Book Review: It's What You Need
Summary: 4 Stars
Wanna play country licks on the 6-string lap steel? You have a problem. There are few basic works to begin with; Mel Bay's main title uses an E7th tuning and insists that you learn to sight-read music; Cindy Cashdollar's DVDs are expensive and are designed around the 8-string guitar; everything else focuses on Hawaiian music. Scott's book is for 6-string guitars, uses the country-friendly C6th tuning, and lays everything out in tabulature (in addition to regular music notation), so you can play without having to read music. Best of all, the songs are all country and folk oriented, and there are sections focused on country fills and runs. And the acommpanying CD lets you hear many of the songs and play along with a rhythm track. Get a copy, and start whinin'.
Summary of Mel Bay Basic C6th Nonpedal Lap Steel Method
Made famous by the legendary Jerry Byrd, the C6 tuning [CEGACE] for the non-pedal lap steel guitar has many advantages due to its versatility. The tuning is especially useful in playing two and three-string chord combinations and for easy single-string passages. Patience, dedication and many hours of practice are needed to perfect the "slant" bar positions, especially the reverse slants, but the end result is well worth the effort. This excellent text, written by Steel Guitar and Country Music Hall of Fame member DeWitt Scott, is written in standard notation and tablature.Instruments & Performers Books
