After listening to Billy’s ‘Gospel Steel Guitar’, I thought about the many
years of knowing Billy and Wanda Cooper. Billy is a true Christian
brother. His playing reflects his love for the Lord Jesus as well as the
steel guitar. Some of my favorites on this album are “Jesus Loves Me”,
“A Mighty Fortress”, “Going On Home” and “Lily of the Valley.” Great
playing, Billy, with superb tone! I know you will enjoy this CD as much
as I do. This is a must have for your gospel steel guitar collection!

‘Those Were The Days’ CD
Billy Cooper
Not only are there traditional steel guitar tunes on this, Billy’s sixth recording, but
there is a blending of sixties and seventies style of steel guitar with blues, pop and
even classical tunes. I think you will agree that the results are outstanding.
This album has a really haunting version of ‘Ghostriders In The Sky’, an excellent
rendition of the beautiful ‘Greensleeves’ and two semi-classical pieces, ‘Nature
Boy’ and ‘Carla’. You will also enjoy ‘A Way To Survive’, ‘The Same Two
Lips’, ‘Lily Dale’, ‘Mansion On The Hill’ and ‘I Really Don’t Want To Know’,
songs that showcase the pedal steel in such a traditional yet fresh new way. The last song, ‘Those
Were The Days’ is a surprising, upbeat and completely original arrangement of a very familiar tune.

‘Steel Together’ CD
Buddy Charleton & Billy Cooper
Buddy Charleton and Billy Cooper have teamed up and produced an
instrumental steel guitar recording that is sure to become a classic. This album
features the pedal steel as it was meant to be played. Buddy & Billy have chosen
an assortment of their favorite tunes. Their styles are very complementary
although each picker’s own uniqueness is exhibited. Buddy plays four selections
all the way through and Billy does the same on his four. There are two songs on
which they collaborate and execute some fine harmonizing. A really beautiful
and exceptional recording! As Buddy Emmons declares in his liner notes, “If
your formula for a pedal steel album reflects that of mine, you’re going to like
this album a whole lot.”

Pedal Steel Guitar Instruction by Billy Cooper
BACKING UP A SINGER~VOLUMES 1 & 2
This is a course that we have been planning for a long time. 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.
They were mutually complementary as singer and musician since Bobby
was partial to Billy’s steel guitar style and Billy loved Bobby’s
distinctive vocalization & phraseology.
Happily, after a lengthy period of separation, their renewed
acquaintance has resulted in the recording of a steel guitar
album which includes Bobby on vocals. This CD,
Memories of Steel, is the basis for the two ‘Backing Up A
Singer’ courses presented here. You may hear a few clips
from
this
album/course
on
our
website
www.billycoopersmusic.com
‘Backing Up A Singer~Popular Favorites~Volume 1’

detailed for you in 39 pages of straightforward, easy to understand tablature. Includes a standard E9th tuning
chart and a basic diagram showing you how to use the tablature. Songs presented are ‘I Love You Because’,
‘Statue of A Fool’, ‘Faded Love’, ‘Danny Boy’ and ‘Have I Told You Lately That I Love You’.
Completely tabbed songs are accompanied by a 15 track CD on which you will find for each song (1) every one
played and sung just as it is on the album (2) a rhythm track with vocals (3) steel track only. In addition, Billy
has assembled a full page of tips and pointers to keep in mind as you study the process of playing behind a
singer. We believe this will be very helpful. #BC-BUS1. $31.50

‘C6 Beginner Course’
Buddy Charleton
For those who desire to learn the C6th tuning, this is excellent
foundational teaching from Buddy Charleton and Billy Cooper. It will

who may not know exactly what they are playing or why. This course
will give a more in depth understanding of the theory behind the C6th
tuning.
The 22 page book offers tabbed exercises detailing chords that are most
commonly used in the C6th tuning. In addition, you will find photos
illustrating proper seating position as well as pedal, bar and right hand
techniques. Also included are basic instruction on the use of tablature, a
C6th tuning chart and a valuable chart of major scales. Lastly, Buddy
and Billy have tabbed two exercise songs that employ the chord
progressions presented in the course.
The 14 track CD begins by showing you how to tune your guitar. On
tracks 2 through 9 you will hear Buddy playing chords and then using
them with an accompanying rhythm. You then have the opportunity to
practice each chord following the same rhythm track. Buddy completes the CD by playing the two exercise
songs which are then followed by practice rhythm tracks. Suitable for beginner to intermediate players.

Jeff Newman Video Instruction on DVD
UP FROM THE TOP-A&B PEDALS. 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 two hour video course explains the use of the ‘D’ lever on E9th
tuning. The ‘D’ lever lowers the 4th and 8th strings, E to Eb and was the first knee lever to occur on the E9th
neck. 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.
C6TH WORKSHOP. This is for the beginner on the C6th neck. It will get you playing chords and single note
lines on the C6th neck in an easy to understand style. Uses the 5th and 6th pedal primarily to get you through
some great chord progressions heard frequently on swing tunes. Comes with two hour DVD, a book of tab and a
rhythm CD. Also shows how to tune your C6th neck and the pedals. #JN-C6W. $70.00
C6TH & SWINGING PART ONE. Two hour course on DVD which also includes a tablature book & audio
CD. This course is about getting serious with the C6th tuning and learning to play some legitimate blues &
swing scales & chord progressions. This course takes up where ‘C6th Workshop’ left off. 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

