Using lessons selected from The Paul Franklin Method course, C6 Toolbox is designed to give intermediate players a jumpstart into real-world, practical applications using the advanced techniques Paul relies on both live and in recording sessions.

NOTE: C6 Toolbox assumes you currently have the technical and theory chops as taught in the C6 Essentials course or its equivalent.

Applications: C6 Pedal Steel Toolbox is a streaming video course hosted by Modern Music Masters. Your enrollment includes 12 months of access.

Unlike a private lesson, you can review the materials by watching the videos over and over, use the video player to slow things down, and print out TABs and other relevant lesson materials.

The course is composed of video content, downloadable pdfs, and Practice Tracks. The course videos are available to stream online 24/7, and can be paused, fast-forwarded, or slowed down.

The Paul Franklin Method is Paul’s online academy, a virtual library of over 560 videos that

covers everything you need to know to master both the E9 and C6 tunings. As a bonus, it also offers an optional private Facebook group where Paul and enrolled students can interact.

C6 Essentials, using lessons selected from The Method, covers the necessary skills you'll need to get comfortable on the C6 tuning. It is highly recommended that you have the skills taught in C6 Essentials mastered before you begin the C6 Toolbox lessons.

NOTE: Optional private Facebook Group access is only available when enrolled in The Paul Franklin Method.

The C6 Toolbox course is one single payment of $99. For that you get 12 months of 24/7 access to the lessons and materials.

Should you decide to continue your studies with the complete Paul Franklin Method, we will send you a discount code to apply 100% of the $99 towards any of The Method's payment plans.

Pedal Steel Guitar and Musician's Hall of Famer Paul Franklin is a master player and a master teacher. With decades of experience teaching via cassette and in person at clinics and seminars, the arrival of online teaching finally allowed Paul to reach many more players and get deeper into subjects - more than earlier methods and in-person appearances were able to do.

Paul draws on his five decades of live and studio playing with a who's-who of musical titans, from Country legends like George Strait, Alan Jackson and many others to Barbra Streisand, Harry Connick, Jr. and Megadeth.

He is expert on both E9 and C6 tunings and has an encyclopedic knowledge of classic steel styes from the early masters of the instrument. Paul was mentored by legends like Buddy Emmons, Lloyd Green, Pete Drake, Weldon Myrick, Hal Rugg, John Hughey, all fellow Hall of Famers.

His guitar dominated the charts during the Country boom of the '80's and '90's, he toured the world with Dire Straits and continues to be the first-call pedal steel player in the Nashville studio scene.

From ripping Rock, to twangy Country, to Jazz, to Western Swing and all points in between, Paul honors the past and keeps pushing the instrument forward. It is his desire to share all of the knowledge he has acquired for future generations to study and carry the pedal steel guitar torch into the future.

The Course can be viewed on desktop computers and most mobile devices – phones, tablets, laptops – as long as they have a compatible browser on them and they are connected to the internet.

You will need to keep your OS and browser current as how browsers display items changes over time. For example, in the Mac world, you will need iOS 16.x or higher.

You can watch the videos as often as you’d like (this is encouraged) throughout your 12 month enrollment.

On the C6 tuning, the standard Buddy Emmons setup is taught.
