I like the demo by Larry L. better. Styles are more useful to me.
Yamaha has far and away the best Pedal Steel sound.

Yep the Pedal Steel on the Tyros4 is one and the same, and very well done.

I sometimes use it for "Sleepwalk".

They take about a minute or more to appear on mine. Seems to be slower now on iOS7 than it was before on iOS6.

Pedal steel works great in funk...



It's also very versatile for other genres when run through various kinds of effects...sounds really cool with a touch of distortion and delay...also really sweet run through one the Tyros4's several Leslie sims.

I also really enjoy Daniel Lanois's pedal steel work...some with Brian Eno, and, on his own albums. Very creative use of the instrument.

It's hardly "funk" but certainly not Country....more of a experimental nature...spacey kind of material.

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, and Steve Howe, from the band Yes, are also lap and pedal steel players.

It certainly is a sound that lends itself to all kinds of music.

George Harrison and Ringo Starr were big Country music fans, and Harrison hired the famous Nashville pedal steel player, Pete Drake to play a part in the production of Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" album.

Pete also produced a Country album for Ringo Starr.

So, ya never know....

Ian

Yep... I'm a huge Robert Randolph fan (seen him several times), and have had the pleasure of seeing Steve Howe and Yes tear up the lap steel.

But I have a feeling that Don and Gary didn't have those guys in mind!
