Ratings and Reviews
Good notes and chords for a C6 lap steel
Just what I wanted to find my way around a new c6 lap steel. Simple and easy to see.
Superb and Unique
A fantastic way to come to grips with a ten-string crazy-tuning-plus-pedals-and-levers instrument...
Use this all the time...
I use this app all the time. It is a fabulous tool for pedal steel players. I did have a couple of minor problems though. I could find no way to adjust the volume of SteelSidekick's internal sound. On my device this is just too damn loud in relation to other apps which makes it problematic to switch back and forward from another audio app, say Spotify, to figure out a chord inversion or a lick. Trivial, but annoying.
The facility to set up one's own copendant is fantastic and looks straight-forward enough but setting the pedals seemed a little buggy to me in practice. Maybe just user error but be prepared for that to take a couple of attempts to get right. Once your copendant is set up and saved though, you don't need to worry about it again.
