Your lessons are invaluable! A quick question if you don't mind...
I am a novice steeler using an OLD ShoBud volume pedal. It crackles full volume. Should I replace the pot or get a newer model? What volume pedal do you suggest for a novice steeler?
thanks so much for all you do for the pedal steel scene!
Steve...if you like the tone that your pedal gives you...replace the pot. All pot pedals will eventually fail internally. If you can afford a Keith Hilton pedal...this will eliminate the need to continually maintain your pot pedal. They cost about 300.00...thanks for posting, and tuning in Steve...write me anytime...Mickey
This is beautiful, Mickey. I'm so taken back by your playing. Guitar, steel, all of it. It's helped me understand things SO much better. One request, if you've been reading my comments, you know I'm a Keith Whitley fan. That steel solo on "I'm No Stranger To The Rain" was always soo HOT. I've been trying to learn it in my free time, but to no avail. Help?
thanks for all the help! and just in time for christmas!

wow! thanks for your reply, Mickey.
I'll get on it. I do love the tone, and it's a really nice piece of equipment, too. I'd hate to get rid of it, but I thought it's time had come!
best,

Unlike a LOT of so called lessons, this guy's lessons really show you all the detail of what to do. More power to you, Mickey.
