Why is it when you put something on there that you feel is junk, loads of people look at it??

Very nice, John - one of my favorite songs. I've been working on that one myself on my universal. I play it an octave lower for a more mellow sound. I'm surprised you don't use C6 for this song. But it also works well on E9.

Very nicely played John, 2,600 views ain't nothing to complain about.

Thanks for the comments, its nice to get a bit of encouragement...
David I am one of those that used the back neck as an armrest for the first 20 years! Though I love it now I am staying in my comfort zone for the moment.

John, I almost hate to do this to you, but it's really your fault -- if I hadn't heard your nice version of the song, I might not have tried it on steel and then would not have gone Google to look up the lyrics I forgot and then would not have encountered this: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/justinti ... river.html. Boy, we've come a long way from "told me love was too plebian, now you say you're through with me and ..."

Hi, John - that was lovely!

I do get on the Forum frequently, but I'm not yet in the habit of going to the '...Internet' category - I can see now that I'm missing a lot of good stuff!

Best wishes for 2009!

Nice one John, I could play some nice c6th backup on that one, we will have to get together soon.
At this time I have taken a fancy to the Merle Haggerd album, Unforgettable, and have started to write the backins down, have a nice version of the same.
Also having a go at,Autumn Leaves,Stardust,Pennies From Heaven,I'll Get By, Your Nobody till,How High The Moon Sentimental Journy, and others, if your interestad.
I discovered the c6th arm rest 6 months ago after all these years, and wow, whole new world.
Regards,Slim.
