The Steel Guitar Forum

Thank you all for the replies. I will be trying to figure these tunes out. Your info is very helpful. I'm still in the early stages of the pedal steel. I guess the most challenging thing to me is knowing exactly what the knee levers do in regards to chords and when to use them. I suppose that is on ...
