Perhaps the biggest exposure of PSG in recent times: Mr Wood having one delivered to him on stage in the hit movie "Shine a Light" with some rock band. As I recall he added some "color" to a tune about a girl with far away eyes-a complex arrangement with as many as three chords. He might have been playing an Emmons, can't recall. Sure would be great to have a "Spinal Tap" style movie with a country band..

Hi Michael -
Unusual for you to have "no comment."

Yes, more info on Mr. Wood's Emmons would be enlightening. Perhaps one of the friends/brothers "across the pond" would shed some light on this Rosewood mica S-10. Does it have a history like "Blackie", Mr. Clapton's Strat? Who "vets" it-there must be someone in charge of it like his guitar tech. Inquiring minds want to know...

The steel in the picture in the first post is clearly a Sho-Bud--note "Gumby" keyhead.
The Emmons is in the YouTube video Mike Perlowin gave the link to above. It appears to be an S-10 with 6 pedals and no knee levers. And Mr. Wood does indeed MOSTLY seem to use only the first two pedals (the A pedal gets a real workout!) But he does use B&C (twice) in his solo (at 2:15).

He used a round front Pro 1 in the 70s. You can see it in a Stones video from that era. I'll have to dig it up on youtube. He sounds better in the 70s clip than he does in Shine a Light.
Ron Wood seems to approach the pedal steel like a slide player. Close doesn't count in pedal steel playing, unlike bottleneck and stuff like that. I see this as his main issue with steel. But I'm sure he doesn't give a darn anyway. His expressions and body language show his sense of humor regarding his limitations.

At least he is exposing PSG to many people in the world that would never normally see or hear one-that's a good thing. I'm sure he has a fine time playing with his pals,that's a good thing too. He's been in the media lately with his new Russian girlfriend. I was just wondering if anyone close to the RS crew knew much about his gear, etc.

The pedal steel is such an intriguing instrument, I am never surprised at the players of other instruments who are facinated by it enough to get one and put it to use. Ron Wood does not have to be on a level with anybody else on the pedal guitar or up to some mythical standard to be considered a "real" pedal steel player. He just has to play it the way he plays it and use what he plays in his musical situation.

Amen Bill-one does not have to be a virtuoso on PSG to express and enhance a song. And hats off to Ron Wood-he's sure sold a lot more records than I ever will-and most likely anyone on this forum. I had the immense pleasure of chatting with David Lindley when I worked at the Sound Factory, we got on the subject of PSG, his words were"...man, those are scary-I start playing one and all of the sudden six days goes by before I look up..."

You know, the Stones would be the best group to do a Spinal Tap style country parody. I've always thought Girl with the Far Away eyes was parody anyway. I can see it now, the boys touring the roadhouse circuit in the 50s in a big old 48 Caddy. Jagger in snakeskin cowboy boots and a big ol hat. Keef and Ron the lovable drunks one step ahead of the lovely ladies' boyfriends at every stop.
Anyone who ever saw Jagger's masterful Keef impersonation on Saturday Night Live knows he could pull it off. Heck, the script would write itself.
My daughter's boyfriend is English, and they seem to have a real liking for American kitch and excess. He's really intrigued with the mechanicals of my PSG.
