Went to hear a guitar player Friday night, he had a lead player that switched off with steel. I went up and talked to the guy and he told me he tuned his eight string, 5 knees,8 pedals like his Tele. Uses his pedals and knees to change his chords. The guitar was real prudy!Didn't say what the other two strings were tuned to.

| It really makes a good deal of sense if the guy wanted to play slide guitar better than you can on a guitar, without getting too immersed in the wierdness of pedal steel tunings. Steve Howe of Yes played his steel parts in open E, and there's been a lot of great slide played in standard guitar tuning. With that many pedals and knees he could get a lot of standard-sounding whole-tone steel bends too. As long as his playing sounds as prudy as his guitar looks, more power to him. |
