LESSON SERIES: Beginning Lap Steel Guitar - Lesson Pack 2

Online Lap Steel Guitar Music Lessons with Maurice

Reece continues this series of lessons by teaching students about finger and string groupings and how, when played correctly, they will produce chords.

More advanced players may have started the series of lessons at this juncture, but Reece is quick to remind anyone attempting this module that they need to be completely confident and aware of fret and string positions before continuing, otherwise more practice is needed and should be undertaken at your own pace.

Here, Reece will demonstrate how different fret positions affect the pitch and tone of each note and advise you to practise changing between frets so you can familiarize yourself with how they should sound.

Another thing which Reece will discuss and suggest that you need to have learned, is the numbered position of the frets so you can easily locate them, from memory, when needed.

As students at this level are becoming more comfortable with their lap steel guitars, Reece will start to introduce more chords. He will guide you step-by-step through positioning your fingerpicks on the strings, where the chords are positioned on the frets and show you how to use your slide to correctly play them.

You will begin to learn about scales and how to slide correctly between the numbered frets in order to play them correctly and as always you will be encouraged to practice at your own convenience so you can fully appreciate and hone your skills.

Up until this point, students have been taught to use the slide, or steel, one way, moving upwards along the guitar to change the pitch and tone of the note or chord being played. In this tutorial, Reece will teach how to play the lap steel by sliding the slide in the opposite direction, moving down the guitar.
