Steel guitar captivated many high profile rock guitarists in the 70’s, notably Jimmy Page and David Gilmour.
The most iconic example of a ‘rock god’ playing steel however, was Jerry Garcia’s guest spot on “Teach Your Children” by CSNY.
This short intro may just be the most influential pedal steel moment ever in mainstream popular music.

Just before the holidays we (Adam & Stew) got together with the drum machine and played a quick version of ‘Every Day Infinite’ from the (still rather) new Duke of Norfolk album, Camera.
If you happen to live in Paris, we’re playing a set together opening for the mysterious John Chablis at La Pointe Lafayette ce lundi (19 Janvier @ 20h30 !). It’s going to be a grand time and we’re going to mix at least one country song into the set of Duke of Norfolk tunes… on espère vous voir lundi !

Here’s a walkthrough of a solo in E so you can hear how familiar musical concepts translate to pedal steel!

The intro to “Hickory Wind”
With its overtly country style and temporary addition of Gram Parsons, the Byrds’ 6th album introduced generations of listeners to the pedal steel guitar.
Featuring both JayDee Maness and Lloyd Green on steel, Sweetheart of the Rodeo had a huge influence on the then burgeoning genre of country rock!

I’ve always found this DeWitt Scott tune super fun to play - he was one of the all time steel guitar greats!

Managed to get one decent shot of Jonas Vingegaard (yellow jersey) on his way to winning a second Tour de France yesterday as they passed through our neighborhood
They were absolutely flying up this incline that I usually slog up in my lowest gear 😆

My best friend Leroy came with me to hundreds of studio sessions during his 15 years, and only ever ruined one take ~
He's been gone for over five years now but I'll miss him always 😢
