Jam Cds for B bender/pedal steel

hotraman · July 3rd, 2008, 05:30 AM

I picked up Will Ray's Mojo blues jam cd to learn new B bender licks.
Props to his Bender DVD as well.
But I had no idea that the mojo blues jam cd would help me
learn how to play the pedal steel guitar!
I took the plunge and bought a used Rittenberry SD10 3x5.
I'm rediscovering the FBB all over again.
Now here's my question...
any good jam Cds that are not in the "traditional old school country music genre?"
I've been to the steel guitar forum and am looking for more rock/blues/folk style.
Thanks
Steve

I think you're smart to use jam CD's for learning on. That's the way I learned how to play, and I still use jam CD's to work out lick ideas on.

I'm working on putting together a new country type jam CD later this year.

OBS is recorded at 160 beats per minute for nearly 8 minutes, and I play to it about 3-4 times a week just to keep my chops up. It's a real workout because you have to throw out a lot of your so-called "fast licks" because they can't keep up.

It kinda forces you to make up new licks that can work at very fast tempos. It's a challenge, that's for sure.

"Repeat 50 times"? You're sick! Ha!
