There are practically no parallels between the concert harp and the pedal steel. The most important difference is that the harp mechanism stops the strings at different points rather than changing their tension.
When writing a harp part it's essential to make sure that the changes are workable. This is best done by writing them all in, but harpists get annoyed if you leave them there - they like to preserve the mystery by figuring it out themselves.

While the playing technique is different (harpists do not use a bar, and can play only open notes), and the mechanical means of changing notes is different, both instruments are designed to use pedals to change the notes on the open strings to increase the harmonic capabilities. Since the pedal harp was invented and in use for about 150 years before the pedal guitar, the idea for pedal note changes on a guitar may well have come from the pedal harp. |

Has anyone tabbed this out for C6th? It's probably easier than what she's doing because we can move the bar. She's essentially playing everything on open strings.

I'm sure Donny's right. Early guitars had radiating pedals like half a harp (the other foot being busy with the volume).

That is really cool! But just like with steel guitar, I prefer non-pedal harp. 
Edmar Castaneda is my favorite player. Just amazing.

I tried getting some right hand technique from harp books. Not sure if it helped or not, but my curiosity thought it would be good to learn how to do certain things.

Donny... wow,,
Most bass players could not replicate her bass lines with an electric bass, two hands and ten good fingers, yet she does those incredibly fast complex bass lines with one foot!... I have never seen anything like that in my life.. What a phenomenal jazz organist...
Gotta love her instrument of choice too, a B3.
You don't see many out there in the modern age, and nothing else comes close in sound or in that unique 'percussive" character...

Bob, what's really amazing is that when she needs to play even faster bass lines, she can switch to using both feet!  |