Hilton Electronics continued
Hilton ME262-B Infrared Volume Pedal. Standard height
pedal.
Tired of pot noise? With the ME262-B there is no noise, just
smooth, clean, quality sound. This pedal has no pot and it is not a
light beam pedal. This is new technology that works similar to an
infrared bar code scanner on a cash register. There is even an
advance pre-amp incorporated into the electronics. A 12 volt
adaptor is furnished with the unit. The housing is grade ‘A’ cast
aircraft aluminum. One input, two outputs. The outputs are ‘Y’
split mono outputs. There is NO signal loss when using two
outputs. The pedal has 3/8” lower profile than most in the
industry although there is an even lower profile pedal available.
See below. #KH-ME262B. $289.00
Hilton L-ME262-B Infrared Volume Pedal. Low profile pedal.
If pedal height is important to you the new L-ME262-B pedal may be for you. If you are already using a low
profile pedal this one will give you the exact height and movement as other models on the market. In addition,
you will have that famous Hilton tone. #KH-LME262B. $289.00
IMPORTANT: Hilton pedals have digital sustain and impedance matching built in. Separate digital sustain
units are helpful for pot pedals only! Also, overseas adaptors are available for Hilton pedals.
Keith Hilton’s Digital Sustain. As the name implies, this unit digitally sustains the
signal from your guitar pickup. It allows the windings of your pickup to reach a
dynamic range never before thought possible. Frequency response is increased to
dynamic levels throughout the entire spectrum. Bandwidth performance is enhanced
and widened to extended levels. It provides the edge you need to cut through with
quality sound. As it cleans up your sound, the high, low and midrange dynamics are
enhanced. Single notes sound fuller, bigger and better. As you play chords you can
better hear individual note separation. The single control knob allows you to dial in
the ‘sweet spot’ your guitar is capable of. Can be operated from either battery or 12
volt wall adaptor which is furnished with unit. #KH-DS $149.00
Hilton Hil-Tone. This product is similar to the very popular Boss Tone of years gone
by which gave the pedal steel guitar the ability to mimic string effects. Similarly, this
unit gives the pedal steel a multitude of effects such as fiddle and orchestral strings.
Different strings of the instrument in combination with octaves and a lot of reverb can
even provide the spacious effect of a string section. Very cool! It can also be used to
simulate rock guitar sounds. An excellent effect to have on hand that will be sure to
impress those who hear it. Plugs directly into guitar. #KH-HT. $99.00.
Hilton Pedal Bar Mounts. Hilton offers two pedalbar mounts. One style fits the
Emmons and Derby guitars. The other type is universal and fits all other guitars. The
universal pedalbar mount fits over the top of the pedal bar. See photos of each type on our website.

Budda Samsara Delay
We have finally found a terrific Delay unit that works
wonderfully for the pedal steel. This unit is one of the
Peavey family of brands. When our rep brought it by
for Billy to try, an amazing thing happened! He
hooked it up, struck a few chords on the steel,
noodled around a little and without ‘twisting any
knobs’, pronounced it “just right”! I think he made
history here!
Bottom line, we are stocking them and encourage
you to consider this unit if you are looking for a
Delay that will enhance the sound of your steel
guitar.
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. Whether you want a touch of slap-back or big delay
ambiance, you've got it, thanks to the Samsara Delay's wide range of 20 to 600 ms delay times. 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.
Budda Samsara Delay #BSD $145.00
1 Spot Power Supply
The 1 SPOT is a 9V DC adapter that takes up only one spot on an outlet
strip or wall outlet, solving an annoying problem that people have
complained about for years.
It has a heavy duty output cable and will work with any equipment that
uses one of the following adapters: Boss PSA, Boss ACA, Danelectro DA1, DOD PS-200R, Dunlop ECB-03, Ibanez AC-109, Korg A30950, Morley
9V, Zoom AD-0006 (over 90% of the effects pedals on the market).

Steel Guitar Pickups
The George L company has put decades of engineering expertise to work in the development of their products!
Their steel guitar humbucking pickups are used worldwide by the best players. These pickups are renowned for
great sustain and tone response. George L uses only the best copper wire and shielding and a special
combination of components that will enhance your sound and give your instrument the voice you’ve been

The E-66 pickup was created by George L. Lewis for Buddy Emmons to provide that famous 1966 Emmons
sound for which he was so well known! Since the E-66’s became available Billy has put them on every guitar he
has played. We feel it will make a noticeable difference on any guitar on which it is installed.
It is available in a 10 string version with 17.5 Ohms and in a 12 string version with 19.5 Ohms. Adaptable to
both E9th or C6th tunings and are interchangeable with most guitar brand pickups.

Storage Seats
The ’Esquire’
The Walker "Esquire" models are an extremely well built
custom seat being used by many pro players as well as guys
and gals who play recreationally. It is available with or
without the spine-supporting backrest.
The seat and backrest are covered with superior quality ‘no
sweat’ fabric that will never hamper leg movement. This
fabric, coupled with the exclusive Walker "triple layer"
cushioning system, results in exceptionally comfortable
sitting.
The sides are covered with heavy duty laminate and edges
are trimmed in "hand burnished" aluminum. The seat ‘box’
is divided into roomy, interior compartments that are designed to hold your volume pedal and loads of accessories.
Additionally, you will find a newly designed, unique and more secure latch system for the tubular legs and bracing. The result is
an extremely stable, comfortable sitting environment.
The ‘Throne’
The name says it all. You will definitely feel like
royalty sitting on this exceptionally comfortable
and convenient seat. The "Throne" model has all of
the great features of the "Esquire" with the addition
of a side compartment that opens independently of
the rest of the seat. You can quickly replace that
broken third string without getting up from the
guitar!
When left in the open position, the ‘door’ may be
used to give you a little extra space on which to set
items such as a tuner, chord chart or even the beverage of your choice.

keyboards, vocals AND the pedal steel guitar! How well I
