The Steel Guitar Forum

I know about the 8th position Em and AB at the 10th...didn't know about the strings 765 though....Thanks!

I want to go from G to Em....and I want to go from AB to BC....no other way. So, I guess I HAVE to include a quick D chord between the G and Em.

Dave

is there some kind of magical move to do this! Do you take your foot off the pedals and include the D chord in the move? That is the only thing to do....right? I know it seems like a silly question...but...I have to HEAR it from you guys. Fire at will. "Dave....you silly *^%*^%" :oops: Dave

sorta on topic...maybe a bit off. What is everyone using for delay and reverb these days? I'm debating whether to buy a Line6 product or buy seperate guitar pedals. Your opinions and knowledge please. Thanks.

Dave

great stuff guys....can't wait to play tomorrow. Just bought the Jakob Dylan CD after previewing on itunes and hearing a bunch of cool steel.

Dave

Great playing! Great sound! Yowsa!

I'm not a "lead player"....I'm just a guitarist who plays music....that distinction drives me a little whackey. Absolutely still play 6 string....but I'm adding pedal steel...I'm hooked on it.

downright SEXY!

No problem. I'm at the steel just over a year now so I by no means whip through these things but, I think they are different in that they are single note runs...not what we normally see in steel tab. I'm just taking my time trying to play them clean...the speed will come. Also, I found a post by Pau...

I applaud you sir.

Just goes to show that everyone wants to play pedal steel!

These are licks that I originally wrote out for myself years ago trying to incorporate some Tele techiques...this is the first one I've transfered to the steel to help move myself along....it's moving me along! I'm making myself more aware of what the actual notes are and what the pedals and levers ...

Yeah, when I went to buy my steel from Carter (my first) last year....that finish caught my eye and I still love it...I love sunburst 6 strings as well. It is REAL nice looking.

Dave

who was the pedal steel player with Miranda????...????....is that her name....country singer. Anyway, the steel player sang background as well...while he was playing. dave ps....my college buddy played piano for Katy Perry. It was a white John Lennon Steinway....of course, she sent him to the tailor...

Got it Ed...works great, thanks a million!

Dave

Carter S10-DB Black 3 & 5

they aren't pedal steel students Chris

Tucker....I'm REAL stupid....I guess the string wasn't hooked in right.... :oops: I'm new at the steel and I have some weird fear of me screwing the thing up and somehow breaking it....so when things like that happen...I assume the worst :oops: Thanks for your help...I'll try to smarten up. Dave

3rd finger isn't moving....pressed it with my finger and the string popped out....I'm thinking sometime real simple and stupid on my part is the problem...I'll keep looking at it until my students come in 25 minutes....thanks for your help and i'llupdate sooner or later.

Dave

nope...I changed 1st, 2nd, 3rd...and then my problem hit.

Dave

i'm changing strings and when I replaced the 3rd it won't raise to A....but the 6th will. The B pedal action seems loose as well. What is the problem? Thanks.

Dave

A VERY musical player...even at that tempo...God love him

Greg Leisz plays with taste....love him.

Thanks Dick....great stuff!

b0b! Because....this place is a wealth of information. Just spent the last hour or so looking into Paul Frankin's thoughts on pick blocking and beyond....and I still am just scratching the surface. Mickey, Dick, Frank....just a few of the names I've come to know....but I'm new. All make their instru...
