I love pedal steel country guitar licks! I adore the sound of the technique and get a kick out of busting out pedal steel-esq passages on live shows.

As far as bending licks go, the one in the video below is quite advanced. It’s likely to take quite a bit of practice to maintain the held bend’s pitch while fretting notes on the higher strings. Stick at it and hopefully you’ll get addicted to the sound like I have…enjoy!
Here’s the lick written down:
