Online Lessons:

Keith has been playing Pedal Steel Guitar for 30 years; he studied pedal steel at Jeffran College in Nashville, Tenn. and also in Phoenix, Arizona where he attended a Masters class at Jeffran Collage. He has attended Scotty’s Steel Guitar Convention in ST Louis. Mo. where there were over 70 professional steel players performing and sharing ideas. Keith has attended many seminars of players with different playing styles such as Joe Wright, Jeff Newman, Doug Jernigan, Buddy Emmons, Harold Leach, and Jeff Bradshaw. He has performed many hours on the bandstand backing up singers and playing classic country music, and has been teaching private lessons in Sask. and Alberta for the last few years. Pedal Steel guitar is a unique and beautiful sounding instrument and will bring lifelong pleasure to anyone who plays it. Keith loves to share what he knows with others so he can keep this instrument and style of playing alive and well. For entry-level players, the focus will be on basic techniques to get them started with good playing habits. They will also be playing some real licks and actual music right from the start so their experience with the pedal steel is interesting and fun. Intermediate players will learn how to improvise and play in different keys and styles, so they can sit in with anyone and be able to play with any song without having it memorized. At this point you will start to hear your own style develop.
