The Steel Guitar is a unique instrument for many reasons, but primarily for its portamento capabilities. The portamento technique is performed when a musician plays one note and slides to another note sounding every pitch in between. Though some instruments like the piano cannot perform this maneuver at all, many instruments allow for portamento playing - the violin and the trombone for example. But the pedal steel guitar is perhaps the only instrument that allows full chords to played in this manner. This
The steel guitarist must use all limbs and all fingers to achieve the sliding sound. As a result, the steel guitar is not the easiest instrument to learn, but it is definitely one of the most rewarding. It is also incredibly addictive. The complexity of the instrument is a challenge. And its limitless possibilities can be unbelievably encouraging. Keep working at it and I'm sure you'll agree.
