When You Wish Upon a Star

Graham Griffith plays "When You Wish Upon a Star".
I'm playing Zane Beck's E13th tuning on my Anapeg S-12 pedal steel made by Noel Anstead From Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Too pretty a melody to bother with an improvisation.

Perfect for sitting on the porch sipping whiskey and watching the sun go down

Not a bad effect imo!

Thank you, Rick. Much appreciated

Nice job. Haven't seen these pedal steels in the States at any steel shows. Sounds great. Is that a U12 with the universal tuning?

[@hoola100]

Thanks. Al Perkins has & Tom Brumley (had) Anapegs. A few other USA players as well. Made in Brisbane Australia but Noel Anstead has retired. Winnie Winston reviewed them way back giving them a “Rolls Royce” rating. The S12 tuning is Zane Beck’s which is essentially a universal tuning based on E13th strung low to high B E G# B D F# G# B C# E F# G#. One lever raises the D to E & the C# to D#. The B to C# raise also raises the C# to D … a very economical universal approach.

Lovely Graham. Those pedal and levers always get me inspired. So much music available and all harmonies appear possible. A great job, beautifully played! Also a fantastic song. Mike

[@hoola100]

Thanks Mike. I really appreciate your feedback. This was sitting on my desktop from about two years ago. I discovered it while cleaning up the files. I’ll have to do more 😀.

[@steelinatune]

You've inspired me Graham ... I did this several years ago on E9th, but now am trying to work it out on C6th ,,, thanks for the inspiration :)

[@hoola100]

@@steelinatune I’m subscribed to your channel and happy that you like what I did. I’ll have to check out your E9th version.

[@hoola100]

I just checked out your E9th version & it’s fabulous. That’s the beauty of different minds & interpretation. Thank you!

[@steelinatune]

@@hoola100 Thank you Graham ... I agree ... its interesting how even hearing one note in a context not generally heard ends up turning into something else by how someone else interprets it.

[@steelinatune]

@@hoola100 and I yours Graham… thank you

[@jimwebb8003]

Wow! Graham that's beautiful. I have worked on that tune for a while. Never got it that good.

[@hoola100]

@@jimwebb8003 Thanks Jim. That’s a great compliment. It seems to sit on that tuning nicely. I love playing ballads.

[@orbodman]

That doesn't sound like E9. What tuning you using, Graham?

[@hoola100]

@@orbodman it’s Zane Beck’s tuning - essentially an E13th S12 universal tuning, playing I suppose in B6th mode.

[@cranque__7737]

Needs some crazy long delay, great playing

[@hoola100]

@@cranque__7737 I reckon a wetter sound might’ve enhanced it. Thanks for the compliment.
