THE DENVER STEEL GUITAR SHOW
This year’s Denver Steel Guitar Show is dedicated to the eminent Rusty Young. Rusty has inspired people all over the world with his music and steel guitar. In honor of Rusty we have created “The Rusty Young Inspiration Award”. This prestigious award will be presented to a well deserving Denver steel guitarist during the show.
INTROS, FILLS, AND THE OLD SWITCHEROO
Chuck Lettes' Pedal Steel Guitar Seminar
I’ve divided my two hour E9th seminar into three parts:
Part 1: Intros/turnarounds
Every steel player should have a few intros available to kick off different tunes. They can also do double duty as turnarounds. I’ll demonstrate some of my favorites.
Part 2: Sears and Roebuck (Generic) fills and licks.
Like the section on intros, these fills/licks work with many different tunes and can spark your own creativity. I also will illustrate some open string effects that I enjoy.
Part 3: The Old Switcheroo-E9th to C6th
Creating C6th sounds on E9th is easier than lugging around the second neck. I’ll demonstrate some ways to create these sounds.
