How to I make a guitar effect that sounds like a steel string guitar?

Question

Ok I know how to play "daughters" but John Mayer but the beginning part where the steel string guitar plays is awesome and I cant find any effects on my guitar effects that sounds like it.

Btw, I dont even know how to make my own effects..

If this helps at all I have Digitech RP80 guitar effects.

Answer 1

The steel guitar effect is done with a bottleneck or guitar slide (metal or glass) that you slip in your ring or pinky finger. This way, you can still play a riff with the other fingers and use the slide over the string which gives it the exact sound of a steel guitar.

That's what he is using in that lead part.
