Andy, I'm glad you like my string pull video. The Cadd9 tuning I'm using is an easy re-tune from C6. No need to change strings. Four of the strings are tuned down a whole step or more, so they're kinda floppy and easier to pull behind the bar.

I'm working on this technique and finding it really difficult - keeping hold of the bar properly when I bend, and just the strength need to pull up to pitch. I'm about to try lighter strings.
There's an interview with Chris Scruggs here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vli9nqnCINA
talking about guitar and steel, and a fabulous section showing steel techniques, including the best behind the bar bending I've ever seen - emulating the common pedal moves from a PSG. The steel part starts about 1hr 24 minutes. I'll keep running this part over and over to see whether I can get it!Enjoy!

Chris should do a Lap Steel Method. He has so much knowledge about lap steel that we could all learn from.

Yes, the Chris Scruggs steel demo is a "must-see" video. The guy is an important player, with very broad interests.
