DELUXE PEDAL STEEL GUITAR METHOD, DEWITT SCOTT. CD TABLATURE

This is the standard-bearer for pedal steel instruction books. It is extremely comprehensive in scope.

If you want to learn pedal steel, this book will show you how.

FINGER HARMONICS
Another form of harmonics is the finger harmonic. You use the 3rd
or ring finger of the right hand. You must place the center of the tip
of the finger on the string on which you are to produce the harmonic.
The thumb is tucked under the ring finger, actually anchored on the
ring finger and stays there while the thumb picks the proper string.
The thumb is now playing behind the finger instead of in front of
it, as in the other harmonic positions. On a 15 fret harmonic, the
thumb will be picking the string at about the 18th fret.
KNUCKLE HARMONICS
This is the most difficult style but it is just as beautiful if not more
clear than all the others. With this style, you tuck the 3rd and 4th
fingers of the right hand under and lightly touch the string with the
knuckle. It is a clear harmonic, especially when played close to the bar.
NOTE: With the knuckle and palm harmonic styles it is possible to pick one string with
harmonics and another normally. This produces a very nice effect which we will demonstrate
on the following pages.
