pedal steel guitar

the winters are long and cold in yyc - hence the psg - but of a time sink this one - but good fun. crops up all over the place musically does the psg - and for a 'western town' you would think there would be more of a community for players in yyc - not so! Had to go to yrm to buy the second hand amp....

for those interested - this is a double neck - 10 string, 3+5, 5 lever Carter. with a normal guitar, you can vary the tuning of strings by pressing on frets therefore raising or lowering strings by a full or half tone. Not so the psg - step on pedals or push levers to raise or lower strings - a bit piano-like (and weighs a good part of it too...)

anyway - as I said - long dark (cold) (snowy) winters here in yyc.... here's to 5 days in May...
