So well done! Great bends....

[@thebenderbunker]

Great bending ideas - thank you! Your love of guitar and music is obvious and inspiring. Keep it Cosmic and Keep it Bent!

Good video Daniel. Back in the late 70's I started learning these same steel bends from a book by 'Arlen Roth' called 'Nashville Guitar'. It came with a tear out 33-1/3 rpm record that had Arlen playing each lick for you to hear. That was a real treat back then as there were no Hot Licks videos or KZbin videos to learn from. These pedal steel licks served me well over my 35+ years professional playing career. I sometimes added a volume pedal for swells that really added that steel guitar esque sound. For all the new guys trying this technique, don't give up! As Daniel mentioned, your hands and fingers may be awkward and resist at first. But practice them about 15 minutes each day for a couple of weeks. You'll then find your hands and fingers will develop the strength and coordination to play these authentic steel licks with ease.

You just gave me hours of awesomeness to practice. Thanks for an inspiring session. Love that pedal steel sound, particularly in the Flying Burrito Brothers, with Sneaky Pete Kleinow.

[@aarondeeming7002]

outstanding Daniel,thank you so much

[@kennethbishop123]

Dood. I'm fanning out a bit. Awesome tone and Thanx for the triads tip. Know where my practice is going

[@ryanpatrick3772]

I would love to see a video of you and Chris Buck jamming together with a full band. Bet it would be face melting. Love the bends and the Dead vibes you’re going with, but Daniel.... you’re Dead to me💀⚡️🎸

[@HanmerMusic]

[@scottfaudree7201]

[@trevormekelburg3773]

This made a lot of sense thanks 🙏🏽 that’s is a classic sound right there!

[@cgarciaad]

Pedal steel bends are the best ✨🤠✨🌠

[@matthewtop]

3:29 why do those bends sound like the sun is coming up?

[@Jonathan-L]

Daniel Donato is the next big thing in the music world.

[@danieldonato]

yeeeeeehaw #COSMICCOUNTRY

[@simpsimpson5175]

Nice lesson

[@blazingben5223]

I would like to see what you could do with Clarence White's Stringbender.

[@chinarider2778]

Skynyrd's tune Curtis Lowe was in my head this whole video.

[@matthewcarducci1552]

I HAVE to know which specific gravity pick that is!

[@matthewcarducci1552]

Ps. I know you use chickenpicks now, but yeah

[@garmacintyre]

Sounds amazing. When you use the bridge pickup, where do you have your tone knob?

[@haydenwayne2547]

keep making these pls

[@galactictravels224]

Whats up with the surf box ?

[@cgarciaad]

A little of Compressor is a good partner of the pedal bends, no?

[@rolandoolivas6960]

The Bends

[@ps7365]

As I've gotten older I find that I have started having some minor pain in my hands while playing. Do you do any 'hand /finger stretching' prior to playing or is just playing enough? I would guess you are too young to have hand pain issues.

[@mauricedibert2635]

Ever use a b-bender?

[@nathanielvargas3863]

I bet that would be glorious to hear
