The Steel Guitar Forum

Tabledit is the only one I know which can deal with copedants and can play back the correct note. Guitar Pro can be set up for 10 strings and let you notate A and B etc for the pedals and levers but doesn't alter anything regarding the pitch of the note. It does present nicer on paper or pdf than Ta...

Another shout out to Mike, such a quick turnaround in sending the lessons out. It must have been around 5am Nashville time when I ordered my lesson and it came in minutes!

Hmm
I was specifically thinking of songs in major keys, and maybe it's just the songs the guys I meet up with introduce me to where there seems to be 2 major and 3 major chords being used, Borrowed Angel, Tennessee Waltz come to mind.

but frequently uses secondary dominants

I'm not much of a classic country type but it's fairly hard to avoid learning pedal steel. I'm just wondering if there is a reason for it.

As someone that came across pedal steel via Matthew Sweet, Steve Earle and 90's Alt Country. It's fair to say that classic country isn't really my thing. Jeff has filled the gap in the tution market with songs by some of my favourite bands Whiskeytown, Richard Buckner and steel players like Greg Lei...

This is the great thing about The Steel Guitar Forum.

Do you know if they are going to make it available online to buy?

I can't add anything to this discussion as a beginner, but thank you for adding the ability to create PSG tab, no one else has.

I tried a friends Goodrich Omni the other day, I'm sold on it, best of both worlds active (with no attenuated treble) and passive, and can be battery powered so no extra power cable needed if that's an issue.

@Stu Ask Richard why Steve Earle has a problem with him!

I love this album. Thanks for reminding me about it, it's been a while since I've played it

I've listened to Ross share the journey of the Sierras, and I'm going to watch the videos.

I'm only a beginner but the way he speaks about them makes me want one.
If I start saving now, by the time I can play well enough to deserve on I might have the money together!

It would only take someone to make digital copies and some cloud space for them to sell MP4 versions of these. It's 2021 after all, I don't have a DVD player anymore I took one out of my PC a couple of years ago for more hard drive space.

I'm using the Ax8 with my PSG.

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice I have ordered a drum throne. I also had a thought this morning 'What if I sit a little closer to the steel'? This has helped no end, the seat height went down to make my thighs parallel and I can reach the knee levers and almost the hit the vertical lever w...

I'm currently using an adjustable office chair at the highest it goes, as you can see my thighs are far from parallel to the floor. The vertical is on the left, the photo makes it look different. The Fessenden has extendable legs but they are at the shortest it goes to, the bottom of the skirt is ju...

https://i.imgur.com/0JBcTRc.jpg I'm a newbie and I'm struggling to get comfortable, with my chair at it's highest I'm only just getting my knees to the levers, forget about the vertical one! I'm 5'7 I didn't think that was too short to make a big difference, maybe I'm wrong. The steels legs are at ...

Hey Ben I'm a newbie and a bad student but I've been playing guitar for nearly 40 years with solid foundational music theory. Paul Franklin's Foundations : E9 pedal steel basics made a lightbulb go off for me in terms of where to find chords etc Purely for right hand technique Joe Wright's Technique...

I can't help you out as I'm a beginner, but it's great to have you here Baron, I love mandolessons.

I use the Fractal Audio Ax8 for guitar and now pedal steel. I have a Moog expression pedal linked to a volume block to use as a volume pedal. Will there be any benefit spending money on a Goodrich or Hilton volume pedal vs my current solution? If anyone else is using the same set up how have you set...

We're so lucky to have him here in Ireland I bought my 1st pedal steel (Fessenden SD10 4x5) from him a few months ago and he handwrote the basics of set up and the 1,4,5 chords for me, and gave me the contact details of 3 players in my area that were friends of his. I'll be reaching out to them once...

I've just started learning the PSG and bought the technique bundle and it does seem to be a really thorough resource. I was hoping the drills might be more musical but I understand the limitations when you just need to focus on the picking hand that note choice is going to be limited. I suppose as I...

I started the course this week. Paul is great at explaining things so they instantly click in my head.

I'm used to Guitar Pro but they haven't added functionality for Pedal Steel so I guess I'll buy Tabledit after christmas. Mainly to jog my memory and tab stuff as I learn.

I was hoping there might be a Black Friday sale but no luck!

This was the feedback I was looking for.
