and learn something new each time.
also Remember not all great players are great teachers. |

Thanks, everyone... It looks like there are a lot of good materials out there.
Audio is fine with me, I don't need to see someone playing it. I know enough music theory that I can usually make sense out of anything I learn. Learning a new lick, then figuring out how to play it many different ways and combining it with what I already is one of the most fun parts of playing to me. |

David,
All of my courses are tabbed out and also have a CD to listen how the particular lick is phrased and so on. My courses that contain songs, also have rhythm track CDs with real musicians. You can check out my web site for a list of some of my courses or I can mail you a complete list as I have done over 35 over the years. My web site is: www.herbywallace.com
Thanks,
Herby Wallace |
