Any videos about nonpedal volume pedal usage?

Post by Pete Martin »

I'm looking at a lot of videos of how players use their volume pedals. I'm seeing a number, but they are almost all pedal steel. I'm looking for lap and non pedal console players (especially Western Swing) playing where you can see the volume pedal.

Here are two of Eddie Rivers.

If you know of others where you can see the volume pedal while they are playing, let me know. Thanks much!

Here’s Kevin Glendon on a Facebook video (I hope it’s visible) … you can’t see his foot but you can see his knee moving … he does an excellent job on the VP 🤠

I started out on lap steel and used a foot volume control.
When I went to pedal steel I used the foot volume the same way.
