The essentials of steel guitar: learn how to create sound effects!
I use my iPhone to record ideas for arrangements, performance, etc. Here is a look at a fresh arrangement on Monk's 'Little Rootie Tootie'. This is still a work in progress, obviously (haven't even showed it to the band yet). Right after I first conceived of the idea, I heard a train off in the distance and my interpretation of the whistle was almost dead on pitch-wise.

That was cool, Mike! What's your steel (and what pick-up)?
Thanks,
Mark

Nice one Mike,
