One-on-one lessons using Skype are now available at www.pedalsteel.com. I will be using 9 cameras to show you different shots of my steel as we work to make you the player you want to be. The lessons are available in 30 minute increments. The price for a 30 minute lesson is starting out at $35.00. A one hour lesson is $60.00.

You will need a webcam and a Skype account. To use ichat you will need a mobileme account, AIM account or any other account that will utilize video conferencing. I'll investigate more as we go along. BTW: A Skype account is FREE and Skype-to-Skype video calls are FREE.

Attention Mac users: Ichat AV is free and the Video chats are FREE.

You can also use an AIM account. Mac or Windows. It works!!

BTW: I have 9 cameras set-up that I can switch to live. I can even do PIP with two cameras at a time. I've found out I can switch from my Laptop camera to an external DV Converter! Sound is run direct into ProTools and then output to the DV converter. Oh yeah, I can also record each camera to its own computer. (That was for all you geeks like me.)

1 Year of Service...

We have been providing Skype lessons since January of 2009. During this time we have included with each lesson a video that shows you both sides of your lesson. After the lesson I upload it to a server and email you a link to download it to your hard drive. The video takes notes of your lesson for you.

After I receive an order for a lesson I will email you back to set-up a time that will be convenient to both parties. I am in the Eastern Time Zone. GMT (-5). This is available around the world so coordinating the lesson will be important.

Looking forward to meeting you online...pedal steel forever...joe wright
