The book also includes a Chord Formula page so you can find chords such as Major, Minor, 7ths, Diminished and Augmented anywhere on the E9th neck. Plus two other pages showing you where many of these are located and the strings grips used to play them. I have added 4 more pages of instruction to my original book which I feel should help you to understand the learning process of the steel.

This is my E9th Pedal Steel Guitar Course which is geared to the Novice to Intermediate player. I built the course around the A & B pedals and the raise and lower of the E's because most steels have at least these Pedals and Knee levers. This course also includes a CD of me playing the songs and licks slowly in phrases and has 10 additional Rhythm Tracks to practice the songs. 27 tracks in all are on the CD.

Thanks very much for your prompt and courteous service on my recent purchases. I am pleased to advise that in a short amount of time, I have found your EZ E9th course very easy to follow and understand. The arrangements are reasonably straight forward and very effective. I would certainly recommend your EZ E9th course and your 30 Licks & Fills to any pedal steel player who wants to get on the right track early in their learning stage. Thanks again. Regards, Kerry."

Hi, just to let you know I got the course for the E9 pedal steel. It is an awesome course. I love it, I am playing every day to get used to playing, I am a new player . Fred

Hi Don, Received it this afternoon and have tried several of the licks and some of the songs out! Excellent! Thanks so much! Gary

Hi Don: When I stared playing again I was over at a friends house who was a great guitar player and decent steel player before a couple of strokes struck him. His right side is not in great working order anymore. He still buy's and trades steels off and on, but can only play with a flat pick and strum it. I told him that I couldn't remember anything from before, or at least not enough to play again. He dug up a couple of your tab books and said this guy will teach you how again. I brought them home and the rest is history as they say. Paul

Don, I received your E9th training course and have really enjoyed it. I have # 21-51 of Jeff Newman's Woodshed series and most all of his stuff. I also have all of Herb Steiner, Dick Meis and some of Joe Wrights. Lots of books etc. All in all about $1,500 worth of material. Saying all of this I love the way you tab things out. I am a mostly self taught beginner with no musical back ground. It was so great to sit down and be able to run through a song and be able to play it. I know that all the other training material has helped me in many ways but i just wanted you to know that I have really loved your stuff.
I will be recommending your course to all my beginner friends. Thanks again and God Bless JOHN COFFMAN

I just received your CD's and wanted to thank you for a great E9th course. It is some what of a crap shoot buying instructional material as I am sure you must know. It is very refreshing to get my hands on something that allows me to practice what I am learning with current songs. I truly appreciate you providing material that allows one a toe hold to get started instead of just blowing me away with just how good you are. There is a ton of material here that can be applied in many different ways and I look forward to working my way through the CD's.
Sincerely, Jack Spillane

I got mine in the mail today and no you can't have it back. It's great. Thanks Don for taking the time to do this. I recommend it to all newbies as it works mostly two strings, two pedals and two knees. Chuck Hall

Just spent the better part of Sunday working on Don Sulesky's E9th Course & Tab. I can't tell you how easy he has laid out his course and tablature. Its so easy to follow, I have had Don's course/tab for a couple of weeks now and I have 9 songs down pat from start to the last bar. His course/tab combines single notes and chord groupings which allows you to play the tune first time through. Thanks again Don for some great material. Johnny Baldwin

One of the first tabbed out songs I learned was Don's "Unchained Melody" on the Rebel site. The way Don writes his tab (including lyrics) makes the task of learning a complete song so simple. His arrangements of single note and chord groupings brings instant satisfaction to the player. Don writes like he plays...smooth transitions, melody out front and great intros and outros. His E9th course is perfect and his tablature can be utilized by beginners, intermediates and pros.

I ordered Don's E9th Course, which is filled with tabbed out songs you'll really enjoy playing. I urge you to check out Don's site and order his E9th Course or his Tab Collection. You won't be disappointed. John

Don, I have enjoyed your E9th course very much...I have learned a lot from it... I really like the simple, yet VERY effective approach you use to teach us beginners....Thanks......James

Don, I worked on several of your tabs this weekend and am very pleased. It was a pleasure to play with your R-tracks. Sure makes playing much more enjoyable. Fred

Got the course on Monday. My wife says she can actually hear a little music that she can recognize now.
I'm having fun anyway. I look forward to ordering some more stuff in the near future.
Thanks again.
Jim

Hello Donald...Just wanted to let you know that I received the material
today....I have looked it over and "Test Drove" it a little.....Very easy to
follow...This is a very good course. Thanks for the prompt service. Bobby R.

Don, I got your package today, posted on the 9th and I received it the 11th. Truly great service. First glance looks like it is just what us old beginners need, will report as I progress with it. Thanks, Gary

Don, I have only spent about an hour with your E9th Course and what a ball. Gives me the feeling that I may learn to play this thing yet. Your tip about playing each line as a phrase is great. I am so impressed that although I probably won't be ready for a while I would like to order your "Special of 4" books and CDs. Enclosed find a Postal Money Order. Thanks again Gary

Don, the E9th course is great. The chord charts are the most complete
I've seen, and I have several. Thanks for "Blue Skies".
I got the course the other day.
Thank you for sharing your talent. Richard

Don, I received my copy of your course today. It's just what the doctor ordered. The songs are tabbed in simplicity and leave the beginning student with loads of possibilities when it's time to expand their musical vocabulary.
It's so gratifying to be actually playing songs. Now I can actually understand some of the theory I've learned. I'll be back, Thank you RC

Hi Don

It’s Eddie here from the UK. Just wanted to let you know that the E9th course and CD all arrived today and I have been having loads of fun playing along this evening, it does exactly what you say, it is nicely laid out and real easy to follow, I will be ordering more from you on Thursday when I get back to work. Best regards, Eddie

Don: Received your course the end of last week. Great course and tabs. Very good sound tracks also.
You have the intro to "Bummin' Around" in the course which is one of my top favorites and has been for years. Thanks Paul Hokanson

I also have forum member Don Sulesky's "EZ E9th Course". I really like Don's rendition of Elvis's "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You". Wow! I can play through that, yes sir!

Don,
I received the CD and book in the mail yesterday and played through a couple of tunes. It is just what I was looking for. I am fairly new to PSG and have limited time to practice due to my job. The course keeps things simple by using only 2 pedals, 2 knees and usually playing 2 strings which I am able to accomplish easily. I especially found the chord finder to be useful and spent some time running through the inversions which gave me lots of ideas. I will most likely buy some of your other material in the future.
This is an excellent approach to learning the pedal steel quickly.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Tim K.

Hi Don, this is for your EZ E9 course, I've heard from friends that this is really a top course. Richard
