Hi David, I am new here also. Cindy's dvds are good I have just received them but she seems to put the G note on the high end. From her book I am looking at : High to Low G-.010 E-.014 C-.018 A-.026 G-.028 E-.036 C-.046 A-.052 Your guitar may require re-stringing for this tuning. Cindy's DVDs seem t...

Charlie,

Hi Jack,

I'm new too and probably -5 at playing

Lessons ? Non-pedal ? Where ? I'm in Southern California-Lake Forest) and I think it's fairly hard to find live instruction. I know there is someone in Long Beach but I think it's pedal steel.

Anyway I was just curious
