Hi gentlemen!
I'm a beginner at pedal steel, and I just got my first pedal steel with rkl lever that works right (lower E's 1/2 step).. I need some ideas on what licks and chords I can get using this lever together with my A,B & C pedals..
All help is very welcome!
Frode

Frode,
With this question you will either get no reply, or be flooded with replies.
The point is to first have a good understanding of how the three floor pedals are used to get around chord changes and melody lines. This lowering lever is, in my humble opinion, one of the 'bread and butter' levers on a steel. Without this lever on my guitar I might as well stop playing. I would suggest you look for training material by Jeff Newman, Buddy Emmons, and others. This is a huge question to have to answer on the forum.

Yes I know.. Maybe I told the question in a stupid way. I know how to use it for minors, and 7's (with B pedal) and some ways to play major scales including it. I was more thinking of if some of you have some easy standard licks or chords changes using it (with ABC) since I done most of my playing and licks only using ABC and lowering D# RKR.. I have a decent understanding of what's happening when using pedals and levers, but I have allways enjoyed these topics here on this forum where people share their standard ABC licks, and was kinda hoping for the same with this one!

Frode,
Now that makes more sense.
I'm sure you'll get some replies. In the meantime I'll tab some for you, as soon as time permits.

Frode,
I suggest you contact Paul Franklin web site. I just purchased a set of 3 instruction Cd's. On of those CD's, he teaches the exact use of those top 2 strings. It slowly explains in detail the use of that inside right knee left. Its money well spent.and very simple to use. The Cd will explain everything. Good luck with it. ITs. "paul-franklin.com" search. and order..or call directly..615-865-4754 |

Hi Frode,
here's a little lick first with the A+B pedals, then with the A+C pedals to decorate a V chord leading back to 1. Ive put it in C major, so you start on G at the 10th fret with pedals down (G6 with C pedal down) then walk down until you arrive at C at the Third fret with A+B pedals down.
