could you recommend a good handle to hold the bar? id like the bar where the puffy part of my hand would rest on the strings...stroke... so my fingers cant hold the bar normally. my neurologist recommended making some kind of handle to hold the tone bar.

Cool licks and simple but effective moves. It's the sound that makes it happen. Paul can do it all.

Nice stuff Paul! Enjoyed the time we jammed! Very tasteful!

Soooo gooood!

Paul PLEASE tell me what Volume Pedal do you use? Thanks Brother! Jeff Mercer

no clue how I missed part 2... thanks for bringing us along.

This video has helped me in a lot of ways because after six years away from the steel guitar, I decided to start playing it again, and because of cerebral palsy in my left hand, I wondered what size bar would work for me. I decided to change from stainless steel to polymer because with cerebral palsy in my left hand, the stainless steel bar would slide around, so I'm now using a polymer bar , and I find that the polymer bar works best for me. Paul Franklin is one of my musical heroes and this video is very inspiring!

You could replace the organ at all the Pro Baseball games!😂

I have this pedal. What makes it so versatile is the wet - dry mix. All 9 settings are very usable.

Loving these demos! Has Paul tried the SYNTH9 pedal? Very curious to hear how it sounds with pedal steel.

3:07 Oh my god

Awesome and who would have thought that the Mel 9 could be triggered by a steel guitar?!

Great demo and lovely playing, sir! 👌😎👍 I know this probably just comes down to semantics, but my understanding of why the Mel9, and other similar pedals from Electro Harmonix, "tracks" so well is because it doesn't have to track pitch at all? I believe the magic is done with a combination of series and parallel processing done on the input signal like EQs, resonators, harmonizers, delays, wave shapers, etc. etc. so there is no delay or flakiness with a processor trying to detect and track pitch to then synthesize new sounds. That's why chords are handled so well?

Very nice. Sir!

Anybody knows who is the brand of this volume pedal ,I want it ! ;))) or some similar

The flutes remind me of some old movie but I can't think of which one.

Thank you!

I have the bass9 and key9. I play guitar and the 9 series are really cool. What you're doing is awesome. I guess I'll like and subscribe. Thanks. 😎🤓

Wow C-6 is so beautiful; natural for jazz

Way more versatile than a real melotron.

Paul… what kind of Volume Pedal are you using? Is it a Franklin maybe one your poppa made?

I ain't taking lessons, but I sure love Ralph Mooney, AND Paul Franklin. R. I. P. Ralph Mooney Waylon 🎸🇨🇱Jennings Wynn Stewart Buck🎸🇨🇱Owens Merle🎸🎻Haggard

We are so blessed to have this. The history, the technique, ......awesome!

I teared up and get goosebumps down my arms when I hear this

Consider this: the faster you play, the less you say.

Pay it forward.. i remember when you played with Phil Baugh at the Hall of Fame ..fun times for sure.

This is the greatest conversation that I have ever listen too. It’s so from the heart it make feel you are their with them

He is a great player and a good person

Lloyd Green is the greatest pedal steel guitar player in the world 🌍 even Paul Franklin I just Lloyd Green 💚 would have made a DVD set on everything he knows on the pedal steel guitar what a treasure that would be even Paul Franklin what a treasure that would be a Christmas gift for both of them 2 legend pedal steel incredible guys we love them both

Tritone substitutions for the 6major and dominate.

Loyd talkin the early yrs as he carved his niche. The background required to accomplish just a bit of this seems overwhelming to a dabbler. But I'll keep at it and try not to remain intimidated.

Wonderful and fulfilling. I started a topic in a Facebook pedal steel group about the forgotten instrument. It’s so true Paul and Loyd, who’s going to fill your shoes. Being a pedal steel player for almost forty years I’m concerned. There’s know room in today’s country music for this beautiful instrument or machine as the late great Jeff Newman called it. Yes! Keep these interviews going. Very inspirational. Thank you.

Sweet riff.. great tone

This is alchemy! Turning steel into gold!

I’d sure like to see if that red light is shining on that twin and see if he’s running his guitar through it.

I've been doing a whole tone. Like your describing here for about 30 years.. It was really cool to see you play It.. Not knowing that you played it like that.. I've got a couple different ways to do it.. This is a fun little video I'm surprised I missed it

Wonderful stuff. I miss playing steel so much but I’ll be back in the saddle as soon as I’m able to. This album was just amazing. I fell in love from the first intro, the first note Paul played. Yeah I never knew he did sweet memories at all.

Hi Paul, great show! Just discovered it, - had the pleasure of seeing you playing in Manchester, England with M Knoffler, Steve Phillips etc and The Nottingham HillBillies tour - great stuff! Thanks, Gus a new sub from England.

This is why Paul Franklin is one of my all time favorite steel players. He also does this fall away thing that reminds me of something John Hughey would do. Just incredible!

what vocoder is russ using

🤩

Is there an actual course where he teaches nonpedal C6? That would be awesome!

I'm sure I'm missing something. But shouldn't the tab at 1:49 be 8s instead of 10s for it to be a C chord?

‘’Meant to be shared”…..says a lot about the man beyond his musical genius.

Just listened to Simple Dream album and had to listen to Blue Bayou multiple times just for the pedal steel solo!

Two absolute legends generously sharing some of their vast knowledge of various techniques on the steel. They both seem like genuinely warm and friendly guys just having some fun! How I miss my old Sho- Bud Pro1.

Brilliant! Paul’s knowledge of pedal steel guitar is still unmatched ! Beautiful! Bravo sir!

Two of the absolute masters of the steel guitar and it doesn't feel like false modesty in the least. At the top of their game and as humble as can be. I'm so glad Paul has done this rare interview with Lloyd Green.

3:44 That thumbs-up from Russ Pahl.
