We knew what we wanted to emphasize in such an endeavor but it did not really begin to come together until we found just the right singer. Bobby Estes worked with Billy in a group for many years in the eighties.

Many players assume that learning pedal steel guitar is about learning a lot of licks or chords. That might be good if you knew how they all got used in a song, or any song. Great steel players could fold up all the knee levers and play any lick, phrase or melody using only the A&B pedals. Could you do it? If not, that may be why you get a little frustrated with the E9th tuning. You may not know the fundamentals well enough. This course uses just the A&B pedals and nothing more. It gives you the right foundation for understanding how the E9th tuning came about to start with. Learning the basics of what the A&B pedals do is a must. This course gives you some great phrases and licks, and how to use them as fills with a singer along with a band. You will learn the difference between a major chord phrase and a seventh chord phrase. You learn that there is a time to play and a time to get out. The video has each phrase done in slow motion, a note at a time, with Jeff explaining why each note is there, and from every point of view you would want to see. Comes with 2 two hour DVD, CD of all the rhythm tracks with which to practice and a book with everything tabbed out that is played on the DVD. #UFT-AB. $99.00 UP FROM THE TOP-THE D LEVER.

This lever makes great melody lines, fills, intros, turnarounds and chords. This course will show you how to play it as the pros do. You will learn to play all sorts of phrases as fills to some great old Ray Price tunes in the Jimmy Day/Emmons styles. The CD has tracks with which to practice including ‘Don’t You Ever Get Tired of Hurting Me’ and ‘Another Bridge to Burn’. Large print tablature book and DVD. #JN-UPD. $75.00. UP FROM THE TOP-THE F LEVER. A four hour, two video course with a 54 page book of tablature and CD of rhythm tracks. The ‘F’ lever is probably the least understood lever, but it cannot be ignored since it is extensively used by almost every player you hear on television, on the road and in the studio. The ‘F’ lever raises the 4th and 8th string E to F. This move gives you all sorts of scales, licks, phrases, and chord progressions that you just would not want to do without. It is responsible for much of the sound of pedal steel today. This version of UP FROM THE TOP is four hours long and the amount of information offered about the ‘F’ lever is limitless. When you use the ‘F’ lever along with the ‘D’ lever and the ‘AB’ pedals you will finally see and understand where most of those great licks you hear on recordings are coming from. These video courses have clear pictures and a 3-way split screen so that you can see the neck of the guitar, the pedals and the knee levers all at one time and up close. #JN-UPF. $99.00.

Part one deals with 3,4,5 and 6 chord progressions that you have to play any time you play C6th blues or swing things. #C6-S1. $75.00 C6TH & SWINGING PART TWO. This is the follow up to part one. Jeff takes songs like ‘San Antonio Rose’ and ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’ and dissects them into chord progressions. Jeff shows you how to play seven intros on the C6th for ‘San Antonio Rose’, how to play through the chord progressions, a nice swing instrumental for it, and then four swing endings you can put on any tune. Also, if you have ever been weak on the number system for chords, this will help you. Jeff goes into detail about the number system for the C6th and how important it is to learn to think and play by it. This course has a two hour DVD, audio CD and tablature book. #C6-S2. $75.00 Billy Cooper’s Music, Inc. 20504 Constitution Highway, Orange, VA 22960 - 17 - www.billycoopersmusic.com 540-854-5940 Jeff Newman Video Instruction on DVD CHORD CONNECTION PARTS 1 & 2.

This unit is one of the Peavey family of brands. When our rep brought it by for Billy to try, an amazing thing happened!

Description: The Budda Samsara Delay guitar effects pedal conjures up the warm, rich analog delay sounds of bygone days. The tone control allows you to mimic the low-fi sound of an old analog delay or to crisp up the highs a bit for more modern-sounding delay tones.

And the truebypass circuitry gives you a clean, unaffected signal when not in use. Housed in a heavy-duty steel case built to last. The unit comes with a 9 volt battery. However, the Samsara’s circuitry uses a great deal of power so it is highly recommended that you use a power supply with this pedal. See below.
