  1. Time Is Tight
Free

I've been enjoying Booker T. Jones' autobiography, "Time Is Tight." Booker T. and the MGs were always a favorite group, so I decided to visit the title song on my pedal steel guitar. Hope you enjoy the arrangement,. and keep on groovin'.

INTROS, FILLS, AND THE OLD SWITCHEROO

Chuck Lettes' Pedal Steel Guitar Seminar

:instruments:pedal b&w.jpg

 

 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.

 

When - Saturday, Aug 28, 2021, 1 – 3 pm

Where - Dougie G’s Lounge
