Hi Everyone!

I’ve finished recording my CD Steel My Guitar Gently Weeps and it’s now ready for sale and distribution through my new website!
!!! Notice to steelers --- the music on this CD is not country flavored or influenced. !!!

The website is http://www.pedalsteelguitarmusic.com

The testimonial page on the website may not be up yet, so I printed it out below.

(Here is some of the free instructional material that will be available for viewing or downloading on the website once it’s completed in the very near future:
Basic Major & Minor Scales / Expanded Minor Scales / Charted Out Songs / Youtube Videos
There will also be a pedal steel guitar instructional DVD available for purchase.
The 2-hour DVD will contain 3 separate sections –
Top 20 Licks / Majoring in Minors / Playing the Song Not the Instrument)

To contact me direct:

Email: marc4music@aol.com
Phone: (970) 232-9644

Thanks!
Marc

Folks who recommend this CD and what they’re saying about it:

Fantastic, really, really great, and I can’t stop playing this CD over & over!
Stu Clark / Healdsburg, CA

I love these songs, I recognized each one immediately, and you did a fantastic job playing each and every instrument, Wow!
Cliff Jones / Magnolia, Texas

You couldn’t want from a better musical album, he’s so talented -- everyone should buy it!
Alice Friedland / Address Unknown
(OK – I made this one up – my mom is no longer with us, but if she were still here, I’m pretty sure she would say something pretty close to this)

Simply great, unbelievable! I was expecting to hear country music, but was I wrong. Until I heard this CD I never would have guessed this style of music can be played on a pedal steel guitar and so beautifully.
Gary Barnett / Casper, Wyoming

I’m totally impressed. I love this era of music and your interpretation of these songs on the pedal steel. I’ve been playing violin my whole life, and am having a total blast fiddling around with the melodies along with the backing tracks.
Rex Bolan / Loveland, CO

Loved the CD! Sounds Super Marc!!! My favorite…..? All of them!!!
Hilly Michaels / New Haven, CT

Classy and tasteful -- I love these songs they’re the ones I grew up with.
So many parts being played at the same time without getting in the way of each other, only a true musician could do that.
Mike Foster / Texas & Colorado

Real awesome, so great! -- You hear things no one else does on the pedal steel.
Your versatility’s incredible – from Fiddler on the Roof to Jimi Hendrix!
And I loved that diminished chord in The Four Tops song.
Art Kadish / East Haven, CT

I’ve been enjoying your CD. My favorite tracks are My Guitar Gently Weeps, Little Wing and How Can I Be Sure. You picked some great tunes and added your own touch!
Chuck Lettes / Denver, Colorado

Marc Friedland has taken the pedal steel to a higher level. Friedland’s CD is a wonderful expression of musical virtuosity and feeling that goes far beyond the traditional view of the pedal steel.
John Hall / San Francisco, CA

“An invaluable practice tool for steelers or pretty much ANY melodic instrument”
These songs really bring back the memories! I can think of more tunes for your next three CDs! and am already looking forward to hearing them.
Michael Kohl / Vallejo, CA

Great title for your CD, Marc - thought folks had used up just about all possible phrases using the word "steel" but you get the originality award for this one. Look forward to checking the CD out.

Thanks Jeff. The title just sort of presented itself because of the songs I chose to play on the album. Once it came to me I knew that was it.
Other considerations were:
Steeling in the Shadows of Love
You Keep Me Steeling On

Thanks Pete – you’ll be getting your CD copy real soon!
