Steelin' From The Masters DVD giveaway (The winners)
Drawing is finished.
In the future, I will be donating 20% of my sales to the Non-Pedal Room at the TSGA for 2011. I want to go back and I want to see this continue. Money is a big consideration for the proliferation of the Non-Pedal room.

Great idea Mike. Many people probably don't know that Rick Alexanders legacy financed the room this year, and perhaps all the other years he supported it(it was my first). So ideas like yours are what it will take to help keep it going.
Great playing by the way, you make that Clinesmith sing. Hope to see you there next year.

There will be three very happy winners, for sure! I took delivery of my SFTM DVD 2 weeks ago and my wife hasn't seen me since! It is a VERY detailed look at a classic tune. I cannot recommend it highly enough for the many of you out there who began with Cindy Cashdollar's Western Swing, vol's 1 and 2. Mike's video covers more advanced techniques and has really helped me kind of break through a personal plateau. I am REALLY excited about the last chapter of the video, in which, Mike suggests ways you can use licks that you've learned in the solo in other styles of music. Very cool!!
Hey Mike - Any chance you will post a performance of the song on youtube?!?!

Thanks for your submissions, everyone. Sorry I have not responded to your emails, but I've sent them directly to a folder made for the entries. Odds are still pretty good at this point (about 1 in 15).
I will keep it open until midnight tonight (12:00am EST) and then tomorrow morning I will have each of my 3 kids pick a name from the hat, fair and square. I wish I could give one to everyone, believe me!
I'll announce the winners here.

Mike, that's very thoughtful and generous of you to do that for Rick, and the cause. I know Peter, Jim, and Neil will be happy.
There are lots of great licks and teaching in this video, with nice camera angles and sound. All levels of players will gain something from this. He really breaks down a complex song, showing how it can be played without pedals.
Thanks, Mike.

I just finished watching this fine video from start to finish and Mike has done a superb job on it! He really takes you step by step (i.e., bar by bar) through the entire Emmons rendition of this popular tune, clearly demonstrating (with 3 simultaneous camera angles) how to play everything. And then, in my opinion the best part, he then shows you how to take some of Buddy's cool licks and use them in other places and in other ways. I think that's probably the most valuable part of all, since otherwise, hey, after you've learned to play one tune, what have you got? One tune! Unless you learn something more general from it that you can use in lots of tunes in the future, including ones you're not even thinking about right now. So, my hat's off to Mike for including that 3rd part of the video and not stopping at just teaching the one tune (even though it's a great one and you'll certainly have to master a lot of technique to be able to play it cleanly at tempo.)
Highly recommended!
