Sounds real good, you noticed I used Roman Numerals. You have to use Tablature to play a steel guitar and numbers are easy to remember

I first got six string 1956 multi Kord 4 pedal steel guitar
this is not a real pedal steel but a note bender they told me

I picked up a RONDO for $100.00 a few years back

Been playing Guitar since I was 12 I am good I think
I don't know if I have enough time left to be good at the lap steel i am 64 now

Man, I'd love to have that old multi Kord!

The Rondo looks great too.

You got time to get good at lap steel.     :icon_biggrin:

supro did you ever see this? It's a 3 lever palm bender for lap steels. I really want one.

I should have put it here, not in audio/video.      :dontknow:

Yes I did would like to try one some day

Look at the Steel Guitar Forum

The Multi Kord does the same thing only with your feet

you can get 7's, Dim, Aug just by hitting a pedal or two pedals like a 7 Dim

It all depends how you set the pedals

Very cool, someday I'll get a chance to get my hands on one, some fine day.
