Sounds great, Kevin. That's a great use of the Ped-a-Bro, and some fine funky playing!

Aha!....so it is possible to copy Paul Franklin to a (virtual) T .......
Have you tried any of the other numbers off the same album?

Kevin, what tuning are you using on the PedaBro? Do you play it on any SCB shows or mostly recording?

Hey John. I'm using the standard D9th Tuning. I used the Pedabro on the some of our recordings. But for the new album, I use a 6 string Dobro, and then switch back and forth to the steel / slide....

Great playing Kevin, nice and refined ! What an awesome instrument, i saw one in St Louis in 2002 at the SGC. Hall Rug played it there. Later on Mr Paul Franklin Sr. talked me through the whole instrument and explained how it all works and how it's been built.
That was quite a buzz with Hall Rug watching over the shoulder......amazing stuff !!!
Kevin i also like your other instrumental you have on youtube "Today i started loving you again" very nice rendition of the tune ! You play like Paul ! Do you own a Franklin steel too ??
Your pedabro sounds are still ringing here in Sydney while i am typing this , cheers mate !
Tomi.........steel
