Vintage Lap Steel Guitar Instruction for Blues & Rock 
                                                      Tab Book & CD        by J. Dow
 This book/CD is packed with techniques and solos for six string non pedal steel guitar in open G, and open A tunings. These tunings use simple double triads,and will enable you to express those fantastic blues & rock phrases you've heard in the easiest ways possible. All material in this study can be played in either,or both tunings because the intervals 1,3,5,1,3,5 are identical in both. This course is all blues & rock; and is presented to you in clear, easy to read tab,pictures, and diagrams.

 The tricks,licks,and tips you'll need to sound like a pro are all here! You will learn how to play octaves,slants, the steel bounce,and several great harmonic techniques. The musical ideas are all given to you in the context of songs you'll recognize,so you can truly absorb them. Each song is recorded with,and then without the steel solos; so you can play along with the band. Backing tracks: rhythm guitars,bass,and drums.

 Nine complete songs are included; each with steel guitar solos. From Eric Clapton, to Duane Allman's incredible style,the Rolling Stones to Little Feet are all transposed to non pedal six string steel guitar. All presented in the easy tab (Most of the examples in this course can be played on a dobro tuned to the standard open G dobro tuning.)

 You'll learn  Robert Johnson's "All My Love In Vain"; with sections of  the Rolling Stones version contrasted with the original. The slide guitar lines all transposed to steel guitar. Robert Johnson's powerhouse rocker "Stop Breakin' Down" is here. Again with the Stones interpretation played off the original ; but on non pedal steel. The incredible Fred McDowell's "You Got To Move"; but  played as Duane Allman would... on lap steel!!!
 The swampy,rockin' Lowell George slide guitar of "Triple Face Boogie"; transposed to non pedal steel guitar!
The Eric Clapton/ Duane Allman ragtime blues masterpiece "Nobody wants you when you're Down and Out", from the Derek and The Dominos sessions is included  with steel guitar chords,and full solo.The Rolling Stones "Honky Tonk Women"; with Keith's rockin' open G tuning parts all transfered to steel,with two complete David Lindley approach solos clearly written out in easy tab.
 The R & B side of rock is shown to you through the great old Stones tune "Wild Horses",with steel solos over the minor to major,to 7th chord progression. Many students,and pros have difficulty playing minor chords in the major tunings.This,and other songs in this study will show you how its done.This song/example will also teach you how to do a vocal arrangement on steel with two note chord like lines.The Stones tune "Under My Thumb" here becomes "Under My Steel"; with several more David Lindley style extended steel solos!
 The CD is approximately 75 minutes,and will play back on either your computer as an audio disc,or your DVD player as an audio disc,or on your standard CD player. Every note written out in the book is recorded on the CD so you'll know what it should sound like.( DVD's can be very inspiring,but it's much easier to learn complete solos when they are written out in easy tab).
 This course was designed for the intermediate level steel player,but even the beginner will immediately be able to utilize these clearly presented song/solos.This instruction method is in the form of complete songs;not just bits and pieces in riff format. You will develop faster learning complete solos within the context of the songs! 
 A series of steel guitar scales are presented, then given again in the complete song context with full solos so you can "absorb" the musical ideas. From that take of point you will be creating your own solos!
 Hearing the recordings on vintage lap steels will also help you determine if one of these vintage beauties is right for you. Lap steels used on this session: 1938 Rickenbacher model 59,and a 1947 National Dynamic.
