Thanks for the replies. Michael - thanks for the pic!

Maybe the Rotary is what I'm hearing. That combined with his mastery of volume pedal and bar vibrato technique makes for an amazing ethereal sound, with unbelievable sustain!

I ran across this video of Tift Merritt with Eric Heywood performing "Eastern Light". I really like what he's doing with the pedal steel here. I see there appears to be an Ebow sitting on his steel, and he's getting an almost ebow-ish sound at times, but the way it's sitting makes me think...

Sold, please close.

Gold Tone Paul Beard Signature Series square neck resonator. Great condition. Rarely used. One tiny place on the front finish above the sound hole, and a tiny nick along the binding near it (see 3rd photo). Otherwise just minimal light surface scratches which only show up close with the flash on. Go...

I am interested. Email sent.

Nice!

Very nice playing!

Thanks for the suggestion! I need to work this in to my practice routine.

In this context, "A11" would be something like 56 KHz, so maybe dogs could hear it?

I bet you learned a few things in the process, too. Yes! I generally do a lot of improv and playing by ear, so I end up playing in boxes/patterns without specifically seeking out particular notes. This little exercise forced me to find notes in places I wouldn't normally go to. Now, if I can just i...

This is why I don't like U-12. Too many redundancies. You have 4 ways to get an open C# note, and 3 ways to get open E! There has to be a better way. :whoa: That is a good point, the U-12 tuning does introduce more redundancies. But still, at least about 25 of these are available on a 10 string E9 ...

I was explaining to a non-steeler friend how many ways there are to hit each note on a pedal steel. I had never actually counted before, so I decided to pick a note and find how many ways I can hit it. I picked A4 (440 hz) because it's a good reference note, and it's available across the whole neck....

Email sent requesting more details. Pics would be helpful. Thanks!

Nice playing!

PM sent. What is the knob by the input jack?

The tuner is spoken for. Others are still available.

I'm using PitchLab Pro on my android phone, and you CAN add custom temperaments. It's great!

+1 for the Peterson adapter plug for apple products, but it does not work on my android.

Regarding a phone mount on your steel... Look at magnetic phone holders with suction cup mounts.

Very nice playing, and your Carter sounds great!
