When I was young I like rock music and country music sounded crazy but being a bit older it's actually really cool and there are some well chilled heads hidden out in the sticks of the USA....

[@chielichiel]

I did enjoy it, many thanks!

[@johnchilds3319]

Thanks Chris, I have played Rock guitar for 40 years and have just started my journey into understanding Country guitar. Your lesson was fun and Helpful.

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

So great to hear John! Enjoy it, it’s a fun journey and a great genre! 👌🏻

[@TrailBlazer5280]

This is a great lesson and it sounds excellent. Really captures that distinct sound of the lap steel

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Another amazing video Chris, I love country and have built up a plethora of these "steel bends" ill share some with ya if ya like ;) always drooling over a b bender and trying (and failing) to do it without one like Johnny Hiland! Duke Levine is the man!! my fav record is definitely Country Soul Guitar. good work mate! keep em coming.

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Hey dude! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏻

[@JarridHolscher]

Great lesson Chris. The sound you’re getting immediately makes me think of Randy Travis! Great stuff...and yes, country is awesome! Brad Paisley is one of my all time favs 👍

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Ah that’s awesome to hear man! Thank you! Brad Paisley is a monster player! 🤩

[@blackfishgaming7145]

Simple and well explained. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Thanks for watching man 👍🏻

Great video mate! Technique is very important but equally important is the tone. What reverb pedal along with the type of reverb are you using and amp to get that beautiful sound?

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Thank you man! If I remember rightly it was probably a Fender blues junior and a Strymon Flint reverb! My favourite reverb pedal ever 👌🏻

question: Ernie ball sells 10 string steel pedal strings. afaik the scale is not so different (24 inches), would those strings fit a "normal guitar" (choosing either the top 6 or any combination?) the gauges go from 10 to 38 🤔 i am just wondering

[@Texas1836Band]

Hey dude, turn your guitar to the camera. It’s difficult to see what you’re doing in conjunction with your description. However, I like the lesson and look forward to it

[@Country1974]

I play very basic country rhythm but want to get good at country guitar can you help

[@chriscassidy434]

Don’t forget the volume swell chris

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

A great point! 👍🏻

[@petdoe8938]

Would be nice to have seen the fretboard from a better view , cheers

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Thanks! Appreciate your feedback! 🙏🏻

[@nadorn3999]

Quick question what’s giving the tone of the guitar in this vid??

[@swabee4843]

Great lesson but please get a better camera angle on that left hand close up. Hard to see what you're doing

[@markdtv]

Good explanations, but not a great camera angle for seeing your finger positions on the fretboard.

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Thanks Mark! Appreciate the feedback, definitely something I’ve kept in mind for more recent videos 🙏🏻☺️

[@crdudley]

You might point the camera directly at your frets for us noobs, but thanks for the lesson.

What about open tunings and slides? Those are key in the pedal steel sound. Maybe if people want to sound like a pedal steel without investing in the whole kit, they should look into lap steel. Richard Thompson does a passable impression of a pedal steel on his cover of Hank Williams's "Why Don't You Love Me?" using a Strat I think, but generally country lead guitar and pedal steel don't sound like each other.

[@Gerry-cg6kr]

Get a sound image. Pedal steel guitar vol.2 pedal effect.

[@elwrongo]

good tips but the view of the fretboard is not good, can't see what you're doing, too angled
