Re: pedal steels



well, being a hard-core lap steel/lap guitar player -
never played a pedal steel - there's a cool trick that's
really easy: if you hold your steel with your thumb and
index-middle finger, it leaves your ring finger free to
grab a string and bend it behind the bar. you can do
a very passable single string bend that way.
