The British Steelies Society

Buddy Emmons had a fabulous outro on this Willie Nelson song, I have made an instrumental out of it, and tried to capture a bit of Buddy's tone (easier said than done ), on my Marlen pedal steel

Forgive me for playing lead guitar for the first half, I wanted to put some steel fills in

Thanks Guys

I'm pleased with the recording, it turned out quite well

Now that I have found a pickup (GL E66) for the Marlen that I can get along with (the original single-coil had far too much hum) and have dialled in some eq in the amp settings to mitigate the humbuckers inherent 'middliness', I think that, for recording purposes, the Marlen is equal to my ZB.

The ZB spoils me, as it has such a light pedal and lever action, that, when I go back to the Marlen, there is a period of re-adjustment to its slightly heavier action.

But if I've got a gig coming up, then I've got to play either my Marlen or my Denley for a few days beforehand, as I don't gig with my ZB, it's too precious to me

Hi Richard,

It was great to meet up with you a couple of weeks ago. Once again you have produced the goods, what a fantastic rendition of a beautiful song plus a tone to die for. This is what we have now come to expect of you Richard when you sit behind your guitar. Well Done.

Thanks Richard,
It's always a pleasure to have you round and talk steel.

How was your Irish Steel Festival trip ?
