Chris - Why Not? - not sure but I am actively looking for pedal steel music outside the box using the steel as the main instrument in a singer songwriter situation...please let me know if you have any leads...aside from RR of course

Roual - thanks for the best wishes mate...

I considered this question for a long time before deciding to make my last record entirely with pedal steel guitar and a rhythm section. With the assistance or renowned producer John Whynot (Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Lucinda Williams, Colin James, Change Of Heart, Loreena McKennitt, Big Wreck +++)...

Hey folks,
No fancy steel playing in this one, no pure glistening steel tone, no solo, just using the steel to support the song...enjoy

Long days travel, long nights playing, throat full of glass and yet....

Does anybody have any information about these instruments? One has come to me by way of a friend and I would like some background...It is a Rodgers 8 String with 4 pedals, I think they were made in Alberta in the seventies...

One night in the studio, after many too many whiskeys and various other mental remedies, we were screwing around and recorded this old George Jones tune...

Just wanted to mention that I picked up a new pedal from my buddy Al (Steel Guitars Canada) last week. It is the Sarno Earth Drive pedal. Being a bass player for many years I always got frustrated by the lack of good overdrive pedals that did not suck out all the low end. Now that I am in tune with ...

I thought I had posted this earlier today, but I must have not hit "submit"...if it shows up twice I apologize... I was commenting on how lucky I am to have Al Brisco and his pedal steel shop, ( Steel Guitars Canada ), so close to me. A few years back when I took an interest in pedal steel...

I guess this is nothing unusual then...thanks for the link Frank

I guess tuning is pretty much standard. Due to the ammount of "strumming" I do, as the sole guitarist in the band, I have changed things a bit. F#-D#-G#-E-B-G#- F# -E-B-G#-E-B -here is the difference...the seventh string is detuned to an E and an extra change has been made RKL(r) to drop t...

Don, Jay and Jerry Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself and also to have a listen to the tunes. Nice to see some acceptance for being outside the box. As I said , I am mostly a songwriter, the PS has become my method of delivery, and I love it. I was also contacted, through another site,...

Hey there folks, Ken Tizzard here. I've been lurking this board for a few years and thought it time I said "hi." A few years back I started playing pedal steel and it has taken over a large chunk of my life. I just finished my first all pedal steel record (well bass and drums, but no other...
