[superorangeish]

Could you detail these intros(strings, frets etc..coz that's the sound!

[zummo61]

These are great videos, thanks for posting. I am finally making progress with my pedal steel I have had for years. The ephiphanies come quick!

[hardhead9640]

What was the fret, String, & pedal pattern on the second intro if you don't mind..

[hardhead9640]

Ok Mickey here's your chance. EAA 2011 is coming up in less than 2 weeks. Time to pack your bags and a guitar and head north my friend..I once again will be there this year working in Security for Honda..( who knew they built a snazzy little business class Jet). Anyway, hope to see you this year. hardhead9640@yahoo.com

[Singlpilot]

Am, AM7 Am7-5 depending on which strings you strike!...

[shammy129]

[jimkenslu]

HI Mickey,,i love your teaching. i am learning a lot from your vidios.i have a few vhs teaching tapes but yours is so much better..Thanks my friend .. James

[gunnysack2]

I don't know if it's a good thing to try and learn the pedal steel at my age or not. It gets fusterating to watch you play so easly and I want to sooo bad but mine comes out mostly trash. But...all I've got is time. Maybe it will rub off.

Love to hear you play! Do you play in Vegas?

Thanks for the tutoring!

Lap steel has no pedals of course, therefore you cannot change the pitch of any string mechanically. Usually the lap steel has fewer strings.

[Tom89Wog]

What's the difference between a lap steel and a pedal steel?

[kurtfrei]

Hi, this is Kurt from Switzerland, I'm just learning from your videos! Thanks a lot...

[Singlpilot]

Kurt thanks for posting...Glad to hear it my friend. Keep me posted on your progress..Mickey

[buenadriver2]

What is your amp set up? That is a beautiful sound, and sustain.Dale

[Singlpilot]

Highly modified Peavey Vegas, and basic Boss efeect...nothing really out of the ordinary. Most of the tone is definately the Mullen G2 guitar...thanks for the post...Mickey

[buenadriver2]

Is the Vegas a 400? And is it the factory mod kit? I am thinking of modding either my Session 500 or my Vegas 400. It would be awhile before I could get a Mullen although I live in Colorado. Regards Dale

[Singlpilot]

Buena, The first mod kit I was aware of was the LeMay mod. Peavey eventually copied it. There is another mod available as well from a forum member named Ken Fox. The cost for the mod plus shipping is around 300.00...But well worth it. As for modding the 500...well...do you really want to carry that heavy thing around?..The nashville is the same amp as the Vegas, only with 1 channel...

[bradharper]

Singlpilot, thanks for your time with these videos. As a beginner, this is the best, most convenient bundle of resources I've been able to find online.

[Singlpilot]

Brad, Glad to hear that!...New Videos coming soon...Mick

[Batchylnuevos]

Just excellent. And BTW, Steelie 1955, Mickey doesn't seem to need anyone's help; his clip is clear and to the point, while your "two cents" might as well be written in Chinese.

[Singlpilot]

Steelie has a good point...The notes relate!...They work...thats the beauty of music...Everyone hears and percieves things differently. He scrutinized it.....He uses the force?....LOL...

[FlitterGuy]

Thank you very much for all your postings. I am a new steel student, and your info is a great help and insperation. Please keep them comming!

Greg

[Steelie1955]

Can I add my two cents to this??

When you press B+C pedals, play strings 2345, then release the pedals whilst activating the E lever, slide down two frets, activating the F lever, strings 345.

[Singlpilot]

Thanks for the 2 cents...LOL....Im trying to post some things in very simple formats. Nice change though!...So much o learn and so little time ya know?.....Mickey
