it is unbelievably hard to get right, I've been at it for a little over 2 years now and it still sounds like a cat in a bag sometimes.

i'm lucky in that i get to play with a few really really good players. satisfies my steel craving without having to go through all of that work!!

here's a fun clip from one of my favourite steelers, Jimmy Day:

Love that song from Nickle Creek right?

I bought a pedal steel ( Rittenberry SD10) about three years ago.
I am nowhere even as close to playing like Gary Carter... but I recognize his great technique and blocking.

Lessons are mandatory with this instrument. Portland Oregon has a great community of steelers... we get together 2x a year to jam... and they let a beginner like me sit in.

Gary is a master. His work with Connie Smith and Marty Stuart is unreal. This is amazing footage !

He got to do a bit of a spotlight on Marty's show last night, that show is great!

Love seeing pedal steel posts here. Wicked. Gary and BJ are at the top of their game. I love both their playing.

This is me demoing a Line 6 Verbzilla for a few laughs. I'm using a Jackson pedal steel and a 1970 Twin Reverb. I didn't mic the amp or anything. It's just the camera mic you're hearing. Pedal steel is a ball to play:

There's nothing like it. Time to go listen to some Poco (Rusty Young) Mark Knopfler (Paul Franklin) and Desert Rose Band (Jaydee Maness).
