If you have geard one, I want to try and get a similar kind of sound from a regular guitar, using a slide.

Use pure steel strings, thick gauge, get some of those steel thumb and finger pics, and play with your EQ! mrgreen

I don't really need picks for it, I've seen loads of people play pedal steel with just their fingers on their picking hand.

Like i said, just use a steel bar. If you really think about it, that makes the biggest impact on the pedal steel sound.
