Hey, guys, we prepared a new update to that resource package and William has been sending it out, even as I type this, to those who've already received an earlier copy. The update is the same information but with a bit of a face lift to it. There'll soon be another update that is much more expanded and complete. It's a cool little quick reference tool that I'm sure will be useful for many.

Have a great day! :)

Thank you to everyone who has got their Resource Kit. I just sent everyone a new update. New Guitar Mfgs. and more Resources.

If you have tried to get yours and have had trouble please let me know. So far I think it has gone pretty smooth.

I have this automated so be sure to put "Steel Guitar Kit" in the subject line. If you do that you should not have any trouble.

Thanks everyone!

This is really a useful tool for steel players, both beginners and pros. It's nice of William to take time to put this together as a free tool for the steel guitar forum family. I understand that Jim Lindsay had a hand in this also. Both these guys are excellent, experienced, advanced players and should be commended for sharing their knowledge with everyone. I think every steel player will find something useful in this resource kit.

I was honored that William chose to include my web site for my Band In A Box Made Easy DVD, that is 1:15 broken down into 16 easy to understand step by step lessons. :lol: :lol: PLUG :lol: :lol:

William,

Just received my UpDate and wanted to express my thanks.
This has been a real help for me.

Will you be adding to the 'Settings" section with perhaps that other great Steel Amp..The Twin.

Thanks again.
