wow!! i think you play just as good as paul franklin i just love the steel guitar so much!! i will be moving to nashville the 27th and was thinking of buying a carter to start with i could get it for 700 a real nice beginner guitar what u think? and my favorite steel player of all time is buddy charelton !!
The Carter Steel that I have is an 04/ D10, 9+8, Ped 0 position on the E9th neck is the Franklin changes. George L E66 on the E9th and a George L Eon on the C6th neck. Typical E9th tuning with the 7th raise rather than the 6 lower.
This is a standard D10 Carter, 9+8. E9th PUP is an E66, C6th PUP is a George L EON. This is a great Steel, the best I have ever owned, action second to none.
i just got a pedalmaster s10d w/ pad. I did alot of homework lookin around and found GOLD. Check out pedalmaster classic. I actually spoke w thee builder of this very ps. amazing ! built like a ferrari, w tolerences of 1,000 of an inch,crazy.
Many thanks for the comments.The Pedal Steel does take more time to work out the physical kinks with playing, but the Music and the theory behind the Music is identical to a Guitar or Piano. As far as the two necks, they are two totally different tunings.The tuning used on this tune is the traditional E9th which is probably the most commonly heard on POP,Country and Rock.The back neck is a C6th tuning and is associated more to BIG fat chords and phrases used in JAZZ or Swing.
Absolutely stunning. I had no idea you could get that much sound out of one of those. They look quite versatile too - have they been used much outside of country music?
Is it just so you can quickly switch keys by having it set-up already in a differnt key center or is it a different tonal quality? Or is there some other reason?
It's just that I seldom see a guy use both necks on one song.
Pedal Steels can be a bit pricey. Student models can be had for around $500 and up, Used Pro Steels maybe $1200 and up..New single neck Steels over $2000, new double necks can go $3000 to over $5000. Don't let the prices run you off..theres plenty of nice Instruments on the market that are real nice and will hold there value. I play a PRO Carter double neck, they make a Starter single neck which sells new for around $700 in Musicians friend. Buy smart...
Playing Pedal Steel is no different than any other Instrument. Sure there are a few more kinks in the road, feet, knees etc..but if you put the time in, like on any Instrument, I think the rewards will come. I do think that the learning hump is a tad bigger than say a 6 string..just give it more time..
Yes, this is a Pedal Steel Guitar with 9 floor Pedals and 8 knee levers. The Pedals/levers are used to raise or lower the tension of idividual strings or combinations of strings to raise or lower the pitch of individual notes, or groups of notes. On the 6 string guitar you use your fingers to change fretted positions of the strings, The Pedal Steel uses the BAR and Pedals/Knee levers to accomplish the same task.thanks.
Very nice - many thanks for posting. :-)

Awesome stuff.
What is the advatage of having the double neck?
Is it just so you can quickly switch keys by having it set-up already in a differnt key center or is it a different tonal quality? Or is there some other reason?
It's just that I seldom see a guy use both necks on one song.

I'd say a Carter Starter which can be had for around $700 on the web....It's a 10 string E9 with 3 pedals and (I think) 4 levers...
