Description

Learn To Play C6 Lap Steel Guitar - DVD1 For Absolute Beginners. This DVD will teach you all the basics of playing the C6 Lap Steel Guitar. Running time is 2hrs 38min, and the lessons will take you from the basics of tuning, left- and right-hand technique, chords, scales, sliding, behind-the-bar bends, and a variety of licks, tricks and techniques, up through playing your first few songs.

This is THE ONE DVD you should start with (and stay with) for a good, long time!!
I, like others, have seen Joe play & explain/play "Sleep Walk" on YouTube...the clear verbal instruction, camera angle & super-imposed notation made me think that playing lap steel would be, for me, possible? I am an old bass player, fretted & fretless J's & P's...the strange thing on my lap got a few fruitless attempts, then a lot of neglect...I decided to make it a goal for '15 and chose this as my 'guide'. Got it last week, watched it all the way through, just enjoying how clearly & thoughtfully the student is led through steps to success: Tuning, hand positions, slide techniques, (The DREADED) theory, exercises & some nice tunes & improvs. Camera angle is like sitting on his shoulders & even screen-in-screen when something intricate is going on with finger work...this is a GREAT series of lessons! Add to this the amazing buncha extras: play-along tracks & an ebook; 139 .pdf pages of reference, additional info (Wanna know which PEDALS to use with Lap Steel?), and lessons to refer to...load this into your iPad & drill anywhere you want! Again, one great resource for the beginner to intermediate player! I have to spend some time training my big ol' meathooks, but this thing is getting me there! Mahalo nui loa, Joe! ... show more

This is for absolute beginners.
I found the material presented in a logical and straightforward way. It is presented as if you know nothing about steel guitar or music or chords etc. Starts out with tuning the instrument, then on to some basic music theory. It would appear that steel guitar requires a little more understanding of music theory than say regular guitar or ukulele. I like the "TAB" and music score superimposed above the instruction. It really helps me follow along and keep pace with the instruction. Learning to play the lap steel is going to be a real challenge. There is so much going on at the same time. I like this DVD a lot and feel it will teach me to actually play steel guitar. ... show more

I nearly fell out of my chair because he makes it so easy to understand
I have had a lap steel sitting gathering dust for the past 3 years, because I just couldn't get started. I tried learning from two different CD's that were offered, but found them too confusing to continue, therefore the dust gathering began. By chance I happened to come across Joe playing on You Tube teaching notation and tabs for Santo and Johnny's "Sleep Walk". I nearly fell out of my chair because he makes it so easy to understand, and it seemed as though I could finally put my desire to play in motion. I was right! Joe carefully goes through the process a non performing musician, (like me), can understand and practice with. I hope to post my own You Tube video soon in tribute to Joe who encouraged me to dust that instrument! ... show more

A very good DVD to get you playing in very little time...
I am a somewhat experienced guitar and bass guitar player, but C6 lapsteel is completely new to me. So far I have found this DVD and the accompanying guide very useful. I'm on the tenth lesson, have learned quite a bit and can now play some. For me, the pace seems just about perfect. I might give it five stars, but the menu system is a tad clunky, and seems to be more for MS-Windows, and I'm using a MacBook. But it certainly plays, and I can move around when really needed. ... show more

Play the disc several times to obtain more information.
I am an absolute beginner and I have waited late in life to learn to play a lap steel guitar. No other guitar experience. The main thing I need to is practice, practice, practice and practice some more. The disc and E book is very helpful for me and I'm sure it will be helpful for others.

Best DVD-outstanding customer service
This is the best tutorial of any kind I have seen for lap steel guitar. I have played guitar and other stringed instruments for over 50 years, but am new to lap steel. I had a question about accessing the e-book that was included with the DVD and I e-mailed Joe who responded almost immediately to address my question. I will certainly purchase the 2nd DVD after getting through all the material in the first. ... show more
