| Anyone have one they don't use much? I only need it for the finishing touches on two YES songs right now. Actually hate having to buy something for such limited use but ya just have to have it if your trying to do justice to music like this.

Location: Phoenix AZ | You could probably get by with a lap steel.
Howe only used a real pedal steel on the 76 tour, and only on the song Awaken. Everything else is done on a straight double neck 6/8 slide. |

Location: Scotland | Pedal Steel guitars are expensive and incredibly difficult to play. If you don't already play pedal steel it would takes months before you could get anything useful out of it, especially in a recording situation. You'd be better off paying a local steel player to do the parts for you. |

| Found it..... Thanks.....Luckily The Fender Steve uses is actually a more resaonable model it seems. some of these pedal steels must be rare collector items or just extreamely well built as they are more than I can handle at $2,500 or so. I have a very limited need.
I'll email Dan. |

| Along Paul's line of thinking we have decided looking at an instrumentalist to fill a new position and a 6th member. We are doing a Jon Luc Ponty song and between that and the Jethro Tull, YES and the Floyd. We could use someone who has singing ability for backing high vocals to work with mine (as our drummer can't always do this because his parts are so complicated) and the ability to play Flute, Sax, Slide Guitar, and Violin.
Our lead guitarist already does the Tull flute stuff while I run through the chords for him, as he sounds just like Ian. but it would be good to free him up to only concentrate on all these crazy different lead guitar styles, and our own pieces.
If anyone knows of someone with this capability send him or her our way. Thanks
