I'm still a beginner, but thanks to Roy Thomson, i have something to practice on. My old Rick. is next to my PC so i hit it every day at least 1 hour. Thanks Roy.

I've received a lot of posts about nothing lately, and sure enough it ain't.

Hello Tim, welcome aboard. I'm a newby as well and you don't have to worry about any questions, this is a great site with folk ready to help. I have received so much help, i feel like i know these guys personally. I'm working on my first and second songs. (Recommended by Roy Thomson in case i get ti...

Terry, I really enjoyed your songs. You have come a long way, so keep on steelin. I'm a newby since before Christmas and still learning my first song. It's Cold Cold Heart. I never realized it was a 15 minute song till i started playing. Keep up the good work and post some more. CR

I bought a HeavyDuty Deluxe ERGOLOK Keyboard Stand from Musicians Friend and it works fine. I have no more wobble, and the height is good(adjustable). A piece of table top cut 43"x12" and 1/2" thick is perfect to set my D-16 on. No sliding or movement. I can also use it for my keyboar...

I've been working on "Cashdollars" Cold Cold Heart. Got the tune down but still working on technique. The Christmas music is a relief from the same thing every day. Went back to basics as you instructed and i sure missed a lot. It should be easy learning new stuff when there are no habits ...

Hello Roy, The Christmas tabs and music are great. I'm having pretty good practices with "O Little Town".Should i work on one song at a time or try learning more than one? The position instructions were
very helpful. Thanks AGAIN ...........Craig

I'm a beginner at this and ordered a Dunlop 920. It's a little heavy for me. 7/8"dia. x 2-7/8long & 7.5oz. I'm dropping down to a 5.5oz.Dunlop. I think i can hold and lift it easier. C.R.
