Thanks and good luck with your pedal steel journey!

I recorded them myself. The bass is a stock upright bass plug in VST from my DAW (Cubase) and the drums are me playing actual drums with brushes!

Thanks! I could forward you a chord chart if you send me an email

@@TomHammelMusicit won’t let me send my email in the comments i’ll have to find another way

Thanks John!

Lol, thx Keith!

Hi I borrowed this lap steel which was made by Paul Pigat in Vancouver. I'm pretty sure the benders are by Certano

@@TomHammelMusic I thought. So. Thank you. Very. Much

Thanks, Paula! I actually threw quite a bit of reverb and some delay on that. The tuning on it is very similar to E9 pedal steel but with only 8 strings, I took out the 7th (F#) and 9th (D) strings from the 10 string tuning. So from low to high: E G# B E G# B Eb F# . I play a lot of E9 pedal steel and I wanted to stay with that tuning as I like the chromatic runs you can get on the top strings

Glad you like it! The palm benders take some getting used to for sure

Thanks Bob~!

Thanks! Ya, those harmonies were a lot of work to figure out, and very strange to sing since don't sound very melodic on their own

Thank you! I don't tab my stuff, no, but maybe I should! Problem is I play a song a bit differently each time I do it, other than the head part/turnaround.

Thanks Emil!

Thank you!

Thx Chris, good luck with it, does feel extremely awkward at first doesn't it. I'm getting a custom 8 string made here with 3 benders and will tune it to mimic most of what an E9 pedal steel is tuned to

Hi David, no the bender unit is screwed into the body, made by Certano

Thanks! It felt awkward I have to admit. That steel was just a loaner and I'm having one with benders made for me. Hopefully it will feel more comfortable after I've played it a while!

Thanks! think you're referring to the ascending lines. took me a while to sort out the notes listening to Speedys version slowed to half speed. i have the notes written out by hand if you want to see those. i then translated to pedal steel and had to use pedals to avoid slants as the intervals change going up. So i imagine it would be very difficult to play on lap steel

@@TomHammelMusic Thanks for the reply. Yeah it's that part. I'm on a 8 string lapsteel figuring it out. The lowest notes form a diminished triad. If I could see that written out it would be great. I've been trying to figure it out for nearly 2 hours now

@@blu3661 I've got a jpeg of the notes. If you give me some way to send it to you, I'll do that

@@TomHammelMusic Thank you but I figured it out

Thanks! and by the way, I need to order one of your 8 string roller bridges, should i do that through your website?

@@TomHammelMusic Yes of course

@David Certano I did and it arrived a couple of days ago. I'm having someone here in Vancouver BC make me a custom 8 string lap with a custom 8 string bender from PetersGuitars. Will share it here when done

Thanks, Kevin! I'm using the Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb, love it.

@@TomHammelMusic I have a 70s twin with JBLs…still sounds good, but of course heavy.

Standard E9
