Hey Folks,
I'm doing some two handed/right handed string pulls. I use heavy strings on my steel for sustain ect... Because of this, there is no way I would have eough strength or control to bend two string on my bar hand.
I have a few questions. It was easier to make a video showing what I'm doing and to ask the questions.

The tuning I use is "Low to High" CEGBDF - Cma11.
Thanks,
mj
I normally don't dress so nice. I had jazz guitar duo gig with a sax player tonight. |

| I dont have anything meaningful to add, but I just wanted to say that that is a super cool technique that I've never seen before and seems to have some legitimate potential utility. I hope someone more adept than me can come in and offer up some suggestions for chord changes, etc., to try. Very clever, Michael!! |

Thanks for the positive responses!
Sometimes I question myself on things like this.  |

I know that feeling. But keep at it as people will catchup after they see a practical application.
Not many willing to be early adopters. But I am down to give it a try when I get home.

Awesome, Michael! New ground. Though it does clarify why they ultimately invented the pedal steel.
