The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to or where to find information on playing chimes or harmonics to be played as backup often heard in fiddle tunes?

Thanks very much
Thomas Webb

First you have to learn the technique. That's been covered before on the Forum......do a search in the Pedal Steel section and I think you'll find several threads on chiming.

Thomas, you may get another "slant" on palm harmonics by watching these videos :-

The SECOND section on this page is somewhat useful


There is a long discussion about them.. <here>

My teacher uses the fingernail on his little finger to "stop" the string at the desired fret. So many ways.
