Doug is now a regular on the many steel concerts held in the Northeast. Doug subsequently began writing about the steel and publishing courses. He became a regular writer for the Pedal Steel Guitar Association's newsletter, was a columnist in Steel Guitarist magazine until its publication ended, wrote for Country Music Record magazine, and has been a columnist for Steel Guitar World magazine since its beginnings. Doug makes everything so simple that you wonder why you ever had a problem finding and applying chords on your steel. He is right there with you, guiding you through the neat and easily understood material in the booklet.
Every key has a group of chords common to it.
If you reduce those to simple arithmetic, it's easy. There are only 12 notes and only 8 notes comprising octaves. Nothing, when Doug is explaining and demonstrating it on the steel. He takes up where the previous course left off, providing 6ths, 7ths, 9ths, augmented, and diminished chords, bringing them to life on his steel. All these chords are right there on your E9th neck and Doug has tabbed out their locations and plays them along with you.
