Rusty Young Pedal Steel Handbook

[Kevin Obrecht]

I posted this in “steel players” but figured it could fit here as well..

Over the last couple years of listening to Poco, Rusty Young has become a huge musical influence on me and got me interested in playing banjo, dobro and pedal steel, which I now own all three and am teaching myself on.

I’ve been trying to find a copy of Rusty Young’s Pedal Steel Handbook but it seems obsolete these days. I’d love to learn straight from the guy who inspired me to start learning these instruments, especially as I read that some of my favorite songs/parts of his like grand junction, bad weather, sagebrush serenade, etc. are tabbed/written in standard notation which I’d love to get my hands on and learn from to see his approach and style.

I don’t know if anyone has a copy they’d be willing to sell or possibly loan me so I can scan some stuff and then send it back to ya. Been trying hard to find a copy but I don’t think it’s possible other than on here
