Mateo, so does that disqualify Jules ah See, Billy Hew Len and all of the Hawaii Calls broadcasts and recordings from the late 50's and 60's era. Because most of the recordings made in Hawaii at that time had players using pedals, not in the way they do in Country music, but in a specific Hawaiian way, the style I still play to this day, as per Click me to play

Does your Pedal Playing disqualify you from sounding Hawaiian, I don't know, but I do know that the use of 'chromatic strings' and the 10 string E9th tuning would make it VERY difficult to sound 'Authentic' that's why I play 8 string tunings.

Steelies do it without fretting !
