It's not a pedal steel guitar

Post by Donald Fullmer »

It's an all knee-lever steel guitar. I call it my kneewaian steel guitar.I'am a member in two
Hawaiian steel guitar club's.Each club has a convention during the year which I go too and play Hawaiian music. Who ever wants to play on stage gets a half-hour. Some years
back I got the idea of doing my tuning's on knee levers instead of pedals.The Hawaiian's
use the triple neck Fenders a lot and they are back and forth on the three necks during the song's that they play.
Since I've played in country band's thru the year's with pedal-steel ,I'll just put their tuning's on knee-levers and won't have too jump necks like they do.I would'nt need but two knee -levers but since I played C-6th with five pedals and knees why not put some of
those also on knees.
My knee-lever steel is a GFI 10 string with a pad on the back with 10 knees.6 knees on
my left leg and 4 knees on my right leg.I don't know how to do things on this Tablet yet because I never had to use one in my work, My daugher's told me to get one so I could
talk to other steel players on the Forum.It's the best thing that ever happened to Steel guitar Thanks to b0B. Keep on Pickin. Don

Way to go Don! You're the king of the chords. A man that knows what he kneeds.
