Description
The soulful, sanctified sound of sacred steel guitar combines powerful African-American gospel music with bluesy inflections, R&B passion and rock excitement. Chuck Campbell's innovative pedal steel playing epitomizes this amazing genre. His hard-driving licks and sweeping sustains have influenced innumerable musicians in all styles of music, and have helped bring these sounds to audiences worldwide.
Whether you are just starting out on pedal steel or you already play other styles, this lesson will open up a whole new world of musical inspiration for you. Chuck Campbell details his E tuning and walks you through his unique pedal set-up. He then shows the various ways he gets his much-imitated sounds. He teaches "framming" (strumming), picking, the use of vibrato, left and right hand string blocking, chords and scales for major and minor blues, and much more.
All of these techniques are brought into focus when he and the Campbell Brothers demonstrate his musicianship in two beloved traditional songs, Amazing Grace and When the Saints Go Marching In.
Description
The sound of "sacred steel" guitar has been bringing House of God congregations to depths of emotion and heights of joyous exhilaration since it was first introduced to worship in the 1930s. In recent years, the Campbell Brothers band, with Darick Campbell's riveting 8-string lap steel playing, have taken the power and brilliance of this African American gospel music to secular audiences worldwide.
This DVD gives you a close-up look at Darick's lap steel technique and teaches you to play in his unique style. He discusses essentials such as tuning, string blocking, bar technique, hammer-ons, vibrato and octave licks. You'll see how he uses volume and tone controls, wah-wah pedal and other devices to give his playing its singing, "vocal" quality. Combining bass, chord and melody, he plays and breaks down three gospel standards: Amazing Grace, I'll Fly Away and Walk with Me, Lord.
Play-along sections, with backup by the Campbell Brothers, will help you develop your own skills on the instrument and give you the opportunity to practice the songs and ideas you have learned.
