[@sillennium]

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

One of the best Pedal Steel Solos of all time, played by EAR playing the exact emotion and detail of the original. When he started playing the solo you could hear a pin drop in that little room!!!

[@WildPhotoShooter]

Slide guitar is not quite the correct name for a Pedal Steel Guitar. It's like saying to a golfer what kind of bats do you use?

[@sillennium]

Yep
