Fantastic

[@drewdenicola7210]

I'm stunned. I didn't even know this was possible. We're not worthy!

[@FoolishPrankster]

Too bad JG isn't alive to hear your work, very good !

[@jdhaole7650]

Amazing talent! Thanks for sharing.

[@orionduckstein3116]

absolutely beautiful, man. dialed in tone, articulate & soulful bends, and so beautifully worked out. well done!

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you so much!

[@MichaelZola]

Holy cow. That tone. Those chords making six sings sing like a much wider guitar. You did an amazing job with the arrangement. Bravo, really appreciate you sharing.

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you Michael!!

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you Jeff!

[@colevanbalen7205]

thats wicked

[@tylerbrandon4781]

This is so clean omg

[@HermanoSolMusic]

I really love all the masterful work you do with the bendings! Could you please make a tutorial with all the ones you are using?? I always try to emulate the pedal steel with my guitar and your approach is the closest to the real sound! I would love to learn some of those you do and I am pausing the video but it is not enough, the song goes fast. Thank you man!

[@gr8fullfred]

I consider this video a tutorial ........................

[@HermanoSolMusic]

@@gr8fullfred it is, indeed, but I mean one focused on the bendings only.

[@Sebastian0Hz]

Matt is The Best!

[@KhalDrogo76]

WOW!

[@feltongailey8987]

Yep...won me!

[@dr.granolias753]

Holy crap dude

[@tylerbrandon4781]

God bless the grateful dead

[@gr8fullfred]

fantastic dude, I am going to copy everything I can from that, and hey, got Teles?

[@mattneko4225]

what's the tuning on this?

[@mattrae6706]

Standard tuning.

[@davidkellner8465]

Great technique you using a b-bender?

[@mattrae6706]

Thanks David. No benders, just bending with my fingers.

[@scott1775]

How do you get this tone?

[@mattrae6706]

I’m using a compressor and volume pedal.

[@leonardohenrique02]

Which scale is this?

[@zoomankat]

Blimey !. If there is a better interpreter of pedal steel guitar licks without the use of benders... I ain't heard them.

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you!!!

[@MarcoZambon606]

Incredible, fantástic, What gauge strings used , Matt? Congratulations, i never hear One guitar player simulating pedal steel like You.

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you Marco! I use 10’s.

[@justanotherrandomcrit8115]

You should do a lesson on your technique to get that pedal steel sound.

[@HermanoSolMusic]

That is terrific! Are you using a B bender??

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you. No benders, just using my fingers.

[@HermanoSolMusic]

@@mattrae6706 wow dude!!!! That is even more masterful!!

[@Earl00001]

This is great Matt! Just curious, did you keep that Morgan pr12?

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you! The Morgan is my friends and he decided to keep it.

[@jasonkasprick6370]

This is awesome! Would you mind sharing your guitar and amp settings? It looks and sounds like that you are playing out of the middle position on your guitar. What is your volume and tone control at? Thanks and I absolutely love petal steel riffs on the Tele!

[@mattrae6706]

Thanks Jason. I’m on the neck pick up, volume and tone all the way up. I’m using a volume pedal but only on some licks. Playing through a Dr. Z and using an analogman compressor. Hope that helps and feel free to ask questions anytime. I’m a full time online guitar instructor and specialize in this style!

[@jasonkasprick6370]

@@mattrae6706 Thank you so much for the response! I would have thought there was some bridge pickup twang in there! I will have to try the neck pick-up. I'm 48 years old and I have been playing guitar off and on from age 16 and I am getting back into now after finally understanding how the CAGED system works and being able to understand how chords are put together and soloing works up and down the fretboard. I have also discovered Clarence White and his work with the Byrds so I am obviously obsessed now with bending like a steel guitar. By the way, thank you so much for your "Teach Your Children Well" lesson. That is GOLDEN!

[@Swingtime-pn7gy]

@@mattrae6706 Neck pickup??? Is your selector reversed? Masterful playing!!! Trying to cop some of these licks!

[@mattrae6706]

@@Swingtime-pn7gy thank you! I’m on the bridge pickup. It’s hard to see but the selector on the treble side. I always play through my Analogman KOT to boost the mids and lows and a volume pedal to take off a little attack.

[@STSGuitar16]

That high harmonic at 1:32 though....great stuff. Is this a B or G bender tele or are you using some sort of pedal to get the pedal steel effect?

[@mattrae6706]

Thank you. I’m not using any benders and am using a volume pedal.

[@STSGuitar16]

@@mattrae6706 That's awesome, I'm definitely attempting to learn this on my tele later since there's no special equipment involved. Thanks for the reply brother

[@mattrae6706]

Awesome, have fun with it! I give Skype lessons if you have any questions. Thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed it.
