Hi, I'm happy to announce the outcome of my most recent home recording project: a rendition of Khruangbin's "Father Bird, Mother Bird", performed on a '58 Fender Deluxe 8 lapsteel guitar and a Custom Shop Fender Nocaster. Accompanied by a small software trio on drums, acoustic bass and pia...

Thank you for the kind comments. This tune has been on my wish list for a long time, so I'm glad I finally managed to record a version of it. Inspired by Zappa's guitar sound on the original recording I also a made special mix of the tune, using a DAW auto-wah plug-in on the pedal steel fills in the...

Hi, In contrast to many other musicians I never managed to produce any home recordings during the pandemic. Instead, I spent all of my time and energy on adapting courses at my university to remote teaching. Well, with that done I have finally found the time to revive my home recording equipment and...

Hi Dave,

This was an amazing revelation for me. Your new album Is outstanding in so many ways: selected tunes, choice of co-musicians, recording quality etc.

Best Christmas present for me this year!

Hi, I'm pleased to be able to share my transcription of "Variations of a Theme - Part 1" composed by Tommy White and Lloyd Green. I started working on this transcription several years ago, but put it on hold as it had numerous passages that I could not figure out at that time. Having gaine...

Two years after my earlier attempt at this composition, and having gained a little more E9th insight, I am now ready to present an alternative transcription. This version highlights more use of the C pedal and 2nd string lower (and combinations thereof), and is probably yet another step closer to wh...

Ooooh, Ricky! That was great.

It takes me back to that fine music of yours that made me start playing the pedal steel guitar in the mid 2000s.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Excellent, Mike.

A great live version of my favorite tune on your CD.

Thanks for sharing this goodie!

Thank You, Bill, for this wonderful recording.

It was a real bonus to hear the early version of what eventually became "Hogan's Dream" on the Revisited album.

Hello, It seems like a clarification is needed regarding my tabs of Lloyd Green's music. The tabs are written the way I hear the music and the way I think it is played on Lloyd's E9th setup. Having the tabs 'Approved by Lloyd' then means that he has reviewed my tabs and have deemed them close enough...

Hi Greg.

Your little ditty sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

It's so great that these techniques of using the second string can now be added to the toolbox. There are so many beautifully-sounding musical passages hiding in there, as you have just demonstrated.

Wonderful, Doug!

Thanks for sharing.

Ricky: I owe you so much for your mentoring and support when I was a newbie on pedal steel. This is my way of giving something in return.

Rick and Paul: your wishes have just come true ... check the tablature section.
