Hey all,

So I didn't know where to turn. This is not steel related, though I imagine a killer steel version could be done, can anyone help me out with the chords for this song? I've loved it for ye ...

I am not sure whose playing steel here live with one of my favorite bands with steel.

I know BJ Cole players some album tracks but who's here live? Anyone have any idea.

I think it all comes down to the music you're playing.the music I generally play has reverb and delay dialed to 11. And it sounds great in that type of music. Effects are just another technique, you h ...

Dan,

I've had a sliderig for about a year and a half now.

I've experimented with it a lot but really have only loved it with regular guitar. It may be the only effect I have that I don't care f ...

Once My wife gave me full control of the music played before our wedding, I gave our pianist three songs to learn. Two were wedding appropriate. The third was this. I chose it because, while the lyric ...

Man, I wish I could get my steel to sound like that with a Leslie.

Hey everyone,

About 5 years ago I had one of the plastic parts under my old maverick break. I had just gotten my shopro so I just boxed up the maverick and put it in storage.

I've used/still use a lot of od/distortion/fuzz boxes with my steel.

Things already mentioned here that I've used and loved are the Rat, King of Tone, and the Earth Drive.

The sampler velvet fuzz is real nice. I'm thinking about picking one up again.

I'm currently using the mojo hand iron bell. It sounds pretty great on the steel.

It was a fantastic show. Those guys can really play, I heard lots of people commenting afterward how they wished they could play one of those things.

Love that slide bass. Does it have pedals?

Have you ever listened to the band Morphine? The band was drums, baritone sax and the singer played slide bass. Easily one of the most unique and cool sou ...
