an improv with the ol pedal steel, with loads of fx. Spent a lot of time trying to get the noise off this track, but had limited success.

Thanks Chris. The pedals lower the pitch on the strings, like a tremolo bar on a conventional guitar, but one string at a time, not all. Mine is a 6 string with 4 pedals.

You're right SS, I thought of whales too, may have to retitle it now! @Joe: I think it's C6 tuning, which is standard ps tuning, I could be wrong. As some of you know my BL stuff is heavily inspired by Susan Alcorn, and esp. this piece. Look her up on YT and elsewhere, she's incredible.
