Now THAT was Fun. You guys having some YUCKS!, and doing some killer playin! Thanks Dave. You could start a new thing, "Band in a Closet" LOL

[Jim Eller]

Another great piece as usual.

David, would you please explain your train whistle??

Thanks,
Jim

[David Hartley]

The train whistle....?

Its quite easy really. I just kinda slant the bar at no particular angle above the 12th fret, strum the bottom strings ie 10,9,8,7,6 with your thumb pick while the voloume pedal is off, then immediately slide the slanted bar up a few frets while pedalling the volume to almost maximum. With a bit of practice you can kinda get a pretty authentic whistle of a steam train. I think I may have visited Bressingham Steam Trains to much when I was young to have this sound emmbedded in my brain!

Hope this helps you Jim,
Regards,

David Hartley

Dave; another great job working with your team mates in your closet. Is that John doing the lead work? Tell your friends we think they are all great musicians.. Keep em' coming.. Bernie

[Roger Edgington]

You guys are having too much fun. Sounds like you've been listening to ole' Roadhog too. Our band is the same way.

[Donny Hinson]

I had no idea people actually rehearsed a song like "Fulsom Prison Blues"!

[Les Anderson]

So playing steel guitar is just a hobby for you is it?:roll: Lord, please give me a hobby like Dave's!

You know Dave, if you lived on this side of the Atlantic and paid a visit to Nashville, I have a feeling they would keep you busy seven days a week. Another great piece of steel work.

[Joe McHam]
