Steel Guitar 101
I just recently bought the steel guitar 101 lesson. I've really enjoyed it so far. I'm still working my way through the second page of licks, and it's surprising how quickly those tough bends improve.
My question is really about the theory of what makes a lick sound like a pedal steel. I had always thought it was all about the bend, but there are a few examples in the lesson that don't even use bends, but still sound like pedal steel. Is it the directional movement of the chords/double stops , playing sixths, the bends or a combination that makes a lick sound like pedal steel. Just wondering, because I think that can help me as I try to construct my own.
