Hotel California Solo/Duet on pedal steel

Post by David Moore »

There must be a thousand guitar versions on YouTube, but what the world really needs is a steel guitar version!

..and I thought I was the only one! Yes, I worked up an instrumental for this song several years ago. I love how you can start at the 10th fret Bmin and the changes line up, using proper pedals and levers, all the way down the fretboard to the F# for the melody.

Fine playing here. Good job. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for posting. Myself I am not into many effects but you did a fantastic job. I like the harmonies and the videos you posted together. Yes, the world does need to hear more steel guitar.

Thanks to Paul, Tony and Mark. It was fun going heavy on the effects and adapting guitar licks to steel. It makes me approach the steel differently. I prefer just playing with a little reverb, but using the effects really helps me when playing with rockers.
