Litaker Broadcast (Last Date )

Post by Joey Andrews »

One of the best broadcast to date. When you think they can't get in better, you pulled out all the stops and make them better. If you missed the broadcast, you need to get it. The broadcast was chocked full of useful licks, intro's, and information. Way to go William!!!!!!

You're right, Joey. The only thing Wild Bill left out is the way Tulsa Dan blocks with his boot! :lol:

Todays Broadcast

William is fast becoming the complete steel guitar instructor. He doesn't leave anything out and if you have a question just e-mail or call him and explain the problem and he will work with you...and right now. Not after next weeks lesson...jr

The boot block

Post by Joey Andrews »

George you are right about Dan's boot block. William need to get a video of the boot block to see if he is using right foot technique correctly, maybe Dan will chime in and give us a update on this world class one of a kind move. JA

That was a killer broadcast today! I know William's been trying to keep the time down for those of us who like to download and save the broadcasts, but an hour goes by quick.

Trust me gentleman, and especially ladies, I have yet to find a camera angle that will not rigorously embarrass the gentle viewer regarding the patented Tulsa Boot Block.

I know, Dan. You definitely have to protect the innocent. I'm sure William will teach us the move someday. Heck, he teaches us everything as it is. Don't you folks just love the songs that William picks for the live broadcasts.

I agree there, George. Even songs I don't care for too much initially, I come around to after we get through with them. The current number is not example of that, though. Anything that's got that Texas shuffle kicking through it, I'm a happy camper.

William has always answered any question I have sent him. I really get a lot of help from his weekly teaching videos.

I recently heard from William that he will mention the boot block technique and answer any questions regarding the frying pan during this Saturday's lesson.

I've been tuning into the broadcast for 4 weeks or so now and it's well worth the modest price ($5/week!) that William charges. Lots of great technique stuff you can use as licks or to develop your right hand, along with intros and project tunes. He does a free one on one Skype session when you subscribe and helped me fix some bad right hand technique habits I didn't know that I had. I also like that you can watch it any time you want since I can't always make it for the live broadcast; in fact you can go back and revisit an "episode" any time you want. Thanks for doing this William. See you all Saturday at 1PM EST!

I’ve been with William since 8 January 2011 and he has helped me out lots of times, with special sessions to show me a lick I needed to know for a song and followed up with a phone call to ask how it went. That has happened lots of times! All for the same $5.00 a lesson!!

Got to agree with all so far. I have been working with William since before the broadcasts started!
He truly wants you to learn and I know he enjoys what he does. Thanks to William, I have made tens of dollars playing steel in the last year alone! ha!
All kidding aside, he really has helped me a lot and never seems to get tired of my endless questions!
Thanks William!
Twang to the bone!

Next Project Workshop Tune?

Post by Daniel Policarpo »

Hey guys, I know there is a lot of demand for Crazy Arms as William's next Project Series tune, but I have to say that this is also absolutely killer. I don't know many doing Bars of Steel...

Today's meeting was another top-notch broadcast. "Don't You Ever Get Tired of Hurting Me" is turning out to be one hell of a tune, too!

I don't know what he's going to do for the next Project Tune proper, but whatever he does is fine with me. I really like how he does Bars of Steel though. If not this time, maybe next.

I'm going to try and record a short demo of the Oklahoma Boot Block this week... :lol:

Hey Dan,
Try not to hurt yourself. Remember what you said about this move. And there are some women on the forum. :\
