About Jonathan

I'm a professional pedal steel guitarist currently playing for several touring country music acts in the UK. I've played steel guitar in bands for over 20 years, ran a London-based steel guitar jam for several years and have been teaching for the last three.

It's my aim to make lessons fun, engaging and highly informative. There's no reason anyone with the right mindset can't get going very quickly on this instrument with a methodical approach and good technique. It's important for me to provide value for money for students so I pack a lot into the lessons, use multi-camera angles, provide teaching materials, number-theory, backing tracks and individual lesson summaries so we can track your progress and keep repetition to a minimum.

At least 20 minutes of daily practice is needed to progress with the various skills you need to master, so some level of commitment is required from the student. My biggest kick is to inspire people enough that, far from a chore, practising becomes so much fun they can't go without it!

About the lesson

Perhaps you have always wanted to have a go at learning this wonderful instrument or have just discovered the beguiling sounds of the pedal steel but have been intimidated by rumours that it is difficult to play? My mission is to prove that with persistence and the right guidance, pedal steel guitar is for everyone! I give multi-camera online lessons from my family home in North-East London. They are priced affordably with flexible timings available to suit you. No prior experience is necessary.

You will need a 10-string E9th pedal steel with 3 pedals and at least two knee levers. Many players have some mileage on steel guitar but want to break out of a rut, improve their technique or study something specific. I can help you get on track. There is no substitute for one-to-one steel guitar lessons when it comes to making real improvements.

My E9th tutorials are tailored to your needs and the styles of music you enjoy. I provide detailed and clear instruction from a complete beginner’s curriculum to studies on specific songs, player styles or techniques. Tab and written summaries accompany each 1-hour lesson.

Testimonials: “Jon is a great pedal steel teacher. His knowledge and understanding of this wonderful and infuriating instrument are more than matched by his patience, encouragement and the clarity of his teaching methods. I can honestly say, I now feel like I’m a Pedal Steel Player. Thanks Jon!” – Dave I., Sussex

“Jon kindly invited me over to his house for a lesson. He was a great tutor, and super friendly. It was an added bonus that he rented me his MSA to practise with at home which is a lovely instrument.” – John D., South London “From the perspective of someone who has played guitar including alternative tunings and 'bottleneck' styles all of his (lengthy) adult life, progressing into the realms of pedal steel was a step too far without expert guidance. Jon communicates the necessary techniques, skills, and patience, to make the learning experience rewarding and enjoyable. Lessons are structured yet flexible to accommodate ability level, and successfully navigate theory while providing practical support and encouragement. Through Jon, I have been introduced to classic pedal steel phrasing and styles and encouraged to research the history of the instrument and the players and most importantly to continue my interest and desire to learn and improve. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone interested in pedal steel to seek out Jon as a tutor” – Jeff S., South London

“I am a beginner pedal steel player learning online. From the start, Jon has been able to understand my abilities, then apply just the right level of expectations to help me to progress to the next level, without it being overwhelming or too demanding. Through his experience and knowledge he is able to provide helpful tips that help unlock complex theory into more simple logic. Highly recommended and five stars *****” – Adam L., Peterborough

Perfect! Great first lesson, catching the way I do things and tweaking what I should adjust. Making the lesson about the style I want to play was appreciated.

Lars is a very engaged student with an open mind and an appetite for learning new ways to approach the instrument. He’s friendly and easy going, so a joy to teach!
