Outstanding!Sep 04, 2010
I purchased a used Fender student model S-10 about 25 years ago and learned to play a few chords but that's all. If this video had been available at the time, I would have made much better progress on the pedal steel guitar. Rob Haines does a superb job of explaining everything a beginner needs to know about the pedal steel and shows how simple it is to get that classic sound heard on so many country tunes. The video shots are excellent; showing both hands (you can even see the strings being picked) with an inset showing what his feet are doing as well. This guy is a great teacher who makes you feel like you really can play like a pro. All it takes is practice, practice, practice. This video was worth every penny and there is enough material here to keep me learning for many months.

Anyone Can Play E9 Pedal Steel GuitarMar 12, 2010
This is an excellent DVD course. It starts at the very beginning but the information is all rock solid and the instructor shows how but leaves it to you to go ahead and take what he has taught. I am only part way through it now but it is all very helpful. I am a musician but have no background in steel guitar and this video is the catlayst that has got me started and to the point where music is coming out. I wish that there were one on the C6 neck like this too.

Best of the DVD's for Pedal SteelJan 08, 2010
I've played other stringed instruments for about 40 years and just started pedal steel. I own both this DVD (Anyone can play E9) and the Bruce Bouton DVD (Learn to play pedal steel guitar). Anyone can play E9 pedal steel by Rob Haines is excellent. It does cover all of the basic details a true beginner will need, such as how to wear finger picks, how to hold the bar and tuning your guitar. He also makes some useful suggestions on which equipment to use. The lesson itself covers basic scales, harmony scales, pedals, knee levers and a multitude of useful licks. The biggest difference between this DVD and Bruce Bouton's, is that this one uses a split screen to clearly show what your hands need to do and what your feet need to do. The other DVD does not use split screens and can be a little confusing for someone who hasn't played any other stringed instruments. But if you're a true beginner and need to choose only one, get Anyone can play E9 pedal steel. It goes into greater detail on the basics. The pedal exercises and scale drills are excellent and Haines shows you how to combine them to sound like a song.

Great value for the moneyJul 15, 2009
I just started playing PSG and this is the best of several DVDs that I have seen. Very clear, good camera work, good diagrams and the instructor makes it look very easy because he explains it so well. This is truley a beginners DVD but a very well done production.
