that part ya did about the thumb blocking is critical for any beginner. Thanks a ton for breaking it down into a learnable piece of what to me is the most difficult part of sounding like you know what your doing.
I have to say, I've followed you and your 'samples' for awhile now and since I bought this beautiful Lamar Colvin D10 (8+5) pedal steel, I decided to give this lesson a try. I was easily able to follow your sample and hope to get this to flow as well. Thank you for your help here and on the "Pedal Steel Forum" I have no experience in guitar in general so I have no bad habits to 'unlearn'. LoL Just this Christmas UPS lost my Fender Steel King amp so now I'm playing thru an old Fender Frontman until I can get another one...which is almost impossible to find. Hope to continue and play as well as you do. Thank you my friend. (I originally was learning a few licks from your vids on my 10 string Lap Steel just so you know. before I decided to just spend the bucks and go big. lol)
Hello there! How would you compare this instrument to the Hudson pedal? This one feels more "contemporary"...maybe the metal neck gives more sustain? I want to buy a Hudson and want to understand more how it sits amongs other brands. Of course, budget rules everything(
Hi Troy. Great lesson. I am having trouble rolling from my b pedal down to incorporating the a pedal down. With an Emmons pedal set up, I find the roll to either feel awkward or I engage a left knee lever in the process of rolling to a pedal. How do you set your a and b pedals setup? Same height? Any pointers would be appreciated.
+Guit7Jazz Hi Guit7 - I don't know if you ever got an answer to this. In my experience i have found if you set you b pedal height to be just a little lower than your A and C pedals, so it is INdented (not to much, just a little over a 1/4 inch maybe, it is a more natural roll, and will help with your knee lever problem.
Great lesson! I think the count in is a bit messed up, Troy! You start on 3 1/2. Just count "1 and 2 and 3 and" to start on the last "and" and everything is fine :-)
EXCELLENT!!! Split screen for the right hand left hand and shot of pedals!!!!!! I will be watching, Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

Getting your 5 chord in the 3rd position using B pedal and (D) knee lever.
Come in on the upbeat on the 8 string aka 4chord @ 3pos.
This is great, very similar to the start of “Down Here” by the Turnpike Troubadours!
Thanks for your video 🥰
great sounding steel guitar.
Beautiful sound, what's the name of the beginning tune?
