Thanks for this Paul. everyone else fails to simplify the use of the BC pedals, this is quite easy to understand, now to put it into practice. I've tried to figure out what some of the 'Big Name' instructors were saying and was only left more confused than I started. Do more videos Paul, you've got a fan here in Northern Ireland.
Great lesson. Truly, it is all based on music theory. Too many people just "play by ear" and they are good, but will never be as good as someone who is well-versed in music theory. Without music theory, you will always be trailing behind the rest of the crowd... learn it!
Your videos are so helpful, thank you for doing these. Also, its worth noting that the substitution for the F#dim is another Am. When you lower the E string, and play strings 3,4,5 on the first fret (or 13th) your notes are A,E,C respectively.
Kevin and RC: Thanks for the comments. I don't check for new comments very often so just noticed that you had posted. Playing pedal steel remains a lot of fun, so keep pickin. Paul
As a very beginner, where do I find instruction book for a single knee lever 10 string written in tab. L have a single knee lever 10 string MSA. Every steel player seem to have a 4 knee lever steel guitar.
Hello Deidar: I'd love to get in touch with your dad. He can contact me via the Steel Guitar Forum. He can send me a private message that way. If he's not on the forum he should join it.
Yes. That's what it means when I say I have the Day setup. Jimmy Day set up his floor pedals the opposite of Buddy Emmons. So from left to right as you sit at the steel my floor pedals are C, B, A.
+Paul Sutherland Your video said a standard set up? So which standard is the players preference /I was watching your knees and hence the question.. good teaching, good videos
The string pulls on my guitar are all standard. The Day setup is a standard setup with the exact same pulls as an Emmons setup guitar. The Emmons setup is more common, but both are standard. If you have an Emmons setup guitar there is no reason to switch to the Day setup. Just don't look at my knees.
Even a seasoned player can learn something new every time they sit behind their steel.. Thanks for all your vids.!

Thanks for the comments. This particular video seems to really have filled a need for many folks. I'm glad to help. Good luck. Paul
One of the most helpful pedal steel you tube lessons I've watched! Thank you so much!
Helpful videos. Great cameo by the wife
wow! 10 minutes of youtube.... an awakening for me! Thanks so much for sharing this. I spent so much time on the A+B pedals.... this is huge!
Thanks Joe. It's always a pleasure to play with such a rock solid bass player.

Paul is great player, had the pleasure of sharing many stages and band stands with him.
Goood lesson on BC pedals which were except for pulling off minors, was alien to me. Thanks for helping! Johnny Kealoha

my left knee lever left raises my e. are you backwards?
Yes. My floor pedals are the Day setup so I raise the Es on LKR. I lower the Es on RKR.
+psscjs are your a and c pedals reversed also
Yes. That's what it means when I say I have the Day setup. Jimmy Day set up his floor pedals the opposite of Buddy Emmons. So from left to right as you sit at the steel my floor pedals are C, B, A.
