Thanks guys. Glad you appreciate.

A pedal harp has 7 pedals - one for each note. In this piece, she handles 5 of them |

Forum member Mike Perlowin did a classical CD on Pedal Steel Guitar about 10 years ago, "Fireberd Suite". It was picked up and distributed by a classical music label.

Yes I know his work. Especially loved his "West Side Story".

I don't think so. Not compatible with my rebel nature. |

Nice work Jan.
I like to think I had some influence here. I of course, was influenced by Buddy Emmon's "Canon in D major" on the white album, and Marshal Hall's "Classical Steel Guitar" LP from the 70s.
The pedal steel guitar is not a country instrument. It's an instrument, period. It can do any style of music, and its only limitations are those of its players.
BTW, my 3rd and final CD, "Spanish Steel" CD is the best of the three.
MP3 files from all 3 can be heard on my web site and sound cloud page,

Tim,
thanks for the links. Hadn't heard/viewed those before.

I'm planning on doing a loop/overdub thing with a similar piece like that, but with a bunch of players involved. I'll keep you posted as you're likely to be interested.[/quote]

I have to disagree. The PSG has lots of inherent limitations (despite its unique features). But we're getting off-topic here. I just wanted to share this family recording, I'm not trying to make a point. |

What do you see as the "inherent limitations" of the pedal steel, Jan?
By the way, I really enjoyed your video.

I meant: the harmonies that are possible. For example: on E9, the knee lever that works on the E-strings raise. It's not possible to let both E-strings ring, and then raise only one of them. Sure this example is not something you'd want to play every day, but it is a limitation.
glad you liked the video |

Actually, thanks to tuned splits on 4 and 8, I can raise 4 to F while lowering 8 to Eb.
I do this on a couple of the tunes I play.

I see. You're talking about limitations of the copedent, not of the instrument in general. A more complex copedent (like Mike's) has fewer limitations.
Never overlook the power of bar slants.

I have an E9 and if I wanted to setup my guitar to raise only 1 of the Es, I could do that I think. Is there some reason that you think that can't be done?

Also, the original claim that Jan disagreed with is the following:
| Quote: |

|
It seems unreasonable that there are entire styles of music that have to be eliminated just because of something like the described problem of limitations of the ways most people setup their copedent. There might be specific licks, maybe certain peculiar chords, etc., but surely any style of music could still be accomplished, I think anyway.

Edward Grieg's "Morning" from Peer Gynt. (I don't know if it still falls in the "Classical" category).
Ernie Hagar plays it at 7:42 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEYh6j_0-1w

Also never overlook the power of playing in different positions on the neck.
For instance if you use your 9th string as the root of a major chord the basic pedals take on a totally different function.
To raise one E note you can drop down a half step and use the 2nd string and 8th string with the E's lowered. Let off the lever and you have raised one E.
My personal ability to play the the basic E9 set up is limited. The tuning is not.
