Blues on Pedal steel

Post by Dwight Lewis »

IMHO, this instrument has the ability to capture the heart and soul of those listening. David in "Psalms Chapter 150" said , Praise him with the stringed instrument and organs (another spiritual instrument).
Yeah Chuck is a legend in his own right. I from down in South Florida where we have had some of our own nd continue to breed them at a surprisingly rapid rate. And the tuning is evolving. When you play one of those hyms and put your all into it , it kind of changes the heart. Steel on my good man. :D

Since the Allman Bros., were mentioned,
pages ago,
I must say that "Live at the Fillmore" circa '71,(?) is one the best blues slide guitar albums available. (IMHO) Duane is absolutely magnificent !
"Statesboro Blues", is one of his many masterpieces, and can easily be translated to E9.

In my iTunes library, I have an example of how I avoid the cliched pyschedelia-buzz in my playing. If someone can tell me how to post from my iTunes library (I'm an Apple computer user) I'll post my example of blues (E9th tuning) with the BossTone effect.
I figured out how to post the song I was talking about. The song is called "That Memory of Mine" and is from a club date with the Shelli Coe Band. Again, I'm playing the E9th tuning using my Jordan Electronics BossTone.

Hello Dan,

Seems like the Blackened Toast album is out of stock.

Is there somewhere else I could get it?
