Hello. right now i have been playing electric and acoustic guitar for 6 years. I currently became very interested in learning the pedal steel guitar. I will be teaching myself so is it really hard to learn? Are there a lot of songs online that could give me tabs? Basically im asking if it is worthwhile to spend a lot of money. I dont want it if there are only 3 songs im gona learn. im up for the challenge im just curious how hard it was to learn. thanks for your help.
12 string guitars have harmonies. Theres the original six sounds, but the extra harmonies. 12 string guitars are slightly harder to play and not good for beginers
The okorder /... Beware of eBay deals unless you know what you're buying. To start, you should get a 10-string single neck with 3 pedals and 4 levers. Some of the student models don't have as many levers and aren't capable of all the changes you need. Stay away from the ShoBud Maverick...you'll outgrow it in a couple of months. Often it makes more sense to buy a used professional model...you'll eventually need one, and they hold their value better than a student model. You'll also need a volume pedal, bar, thumb and finger picks. For now, your guitar amp will be ok. Playing the guitar: There are several tunings and lots of different combinations of levers, but the basic guitar is a 10 string E9 tuning. It's almost an open E but with a few extra notes. The pedals and levers raise and lower the pitch of selected strings. Chord changes are made by moving the bar and pressing pedals and levers. The volume pedal helps you swell and sustain notes. Steel has it's own unique tablature which reflects all these changes. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me or just join the PSG forum and ask there.
