Wow Mike, another killer tune. Great job on a classic. I just ordered the package. Thanks for doing this,

ps the Aiello Pot Bellys rule!

Very nice Mike, great playing. The tone of the Clinesmith is fantastic too.
Dave

Hey Mike, I'll definitely want one of these too. Thanks for all your messages the last few months, hope to see you soon.
Dave

Sounds beautiful as always Greg, great job.

A few years ago I was subbing with a band on pedal steel, dobro and lap steel.
When the singer introduced me she said "That's Dave on pedal steel, dobro, and...that thing in his lap that he rubs."

Yeah, sounds great, very clean and fast but still plenty of feeling on the slides and sustained notes. And only 6 strings!

Thanks Andy, add me to the list of satisfied customers. A great product, service and price. The picks are very comfortable. I'm going to miss the dirty yellow sheen of NuSkin on my fingers though.....

Yeah, great playing and they both seem to be having a good time!

Nice arrangement and playing Mike and the Clinesmith sounds great. Tenderly is one of my favorite ballads.

The cds are divided into individual tracks for each example, with the steel on one channel and the back up on the other.

There are 39 tracks on disc 1 and 38 on disc 2.

Hope to get to check out a Clinesmith at some point, they sure look cool and the reviews couldn't be better. Grant Green cds are a blast to play steel and dobro along with. Way more accessible to my ears and chops than Joe Pass or guys like that. I went through the same Grant Green marathon thing wh...

Definitely worth getting. I also play C6 w/high G but it was useful to see the evolution of various tunings leading into the C6, and once you get to it there is plenty on C6. It is a big investment for a book, but there is a ton of material there along with cds. My theory with books is if I buy a bo...

Great thread. Clarence had at least as big an influence on bluegrass guitar with his acoustic playing. The mostly instrumental record Appalachian Swing was a legendary out-of-print record in the 70's but it's on cd now. I read somewhere that Jesse Ed Davis' version of Statesboro Blues with Taj Mahal...

When I was learning slants I'd leave my tuner on and check often. Start with the bar in the straight position and make sure you are in tune there. Go to the slant position and check the highest string by itself. Move the bar until it is in tune, then check the lower string. Get that in tune, then go...

Wow, that's great news. I saw them at House Without A Key in early 2001 and they are both fantastic. Casey has a nice swinging touch and tons of technique, and Hiram is one of the best rhythm guitarists I've ever seen, going from nice swing chords to slack key style in an instant. Hope I can make it...

Nice Gerald, is that the new amp? I think I know Mike Daugherty - if he used to live in Baltimore.

Thanks for the head's up Andy. Paul Buskirk was a great player. I love his playing on Willie's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" album and on the Herb Remington albums that Rick Alexander put on cd. He also was on an album with Shot Jackson playing a resonator tenor guitar, I think it is "...

Get well soon Buddy, our thoughts are with you and Kay. Thanks for posting this Wanda.

Hey Rick, Hope you're back playing soon, all the positive thoughts heading your way reflect the positive impact you've had here.
Dave

Thanks for setting this up Mike, hope the donations keep coming in.

Yes that's him. I bought that record when it first came out. I had heard of Vince from a record called "Billy Perry's Bluegrass Jam" which had Vince on lead guitar and Jerry Douglas on dobro along with Ricky Skaggs and Bobby Clarke. They all looked like high school kids on the record cover...

Thanks for posting these Howard. That was a great time. What a pleasure to play with Gerald, Marv and Kathy, and thanks to Rick Aiello for putting the whole thing on. I'm playing 6 string on Under Paris Skies and 7 string on Indiana.
