The Jazz Series

This is a series of 30 songs which include tabs and cassette for the C6th tuning. Each song can be purchased individually.

Each of the Jazz Series pedal steel guitar tabs is a thirty minute audio taped lesson given in a relaxed and informal delivery. Jim teaches you step by step how to play the selected tune.

The bebop tunes are taught as follows: First Jim plays it through once in time with a metronome at a slow tempo. He then gives the basic chords then some chord substitutions to help you with your understanding of music theory. Next he describes how and where to play the melody (head) of the song, that is, He tells you what string to play on which fret, with which pedal and/or knee lever. Finally there is a rhythm track so you can practice playing the tune. The ballads and big band numbers are taught much the same way, except that the melody and the chords are taught together. Plus all lessons are supplemented with the tablature for the heads and the chords/chord substitutions of the songs as well as a printed chord chart.

Most of the bebop tunes are single note style tunes and all of the tunes can be translated into licks for playing Western Swing.

Individual Songs:

  • JL-10 On Green Dolphin Street

Some Of My Favorite Classics – E9th

Songs: Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain-Danny Boy-Faded Love-Make The World Go Away-Sleepwalk-Waltz Across Texas. Tabs and CD with steel and rhythm tracks Your Cost $19.95 plus shipping and handling. Note: I am incorporating the use of the pedals that lower the 5th and 10th strings a whole tone, lowering the 6th string a whole tone and splitting it to a half tone in all the songs except Danny Boy which is a traditional arrangement. I also use them in combinations. I arranged Faded Love a little differently, the last band I was with did it in G then D then A what I did was to arrange it in G then do a ride in D then end in G instead of the A. I originally learned to play Sleepwalk on non pedal steel so what I tried to do with this arrangement was to get blend of a non pedal/pedal feel to the song.
