	Old Blue Bus: The Pedal Steel Guitar
		The pedal steel guitar is an evolution of the Hawaiian lap steel guitar.
		While many steel players adopted pedals or levers to change the tuning of their guitar quickly between songs, it was Bud Isaacs that first used the pedals to shift the pitch of the strings as he played.
		The pedal steel guitar is most often associated with the honky tonk country music of the late 1950s and began to fall from use in the 1970s.

	The Pedal Steel Guitar
		The pedal steel guitar is only distantly related to the more traditional Hawaiian steel, the big difference being the pedals.
		Like its Hawaiian cousin, the pedal steel is played (in part) by sliding a steel bar up and down the strings, but that's where all similarity ends.
		The pedals can work in the same direction as the bar movement or in the opposing direction, thus it is not only possible but quite common to raise the bar a whole step and have the pitch raise by 2 steps, or a step and a half, or stay the same, or even lower.

	Pedal steel guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The pedal steel was developed from the table steel guitar and lap steel guitar.
		The pedal steel guitar is the latest development in a story that started with the invention of the lap steel guitar, probably in Hawaii in the late 1800s.

	Steel guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steel guitar refers to a method of playing on a guitar held horizontally, with the strings uppermost and the bass strings towards the player, and using a type of slide called a steel above the fingerboard rather than fretting the strings with the fingers.
		Steel guitar technique also developed from bottleneck guitar, which is a similar technique to steel guitar but with the guitar held in the conventional position, and using a different form of slide to accommodate this playing position.
		The term steel guitar should not be confused with steel-strung guitar, which is a standard acoustic guitar that has steel rather than the nylon or cat-gut strings used for classical guitar, and is built with extra bracing, a stronger neck, and higher-geared machine heads to cater for the much higher tension of steel strings.

	Electric guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guitar virtuoso Steve Vai occasionally uses a triple-neck guitar; one neck is twelve string, one is six string and the third is a fretless six string.
		The popularity of the electric guitar began with the big band era because amplified instruments became necessary to compete with the loud volumes of the large brass sections common to jazz orchestras of the thirties and forties.
		An acoustic guitar's sound is largely dependent on the vibration of the guitar's body and the air within it; the sound of an electric guitar is largely dependent on a magnetically induced electrical signal, generated by the vibration of metal strings near sensitive pickups.

		Pedal Steel Guitar is most commonly thought of as a purely country instrument, and whilst it fills this role perfectly, it is worth noting that it also appears in many other musical genres.
