    My mother has a pedal steel guitar and I've finally managed to get her to pull it out of storage and start playing again. I really enjoy these videos and I'm going to share them with her.

    Thank You !!! I sold my ldg .... Now I have to get another !!! I need these sounds !!!
  • Hi Aaron... after watching this lesson a light finally went on. I've been struggling with the various relationships of each of the pedals and how they can determine what minor or suspended chords can be fabricated. This is one of the greatest lessons I have watched since trying to get this 77 year old brain to be able to at least play somewhat on this very complex instrument. I can now find a relative minor with no issues or a sus chord when required. Thanks again and keep up the good work.. looking forward to the beginners course when it becomes available.
  • Very good job. You are really helping a lot of beginner psg players get a better understanding of the instrument. Best teaching I’ve seen yet. RF/

    Excellent lesson . As a fairly new beginner this helps explain the chord theory which is where I lack, thanks for posting it.
  • What a great lesson. As a dobro playing, lap steel sliding, mandolin picker envious of you pedal steel guitar players. I thank you. I'm too old to get good but i'm young enough to get adequate thanks to folks like you. \

    You know Aaron, I know this is an older video, but I'm just starting out learning the pedal steel. I have a Carter D-10 with a E9 and C6 neck. Just wanted to say that this video was such a help in learning where the certain chords are located and which pedals make them what they are. I'm loving all of your videos and about to delve into the one that deals with knee levers next. Thank you for taking the time to create this forum, because I can tell you, it really helps. And, of course I've already subscribed a while ago. Thanks again, my friend. Wish you were closer so I could take real time lessons from you, but this will do nicely.
  • Wow. Very clear helpful introduction to an intimidating instrument! Thanks!!

    I recently bought a GFI student model and am starting from scratch and your style of teaching is EXACTLY what I need. It is bite sized and achievable. I owned a double 10 about 15 years ago and after a few years got rid of it because non of it really made sense. With your lessons I'm starting to understand what happens and why it happens. I have new hope :) Thank you.
