I've been playing this video over and over, wife thinks I've lost it. Wish I could buy some of his stuff. Who'd-a-thought jazz/blues on a steel guitar could sound so good?
the pedal raise different strings to make different chords, the knee levers lower different strings to make different chords to. thats the key to pedal steel!!!
The pedals stretch the strings to raise them in pitch, while the knee levers lower the pitch by loosening them. The steel guitar "effect" is from the strings changing pitch under the non moving steel slide.
Pedals and knee levers can both raise OR lower strings depending on how you set them up....and each lever/pedal can raise/lower more than one string at a time.....again, you set it up to do what you want.
haha thank you, i've been wondering my head off for ages about that. don't see too many around me to pay attention to, so i peaked at concerts and i SWEAR i could hear the tones bend.. i was all like 'how the hell do they do that?', since none of the lap steel guitar demo guys ever get to tell you.
That's a Bb6 copedant. Sounds great !
Luckily for me, I was able to get some it on E9th. Thanks for the lesson, and music
