Hi toucher

Well done on getting a Lap Steel.

I got an 8 string Lap Steel 2 weeks ago but due to illness I haven't done much with it yet.
Tuning it to C6 as most seem to do,the next thing I want to know is what chords are on what fret.
That was how I started my Pedal Steel playing and for me,it worked.

I have purchased 2 DVD sets by Cindy Cashdollar which are excellent,in the first one She shows
how to play Cold Cold Heart,problem is that the backing track is not included so,until
I get to write the backing for it,I won't get very far.

I find the most difficult thing to learn is how to pick the different string combinations
but with practise it will come.

Keep us informed on your progress,and any tips you find will be appreciated.
