Welcome to Song of Islands and to the STEEL MOJO NEWS!
We'll be starting with an Audio Lesson, which includes a bevy of musical goodies found below on this page!
What you'll find in this lesson:
1) Audio Lesson - Click to stream, or Right Click to Save to your computer, the name the file is "songofislandsAUDIO.mp3" (Click here for AUDIO LESSON)
The included Audio Lesson file is an mp3, available for download or live streaming through your web browser.
This new level of Steel Guitar Instructional Information goes into detail about how best to approach the chord chart found on this page, and also how to blend in with the backing track effectively in both lead and supporting roles.
2) Audio Transcript (COMING SOON!) Complete transcript of the Audio Lesson.
3) Mp3 Backing Track MP3 backing tracks built from the Band In A Box Software, featuring Real Tracks. Note: There's a VERY LONG click in!
4) Chord Chart The complete chord chart as a PDF, which is previewed at the bottom of this page.
Notes: This is the first in a series of lessons designed to help you understand your 6- or 8-string non-pedal steel guitar in a way that you never thought was possible.
These lessons also serve to further explore the steel guitar arrangements that are found in the lesson set entitled LIL STEEL V.1 Songbook, and will serve as a resource and supplement to those materials.
Enjoy the lesson. And please leave your comments at the bottom of the page. I'll review and post all relevant, insightful, humorous and motivational input right here on the page. So get involved!
