Re: pedal steels + YES

Fair enough!  I was using the term pedal steel in some sort of flawed, 
broad
sense.  I trust your assessment since it's so specific :)

All I know is that I love Howe's ability to play in that overcrowded band,
and still *be Steve Howe*.  Really innovative playing, great melodic sense,
and eehhhhh, ya know, fairly decent chops.

Does anyone know if he's done any live looping?  I'd bet he's at least
experimented with looping, or at least long delay lines.  Especially with a
JamMan in his rack.

 Y'all are wrong, those are lap steels, not pedal steels..a Fender Twin 
Neck
and Quad Neck. Saw em up close..no pedals, and no place for them, just
planks of wood with strings attached. One neck tuned normal guitar, one
tuned to an open E.

Btw, He has a JamMan in his rack, though I never heard him loop with it.
