Hi folks,
I know some people have posted some articles about achieving an Atkins style sound on the pedal steel.
But, I can't seem to find them with the forum search tool.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
much appreciated

Dang! That's cool! Sounds great.
I do a little Travis picking on my six strings, never tried it on my Pedal steel... |

Hi Bill,
That's just what I was looking for.
Is there any tab for this?
I play Windy and Warm on a six-string. But, how you do it on the steel has me scratching my head.
Once again, thanks for the reply.

Bobbe Seymour + youtube = what you are looking for (in spades).
FWIW, I've never seen or heard anyone do it better. |

Here's a Boom-Chica on S12U E9th.
I lower string 12 B>A on th A-pedal, and have all the E9th changes that exist on upper strings/pedals/levers pretty much duplicated on strings 6-12.
You can play alot of songs using this style.
