PG met with Robert Randolph, undisputed jam king of the pedal steel before his recent Nashville gig at 3rd and Lindsley. Randolph proved there is no end to what one can do with a pedal steel.
Robert Randolph spends most of his time on his Mullen G2 Custom 12-string single-neck pedal steel that’s tuned (low to high) B-E-G#-B-E-E-G#-B-D-E-G#-F# and strung with .072-.060-.054-.046-.032-.030-.024-.020-.028-.015-.012-.015 gauged strings. He also keep a second Mullen G2 around that’s tuned a half step lower.
When he wants to stand up, Randolph plays this Jackson G7 Custom 7-string pedal steel. The Jackson is tuned (low to high) D-A-D-F#-A-D-D and strung with .060-.046-.032-.026p-.021p-.017-.015 gauged strings. All strings are custom made especially for Robert by the DR String Company.

John deserves a medal for this. Robert made this VERY difficult and John still managed to get it done. In his defense, Robert did seem to do a bit better by the end. Major kudos to John on this one.

@electricladdyland 3 года назад

Probably not in the mood, a little road fried, focused on other stuff, but he has to do it, cuz John flew out there...

JB was in way over his head with this crazy dude but did a sensational job of keeping him on track whist maintaining decorum. Sometimes the best part of rig rundown videos is watching JB ride these broncos!!

Man, that stand up pedal steel must be the most vocal sounding I've ever heard. I'm sure a lot of it is his technique, but damn!

The dude dropped his Peavey signature PowerSlide lap steel like a hot potato. It wasn't even out for a year.

@Ianfrost83 3 года назад

i love how much he jammed on this. he rocks

@hamrepair3815 5 лет назад

I saw Robert play at a blues festival in Allen, TX a few years back. Let me tell you, he put his whole heart and soul into that performance and when he was done, the house was a-rockin.

@Fi1618033988 7 лет назад

Longest intro jam ever on PG, loved the R.R. though. Thanks PG.

@davetighe 5 лет назад

Needs some space on the pedal board for the Ego boost pedal, cos I think he's forgotten to turn it off.

@lealoop 2 года назад

Maybe an EHX Superego+ would do it? ;-) I'm sure he would smirk about it. - Besides, it's an amazing pedal which could broaden his sonic palette.

@yobhsiFehT 7 лет назад

Hey, remember back to the first Crossroads when he was humble and down-to-earth? =| His playing's only gotten better, tho, I'd say. Maybe he'll come back down to earth and bring his skills with him one of these days.

Melobar is a registered trademark of the Smith Family...Asher's been cool about respecting the Melobar name, which we appreciate, so it's not a "Melobar", it's an Asher. Melobar V's of course can be played all the way up to the bridge...if you want to :) Love you're playing though Robert, keep showing the world what Steel can do!!

Stressed me out so bad.Couldn’t wait for it to end.

@chumleyshaver7942 5 лет назад

Robert would much rather do most of his talking through the pedal steel

@peterwelsh1932 4 года назад

Yes. People hating on his “attitude” . F-off, you don’t know what’s going on over there. He’s a bad ass guitarist not a Washington Outsider

@kotsi42 6 лет назад

His playing is truly unbelievable. I'm fully aware it sounds amazing as is, but I'd like to hear him play it with the "traditional" pedal steel sound. I think that'd would sound really incredible with his level of talent. Super badass with the effects though. And is 100% on coke...

@willudallmusic 7 лет назад

I'd actually rather the rig rundowns had more playing to demonstrate the sounds... only half way through, but i'm digging it so far, RR is a ridiculous player!

@jimbeaux4988 4 года назад

@rodneyshuffler5810 11 месяцев назад

RR's comment about bluegrass was hilarious, he's apparently never been around any bluegrass players. It's usually medium or heavy gauge strings and picks that are so stiff they don't bend at all.

@1ido9not8exist6 7 лет назад

I was a fan of both of them. Now I'm a bigger JB fan. Also, this convinced me not to buy tickets to RR's Sweetwater show tonight. I can't support a guy who is rude to his tech and ungrateful for his success and endorsements. Very disappointing. Great work John!!

@jjrobiso 7 лет назад

To all those that did the video, for the love of God put in the video what he's doing with his feet and knees! That's just as amazing as moving a slide around.

@hankbuckwalter6424 6 лет назад

Really like RR but it's funny b/c the interviewer is over his head. Universal 12 tuning isn't some strange alien tuning (and there can be little variations) and leg-mounted controls for PSG is not new (quilter for example)

@theywantuniquebodies 7 лет назад

I don't listen to enough pedal steel. Some of the human sounding vocal lines are chilling. Also not really sensing the big ego thing others have said. He just seems like a fun, talkative guy who likes to jab you and mess around. It can be a little abrasive though, sure.

@Diax1324 7 лет назад

@niceguy2171 7 лет назад

You can say that again! He was pretty clear in 2011 at least. Was surprised he didn't run back and 'get right' less than halfway through it! Brilliant player though.

@KBP4 7 лет назад

This is gonna be a rare one if it get taken down I'm gonna download it to save .. Either RR has a Coke habit or had way too many espressos.

@aquabot 7 лет назад

This guy can keep on sniffing as much coke as he wants, as long as he keeps on making that lap steel sing as he did at 7:13.

@hankbuckwalter6424 6 лет назад

it's actually a stand-up PSG (note the pushrods)

@ao6536 7 лет назад

Does anyone know who I could listen to that sounds like him around 715. And side note. Dude was just having fun and playing and I thought it was awesome everyone is too up tight. It sounds so awesome but I don't really like to listen to his songs. This was the bestrig rundown ever

This was nothing more than - I have no info to pass along, hear me play, listen to my cool BS and let me sell you something. Too bad for him. He didn't understand that Bohlinger could make him look good instead he chose to go with the giant ego, jive crap.

@obscurebandfan 7 лет назад

In the earlier rig rundown he came off as really humble and down to earth.

@theguitarczar 7 лет назад

I thought I remembered seeing a RR before where he was chill. This must have just been one of those days he didn't feel like talking gear. I could see where too much of that would get old quick.

@Docsjeff 11 месяцев назад

I feel the same.I started checking him out when I got my steel in 2015.He’s a LOT diff now….wouldn’t say for the better on the persons end,but can still play his ass off. I bet the sound guy is wearing RR’s slider smoothe out during a show.
