I’m persuaded for sure! I would love ❤️ to learn this beautiful old tune the William way!

Gorgeous song and your arrangement makes it alive for sure! Your comment about the “declining” popularity of the pedal steel, William, is SAD 😞, but unfortunately true. PS is not for the faint of heart or for someone who does NOT like to spend the hours of required practicing. I think the big...

Great song William!!! Looking forward to learning that one week after next. Also, would make a perfect song for some of the newer steel players that may be checking out your web site. (By The Way: nice shirt!!!

Great Song! William has provided to me, and I bet for others, the CONFIDENCE needed to be able to play this instrument without going completely insane while trying to learn on it. I’m “confident” that all of us can learn to play Tie A Yellow Ribbon—-I’m also confident that there is absolut...

ALL of these old sacred and spiritual hymns are beautiful and are brought to life with William sitting behind the pedal Steel-this one especially! I firmly believe that William’s name would have appeared somewhere in the book of Psalms if he and the steel had been around back then.

Lots of renditions of Silver Wings on pedal steel across the Internet. There are NONE out their any prettier than the arrangement William has put together for us on STEEL-IN Techniques............ Really encourage all pedal steel players (at any playing level) to take advantage of William’s weekly...

Beautiful as usual. William gets the very best and the most beautiful sound out of each and every string he touches. Just amazing. In part, his skill set for sure but also in how he arranges the songs. That’s a gift! William prevented me from making a huge mistake. Purchased an old BMI pedal steel...

Wow! That’s another beauty. It just keeps getting better and better. I did NOT say easier and easier—just better better. Actually these Technique Exercises are a tremendous help in learning new material. These TE’s eventually show up one way or another in William’s song lessons.

Ahhhh! Well Said, George. That makes me want to sign up again.

If you own a Pedal Steel, two things are for sure: (1). You've made a substantial investment (2). You are serious about learning to play. Now, to seal the deal that will give you a lifetime of pleasure and the sense of accomplishment and self-confidence, take the time to look at William's website. L...

Loving these CORD Technique Exercises this week! This PS is like a huge puzzle. Every piece of what we learn in these weekly lessons will show up in something we play, sooner or later. There is absolutely NO way I could ever get close to learning this thing without William's lessons! Liking it man, ...

YEAH! Cord Study--This is going to be Great Stuff!
Hopefully, I won't get embarrassed anymore. Few of the guys I play with ask me, "hey Gary! What cord you in?" I generally say, "beats me-I have no idea." Thanks William!

Oh Yeah! The one and only George Jones! Arrangement beautifully done. Every single song of yours, William, has at least one or more of the "steel technique" lessons in them.
I see how vital it is to learn these techniques.

Ahhhhhhh------That one gets the GOLD!

Move that one high up on your list, William. Reminds me of my honkytaunk drinking days.
Although I'm a recovering alcoholic, I still want to learn this beauty. Played well by ya, William!

Another Awesome telecast lesson! All of these technique exercise are incorporated one way or another in each song we learn. Cannot express enough just how valuable that is. I want to thank William for acknowledging my birthday yesterday. The wife forgot all about it. That's ok. Loving the Hawaiian S...

Thanks RK....I knew that but I panicked ( happens sometimes when I try to play these exercises) and I go brain dead. I'll remember this next time. William always provides a way for his steel followers to access all the materials he provides to us. Happy Friday All!

Ya' all--it's probably me. I wasn't able to connect to William's last Saturday broadcast. Well, I sorta connected. It said will play in a moment but never did. Anyone else?
Thanks/Gary

Yes Sir Re! Beautiful........The 26th (Friday) is my birthday. I'll play this one for the wife!

I'm not a good organizer, says the wife about me. However, I do try to do a better job when it comes to organizing the Sat. Broadcast Lessons each eeek. I've been placing the materials in plastic binder sheets that go in my music notebooks. That being said, I've noticed the amount of materials that ...

Last Saturday's workshop was pretty special I thought. A touch of pedal steel Christmas music shared with us by William. I'm so glad he did the Christmas songs--I was hesitant in asking William to do this because I know the holidays are often times hard for folks to deal with. A lot of us just try t...

William, you may to start working OVERTIME for us. We're hungry to learn this thing. You've just got too much good stuff coming out!!!!!

Well, never thought I could ever love this song any more than I already did---that is (until) I heard William playing it. He gives it life. Sure enjoy grabbing those lower register strings and climbing up like you do William. Hope this one makes on the to do list!

BEAUTIFUL

Nice selection, Larry! It'd be mighty hard to pick a tune that William couldn't make you want'a learn. Pretty one Mr. William---Technique it, Tab it, and Post it. That will be another fun Saturday session for us all......
