About The Site...

This site is a resource for learning and discovering more about pedal steel guitar. One of the most expressive, yet elusive instruments, it continues to captivate ears around the world on a daily basis. Pedal steel guitar is steeped in history, and simmers with potential.

Professional artists and musicians continue to seek its alluring, evocative sound for their records. However the instrument is hardly known by anyone, even though millions of people hear it daily on albums, radio, or in concert. Why is that? If the secret ingredient to a musical recipe is the pedal steel, it seems that most people enjoy the meal but don’t know exactly what makes it taste so good… It’s the pedal steel.

Sincerely,

Casey James
