Pedal Steel sound by Brett Garsed

[Brett Garsed]

Hi everyone,
I'll be releasing a comprehensive book/video on "Slide Guitar In Standard Tuning" later in the year with Guitar Vivo so I thought I'd post a sneak preview on social media. There'll be a section on imitating (or stealing!) ideas from pedal steel players and this will be the demo solo I'll include along with the instructional stuff. All Axe FX III as usual. Cheers, Brett.

Absolutely wonderful playing, man. I love the sound of pedal steel.

Nice!...are you using a volume pedal?

 

[JOHNNYROCKIT]

WOW... Just wow!

 

[Brett Garsed]

Yes.

 

[skolacki]

Damn that is nuts!! Wow.

 

[bebaldwin]

That's killer. If I hadn't seen it I would have thought it was a pedal steel.

 

[Rumbletone]

Wow - that is impressive - I can’t recall seeing anyone do slants like that with a slide on a 6-string, not to mention the ‘behind-the-bar’ bends! What tuning are you using?

 

[hfam]

THAT is a fiiiine collection of polished techniques!! Geez brother, that was singing and smooth and crisp and clear and dead accurate, just flawless and beautiful, indistinguishable from an actual pedal steel...ANY pedal steel.

I will definitely be looking forward to your full course, please do announce the release here on the forum! Aside from the supernatural skills exhibit, some of that magic above is certainly from the AFX III and I'm hoping that, at least with regard to this piece of the course, a good deal of the Axe III configuration is gone over as I'd love to learn that as well as how you used it to achieve those brilliant results.

I'm stoked about the "on standard 6 string" piece, as for decades I play slide mostly on various open tunings, and mostly delta blues and Warren Haynes stuff. A good course focused on standard tuning is something I'm all in for.

Thanks for posting, wonderful across the board. Don't forget to let us know when your course is available, I'm in!

His post says standard tuning

 

[touch33]

That's just sick! Amazing technique you have there, Sir.

I see someone already beat me to a reply here! But yeah, everything is in standard tuning.

Thank you! All I used was Tremolo Lux preset with whatever the standard cabs are and the analogue sustainer compressor with a lot of sustain. I also added a really long reverb (I did this in Logic so I had control over it) as it gives the simulation of sustain that actual pedal steel players have. They can hold chords and change the tuning of them while they sustain them due to all the pedals and levers so I have to cheat with reverb to create that illusion.

Could you attach a modifier to the reverb hold/stack triggered by gain/volume to do this as well?

 

[Moke]

You Sir, have taken this to an uncomfortable level. LOL

WOW!
