"liquid air" off "below zero")? how can i get this type of singing vowely quality? do i have to use a pedal steel or could i use any other guitar for that type of sound? stupid question, but i am no guitar player inthe traditional sense of the word... any recommendations as far as stompboxes are concerned for this kind of application? stephen. > well, being a hard-core lap steel/lap guitar player - > never played a pedal steel - there's a cool trick that's > really easy: if you hold your steel with your thumb and > index-middle finger, it leaves your ring finger free to > grab a string and bend it behind the bar. you can do > a very passable single string bend that way. > best > bruce > > On Saturday, July 10, 2004, at 07:00 AM, L.
