    Man, your lessons are great! Been playing six string for a long time...I’m almost 50...and trying to learn pedal steel in Spain is extremely difficult as there are no teachers or many fans of this instrument, so your vídeos are much appreciated. Many thanks!!👍👍👍

    HI Arron, I have been following your lessons for quite some time, now, and I really appreciate the way you bring PSG instruction to us in such a clear and definitive way. Please keep it up. Also, since you have so many lessons posted on UA-cam, could you please provide a chart or catalog of some sort that would enable us to find/go back to previous lessons? Sometimes when practicing I recall a lick or something you taught us and want to review it, but finding it again on UA-cam can be tricky and time consuming...perhaps you already have this. Lastly, I would be willing to pay for a collection of lessons on a DVD, and I bet many of your followers would, too.Don

    • @SteelPicking
      @SteelPicking  6 років тому

      Don, thanks so much for your kind comments. Your idea is really interesting and valid. I will talk to Jacob and see what we can do. I really am glad we are helping promote the PSG and people see the hard work Jacob is doing to make the videos top notch.
      Thanks again!

      @@SteelPickingr. Aaron, I noticed you are playing a Pedalmaster in this video. I was honored to meet Mr. Roy Thomas the maker. I own a Westwind D10/8 which is the brand he made before he bought the pedalmaster brand. Your lessons are really helping me.

      Hey, @@johnweaver3610 I borrowed this guitar while mine was being modified. My dad had a universal 12-string Pedalmaster, and we got to go to Louisiana and meet Mr. Thomas. The Pedalmaster was great sounding and mechanically superb. Glad you got one and hang on to it! Hope you enjoy it as much as my dad enjoyed his! Keep picking!

    • @SteelPicking
      @SteelPicking  6 років тому +1

      You are welcome! You can probably find a good, used steel on the Steel Guitar Forum or sometimes through specific dealers like Justice, etc. At times they sell second hand guitars on their sites. Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for checking out my channel!
