10 string pedal steel

Post by Derrell Reagan »

I know...I know... but I did it anyway;
I got a 10 string, 3 pedal ; single lever; Little Buddy; pedal steel. I read some not so good reviews on it but i thought I would try and see if i could play one of these things ; so i didn't spend a lot of money.My question ;
gentlemen: Im used to playing a lap steel with a C6 tuning.
I love that tuning. All i hear is; E9th for pedal steels; if i tune this guitar to a c6 tuning; what is the pedal set up for it? Or should I stick with the E9th? NEXT....I do not know any thing about setting up pedal or what strings they should be on. Somebody please give me some of your experience . Thank you Derrell Reagan...( by the way; I will never give up playing my new SX....I love that thing)

It is easier and MUCH more beneficial to send you to the beginners page on the forum.

Here is a thread on changing tuning and copedent on a pedal steel. Not recommended for a beginner player or for a guitar that is not considered “modern pro”.
