Some of those things are so complicated it's actually close to rocket science.
Saw a video recently where the pedal steel had something like 8 different levers - and some of them had dual functions/positions.

I'd need about 15 years to become somewhat decent on it. :embarrassed:

Would be rather fun to try out some Gilmour-style lapsteel though. And that looks a bit more sensible...:wink:

I love pedal steel, but yeah, looks way too hard. JHS’ latest vlog was with a pedal steel player and the pedals he uses. Not just your typical pedal steel licks here.

I really want one of these, but haven't been able to justify the expense. With the built in capo and palm levers you can get a lot of pedal steel sounds without taking 15 years to get it presentable.
