The pedal steel guitar is a type of electric guitar that uses a metal bar to "fret" or shorten the length of the strings, rather than fingers on strings as with a conventional guitar. Unlike other types of steel guitar, it also uses pedals and knee levers to affect the pitch, hence the name "pedal" steel guitar. The word "steel" in the name comes from the metal tone bar, which is called a "steel", and which acts as a moveable fret, shortening the effective length of the string or strings being plucked as the player moves it up and down the neck with one hand. The instrument is horizontal with the strings face up, and is typically plucked with thumbpick and fingers or (two or three) fingerpicks. The pedals are mounted on a cross bar below the body and the knee levers extend from the bottom of the guitar's body and are used to stretch or slacken the strings and thus change the pitch in the process of the guitar being played; the action of the pedals may either be fixed, or may be configurable by the player to select which strings are affected by the pedals. The pedal steel, with its smooth portamenti, bending chords and complex riffs, is one of the most recognizable and characteristic instruments of American country music. | Translation - Serbian
Pedal steel je vrsta električne gitare koji koristi čeličnu valjkastu šipku na "pragu" odnosno za skraćivanje dužine žice, umesto prstiju na žicama kao kod konvencionalne gitare. Za razliku od drugih tipova steel gitara, ona takođe koristi pedale i poluge za kolena da utiču na teren, pa otuda naziv pedal steel gitara. Reč "čelik" u nazivu potiče od čelične valjkaste šipke, koji se zove "čelik", a koja deluje i kreće se pragovima vratova gitare, skraćuje efektivnu dužinu žice, izvodjač kreće gore i dole po pragovima vrata jednom rukom. Instrument je horizontalno položen sa žicama usmerenim licem na gore, i obično se svira sa trzalicama na palcu i prstima ili (dva ili tri) fingerpiks. Pedale su montirane na prečki ispod tela gitare i kolenskih poluga protežu od dna tela gitare i koriste se da se protegnu ili uspore žice i na taj način dovode do tonskih promena u procesu izvodjenja na gitari, pedale mogu biti fiksne, ili se može konfigurisati od muzičara da izaberete kojim žicama su pogođene pedale. Pedal steel gitara, sa svojim glatkim portamentima, savijanjem akorda i kompleksnih rifova, jedan je od najprepoznatljivijih i karakterističnih instrumenata američke kantri muzike. |
