A short sample of a practice session on my home built Miller Custom pedal steel guitar. It shows a close up of my pick blocking technique. I know it is incorrect but I have been playing this way since 1983 and I am 70. It is a little too late for me to change now. A word to the wise... Don't let your bad habits become fixed. Find a good teacher and learn the correct way.

    pedal pull rod right? the way i ended up doing it was to use a propane torch to soften the end and bend it with some pliers, but this looks a lot "cooler" less chance of accidentally burning myself.

    i read somewhere that a guy mixed pull fingers with scissor fingers. i think it was maybe one string he used a scissor style on to achieve some more accuracy for a certain operation, but it seemed like potentially a good idea just in case.

    How do you make a lap steel sound like that? Every time I play mine it sounds to Hawaiian. Is there a special pedal I can use to make that cool country twang sound?

  • @intelligenceservices
    @intelligenceservices 3 місяці тому

    where's a good starting point to learn a 6 string pedal steel? i made one and i can't tell if it's any good or not because I come from regular guitar playing and so playing with the bar puts me in a position where everything i play sounds about the same. I've got an A, B, and LKL and LKR. (edit, just as i typed I noticed that Troy Brenningmeyer on youtube has a few videos about learning this exact thing.) but how did you break through to the next level of playing with slide guitars?

    • @rzsdad1

      Do you use E9th tuning? G# E B G# F# E

    • @rzsdad1
      @rzsdad1 3 місяці тому

      I have been playing pedal steel since 1983 so there was no sudden break through. It was just a passion that has taken lots of seat time on the steel. Learn the fundamentals like Troy teaches and Learn one song. That one song will contain the information to map out other songs. Listen to all other steel players and copy licks and clichés. Add them to your gig bag of tricks. They will resurface in your playing. Try to develop good technique from the start and you will see success.
