Nice tone and played well, Mike. Always liked this song since I heard Ronnie Montrose play it back in the late '70s.

I always loved the pedal steel part that BJ Cole played but it was hard to hear in the mix sometimes - at least on my turntable back in the '70s.
Here's isolated tracks with the full pedal steel part ...

While Chris Shiflett is mainly known as the lead guitarist for the Foo Fighters he plays rock with a country twang in his own band. Here's a show recorded at Apogee Studio in Santa Monica with Boo Ber ...

I haven't tried it with a pedal steel. 3 amps setup for wet-dry-wet is a glorious sound for lead guitar but I think it would take up too much space (both physically and sonically) for most pedal steel ...

Hi, John. I hope you're doing. Here are some pictures of my Williams Series 700. Nice guitar - but I haven't changed much, so I can't tell you how easy your staggered levers would be. Let me know if y ...

Roger -
Glad your wait is over and you can start enjoying that Williams guitar. I've been very happy with my Williams D10. Good luck and have fun!

The session was recorded and filmed in a barn at David's home in Sussex, England, in January 2007. There are roughly 200 jams that exist. Three tracks we ...

Another set by The Manakooras - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyZG70BHrgU

Some very nice steel playing throughout although the camera work may leave you a bit sea sick at times.

Dave - thanks for posting the link. I break out a steel guitar occasionally with my surf band but we lean more towards the Blue Hawaiians when that happens. It would be fun to play it on higher energy ...

+1 for putting a pedalboard on a keyboard chair but I've been thinking about using a percussion table stand like this Gibraltar Sidekick or the Meinl table. Would also need a gig bag to store it in wi ...

Quilter Travis Toy 12 has great sound and is light. I haven't used my Peavey Session 400 since I got the TT12.

I've owned a Williams D10 for several years and they're great guitars. Good tone with a 705 pickup and smooth action on the pedals and levers. Last week I called and asked about changing my copedent. ...

My condolences to b0b's family. Creating and fostering a sense of community among steel players is a great and admirable legacy.

Great interview and Chris Scruggs playing guitar and steel. He plays non-pedal steel starting at 1:24:30 with some really great examples of different techniques around 1:29:00.

Thanks for posting. My favorite part is at the 1 hour mark when Dan Dugmore talks about asking Sneaky Pete "Tell me how it's tuned and what the pedals do" and Sneaky Pete replies "Well, ...

Bob - thanks for all you've done to make the Steel Guitar Forum a great community for so many people. You've made a positive difference in our lives.

Sorry to hear this sad news. Thanks for sharing the video, Nate.

Harold - if I ran into this I'd look at what the next chord is to get some context - but, I'd probably play D-F-A-C#. A minor chord with a raised 7th as opposed to the standard Dm7 - D-F-A-C. I think ...

I think the red sunglasses are your key to fame - or are those rose colored? Enjoyed the video.

John McClung might be able to help you with right hand technique. You can reach him through the forum or email him at steelguitarlessons@earthlink.net

I've watched most of Jim's videos and find them thought (and chuckle) provoking. He also plays pedal steel. What I'd like to see is a video showing the same pedal steel guitar plugged into an amp and ...

Try searching for trumpet or clarinet mouthpiece cases. Might be some that could work to hold a tone bar.

I will always remember the phone calls I had with Fred as he was building me a steel - especially the call one morning when he said "Hi, Rick. Want to hear the first notes played on your steel as ...

Hi, Christo. Glad to see you on the forum. Over the last few months I've watched a number of your videos. Not sure where you find the time at the end of semester in law school to practice - let alone ...

When the author used the word "lachrymal" it's possible they were using a thesaurus to find a fancier way to say "crying steel" or maybe they were talking about the many tears shed ...
