Exploring C6th Lap Steel Guitar by Andy Volk is a comprehensive new 120-page book for 6-string non-pedal steel that covers musical tools and concepts such as chords, arpeggios, and scales plus steel guitar techniques like blocking, picking, slants, rolls and harmonics and ideas for expression and creativity in arranging and improvising. The aim of the book is to give players a reference for tools and concepts that can help them build the skills to play whatever music they prefer.
