I thought maybe I would play a chorus and a verse of SleepWalk on the C6th....maybe should have practiced a little more. Been back at it for right at 2 months. Still pretty rough. I am hanging with it as much as possible. Let me know what you think about this video. I welcome all feedback. SleepWalk is not as easy to play as I thought it would be. Thanks for
taking time to watch my videos.....William Litaker

Sounded like there's a little too much Volume Pedal work in there. Otherwise it came out really fine.

Yep, too much volume pedal pumping, otherwise sounds good.

I don't know what is the problem with the volume pedal. I played for 25 years before and it never was an issue. For some reason it just don't feel right. I can't get a handle on it. Hopefully if I keep at it I can smooth the problem out. Always used an Emmons Volume pedal before with no problem. Don't know what is different now.

Thanks guys , I will work on it......for sure

When you YOUTUBE with that brand of PSG on the forum you’re going to be held to a much higher standard.
With that in mind I think your choice of wearing apparel was inappropriate.
You should have worn pajamas and a night cap for “Sleep Walk”
A suit and tie for “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”
And at least a cowboy hat on “Sing a Sad Song”
Next time use a Sho-Bud and all the replies will focus on your poor choice of PSG and give you a free pass on everything else.
The playing was fine. No ifs, ands and buts needed.

No truer words have been spoken BO.....Finally a man with some style...

I been playing Emmons for 30 years , Do they make another brand ???
I was buying Emmons D-10 push-pulls from Ron back in the early 80's for less than $1000.00
It's all I know ! !
