HELLO SEZ,
I enjoy your playing very much.
The Gershwins wrote so many great tunes.
Keep on posting these pop/jazz type tunes.

That's some of the sweetest sounding C6th I've ever heard. Great work, Sez - thank you!
And yes: that verse section is so often forsaken in favour of the bit we all know; I love all of the tune!

| How do you attain that tone? Is it a simple matter of rolling off highs? Amp used? Lovely stuff. |

| Sez, such lovely lush voicings. The integrity you keep in the melody is beautiful and refreshing. Really great pedal steel guitar playing! Thanks for posting. |

Thank you all for your very nice comments.
I appreciate them very much.
There were a couple of questions.
I am plugging straight into an applemac laptop (equipped with Logic software) via a sound card. My feeling is any decent sound card into any computer equipped with appropriate recording software will do a good job. Eg; Applemac with Logic software, or Garage Band; windows with Protools or Cubase. There are other software platforms that I am not aware of.
I use the built-in software to bring down the treble on the top strings. And I add a little chorus & delay. If anybody wants more detail on this, please pm me, and I will be happy to oblige. I use the parallel output on the volume pedal to take a second lead out to a little amp for monitoring purposes. I hardly use the volume pedal at all on C6th. For my ears, I don't think it has much relevance for the kinds of arrangements that I am playing.
Jim asked about the arrangements. I seem to have ended up with a non-standard pedal/ knee lever set-up. This through long hours of experimentation, and trial & error. My arrangements are all worked out with this in mind, and are not readily transferable to different set-ups. I have it on an excel spreadsheet, but don't seem to be able to post it on the forum. I am a bit of a techno-dinosauer. If anybody wants to volunteer to put it on the forum, I'll happily send you the spreadsheet.
Jim, I'll send you a couple of arrangements, and you can try them out on your set-up if you like. You can let me know how you go with adapting them to your own set-up.
I have a question. What is 'Red Solo Cup'? I am curious.
Many thanks to you all.
