I just had to do it....
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:42 pmWell guys, I have decided to take up playing the pedal steel guitar. I've been looking for a steel player for so long I've decided to do it myself. Anyway, wish me luck.....

Pedal Steel Guitar
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:29 amThe pedal Steel is such a beutifull piece of equipment. The sounds and cry that comes from them are amazing. Great luck with this adventure and good luck mastering that monster
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 9:17 amThanks guys, I have got a bid on one now on ebay. Should know tomorrow if I get it. Looks pretty good. Can't wait.....
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 11:09 amWanna freak some people out? Add a talkbox to your pedal steel rig. 
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:10 pmThat is one fun instrument, once you start to learn stuff on it. Kinda complicated. Have fun tuning it...& tuning it again...& tuning it again...
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 5:06 pmI heard a guy add a fuzzbox to one one time.. it was - uh , interesting sounding.. :\
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 5:45 pmThe lead solo on Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe" was done on a pedal steel with overdrive. I didn't know that for years.
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 9:42 pmHeck, it was used in that Starland Vocal Band song "Afternoon Delight."
David Lindley uses it to great advantage, too.
It's a good instrument, if it's used properly, but when it isn't, it's as bad as misused bagpipes.

Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 9:44 pmmore then a few pink floyd solo's are done on pedal steel, and a fuzz box on one of those, would be interesting if I'm hearing it in my head right, and a talk box would AMAZING with one of those, Adam Jones of tool uses a talkbox in an amusing way, nothin like frampton, more along the lines of Gilmor in keep talking, now I'm ramblin, good luck bobby

Ok, not sure I know what a steel pedal is, unless of course it's the same as a steel guitar? And if that be the case, then cool beans, I'm not as dry behind the ears as I thought I was. LOL Good look Bobby on all of your new adventures, including the steel pedal. I work with a fella that plays the steel guitar, he's been playing for more than 30 years now. I love the way steel guitars sound, they seem to really bring the sounds more alive, yet at the same time since I mostly play the acustic guitar, I like the sounds of those as well.
