In the past, I’ve taught lessons via cassettes, CDs, DVDs, private lessons and clinics. While those are all good ways to share knowledge, they do not make it practical to follow up with students to make sure that I have covered the lesson material in a clear and concise manner and that the student has learned it completely.
I now believe that internet video technology has advanced to the point that offering a streaming online course is the best way to teach as much content as possible. Organizing the lessons into a method allows students to learn at their own pace, ask questions, and even help create new content.
Designed for all players at all levels - from beginners to working pros, The Paul Franklin Method is a university-style course drawing on my 50+ years of playing pedal steel, and is designed to teach you everything you’ll need to know to be the best you can be. We’ll launch with 90 streaming high definition, multi-camera videos and add to that content on a regular basis. There are also jam tracks, PDF transcriptions and TABs.
This course will be a living, breathing, and ongoing resource and I will be updating the contents regularly based on student requests for more examples or exercises, and any new insights I might have from my studio and live gigs. I look forward to working with you to make the course the best it can be.
My partners and I are putting the finishing touches on The Paul Franklin Method and plan to open enrollment very soon. In the meantime, we'd like to share a preview of the course. Just click on the link below to watch some clips and get more info.
Thanks so much for your interest! - Paul
The Paul Franklin Method COMING SOON!

Paul, what on earth has changed in your life where you have the time to tackle such an ambitous, and wonderful, project like this? Don't sessions, and the Time Jumpers keep keep you busy beyond belief?
Looking forward to the details, and I thought there was great value in the demo video I received a link for.
Please make sure your camera work shows clearly your right hand at work view from the keyhead direction. One of my dream projects was to somehow do video closeups of Buddy Emmons' right hand, and even in slo-mo, to enable macro study of his great style. Sadly, never happened. So it's up to you, Paul! _________________ E9 INSTRUCTION

This will be a great asset to all of us in keeping the instrument alive for the next generation of players. Having a great player become a great teacher to the masses, (as Jeff was), is just wonderful. Thank you Paul Franklin. And yes, I am signing up! _________________ Bruce W Heffner AKA Wally

Very good news for overseas players. This has been a long way of the cross for all players who have learned the pick blockin by doing slowdowns on youtube videos.

I was never elected to be one of his students, although I tried, but I think John McClung was the pioneer in this type of lessons. I got all his info right before he had his medical condition, so never got to be enrolled, but it sounds so much like his course. I wish Paul the very best and will take the course. I would have taken John's too, but it didn't come to. I wish him and John both the best, and will be on the list. _________________ Zum U-12, Carter SDU-12, Zum Encore, Emmons S-10, Emmons D-10, Nashville 400, Two Peavey Nashville 112, Boss Katana 100, Ibanez DD700, Almost every Lesson Jeff Newman sold.

Paul, your course is just what I need. To learn anything from the greatest living steel player would be absolutely fantastic. Plus, as intelligent as Paul is I am sure his camera angles will be right on point to reflect how he does what he does. I believe Paul's course will be the most innovative course on the market. _________________ GFI Ultra SD-10; Nashville 112; Hilton pedal, George L Cables; Pearse bar; Live Stings;Walker seat by Billy Knowles. |
