Thanks for your responses. I wish I would have known this stuff 40 years ago. So when I retired I studied basic music theory and learned the Nashville number system. I think the people who came up with the pedal changes were geniuses, Buddy, Jimmy Day, Lloyd Green and others. For example, play strin...

Hi Jason: Knee lever D lowers the E string 1/2 tone. Jeff Newman called the lever D while most now refer to it as E, and vice versa. Knee lever E lowers strings 2 and 9 a half tone. There are times when a harmony is found in two places. Eg: 2G or 3E on strings 1 and 2. Also 3B on strings 6 and 7 or ...

A CD, available from Bob,by Michael Goodsell contains
the song. The album, called Steelin' Some Jazz, has
ten classics, including Girl From Ipanema, Misty and
The Shadow Of Your Smile. Michael is a fine steeler from Quebec, Canada.

I want to thank Chuck Lettes and George Piburn
for hosting the non-pedal session. It was a nice complement to all the pedal steelers on the main stage.
Each and every artist was enjoyed.

On a 10 string, non-pedal I prefer
E G# B E G# B C# E G# F#.
On a 9 string, drop the bottom E.
Adding 9ths in the lower register
muddies the sound.
