Hey Don,
That's alright ! I think your well on your way after such a long layoff. Great to be back in the saddle again huh.

We'll look for more
Jeff

Great song and loved the tone and execution ! Thanks Adair !

Jeff

Thanks Gary ! I'm quite fond of it. As Eric said Jeff is certainly carrying on Duane's legacy of being a super person.

Jeff

Dickey : yes it does feel like Christmas early ! I must have been good this year.

Crowbear : Thanks ! I love the look as well, and love to play the old kinda stuff.

Thanks again guys
Jeff

I just got my second Show Pro from Jeff and Gloria. Thought I would share it with everyone. Here is a short clip of me hacksawing away at it.

Thanks guys for the encouragement and kind words. It would be great if I could do one of these in a few years that these guys actually played the instruments and sang, but that will be up to them. This is a great hobby for me and a lot of fun. I love the steel and classic country sounds ! Thanks aga...

The 4 year old and 9 year old command a large fee to appear, but the old guy works cheap !

I'll go along with Larry's take on this. There is a lot of patterns and licks that I practice with my eyes closed. I'ts great for your playing and confidence. This came from Paul Franklin one night I was talking to him at the station Inn. What a great tip. Besides when you watch clips of Buddy,Paul ...

Hey Bent,
I think you should get right on making on with your grand kids then maybe we could trade notes !

Jeff

Thanks to all of you for the encouragement and kind words. It was neat doing this with the kids, problem is now they want more money and top billing !

Jeff

Here is a clip I made with the grandkids

It's good that we have fine youth taking our instrument into the future. Way to go Austin !

Hi Wayne, You can put it in the position to the left of pedal A for the Emmons setup as long as you can easily access the lever that lowers your E's. For me that is the Right knee moving left. Many guitars have the lever lowering the E's on the Left knee moving right. I have never had my E's lowered...

Hi Bob, I'm not Tony, but I believe it's important to have that pedal in a spot that's easy to use your E lowers along with it. I personally have it on the 4th pedal. Paul Franklin has it on the 4th pedal. Many have it as their first pedal next to the A pedal. I'm speaking of an Emmons setup here no...

That was real nice John !

Hey Zach, To answer your question on the speed up I can say that the lesson has several practice tracks that go through the chord changes each track goes a little faster until it's up to speed. When you listen to Paul play it up to speed you swear you will never be able to get there. I did eventuall...

Hi Bill, With us playing an instrument without frets Bar placement is a problem and always will be a problem. A great deal of my practice time is spent moving through many fret positions as in these lessons to try to get the placements right. It's tough, but the benefits of expanding your freedom on...

Hi Zach, I have The uptempo lesson as well as the speed picking series. What they teach you is some great licks to cover a chord progression in G, but the best part is once you get it you find out you are learning how to use the whole fretboard instead of just the "Stock" positions to play...

Pretty good for unrehearsed ! The Emmons sounds good John.

Jeff

Thanks Dave it does take a while, but as I said it was snowing and I had nothing else to do. Merry Christmas to you and keep up your great videos !

Bob, You are so correct the whole look is over the top right down to the Titleist hat, this bunch has a tendency to frighten people away !

Jeff

Jack, I used a Intel Mac and software called Final Cut Pro. The audio was done in Logic pro 9. All the videos were shot without moving the camera so the background would remain constant, then it's a matter of overlaying them on top of each other simple huh !
The software does the hard stuff.

Jeff

Thanks guy's ain't technology great !

George, There aren't any arguments in this band and they never tell me the steel is to loud in the mix !
Jeff

I know this is far from perfect, but it was cold this weekend and I had nothing else to do
