Cool intro in today's lesson. I really enjoyed it.

And, of course, we're all waiting for the Policarpo Boot Blockin' pedal...

I broke my pot pedal's string boot blockin' today. Fortunately I got a roll of the stuff laying around. Re-attaching that bugger is always a pain, but nothin' else makes a chord disappear and reappear like a good old Okie boot block.

I hope everyone's pedals and guitars are all repaired now. Waiting to see what happens Saturday.

Great lesson last Saturday. The new word for the week is "Behoove". I did not realize William was also an English teacher.
If you want to play steel better, checkout the weekly Steelin Techniques. You will like it.

Technique exercises and Tabs sheets go out tomorrow and they will certainly behoove you!

George Buechley · Post by **George Buechley** » 6 Mar 2015 12:34 pm

Hey William, what a great surprise this morning when the tab sheets arrived early.

Another song completed and in the books. New one start next Saturday. William my binder is getting full of songs, keep them coming! JA

That was a good one to go through! I think I'll be working So Afraid Of Losing You out for awhile, as it behooves my instruction positively.

George Buechley · Post by **George Buechley** » 10 Mar 2015 7:18 am

So Afraid Of Losing You is a fun song to play.
It's been kind of quiet this week. I wonder what's in store for this coming Saturday.

Hey Dan, how's the pedal doing?

Restrung and I had to re-solder the ground. I guess it comes with the territory of a good ol' boot block.

Looks like we have another good one starting this Saturday at 1:00 ET. I'm in! JA

Dang, Joey...I just noticed the collection of steels you have!

I worked on my Stage One a little this week and got the tension a little tighter and the throw just a little longer. I don't like it when the pedals go down too easy, when they are too sensitive. It ain't Emmons, but it ain't bad.

Well thank you for all the kind words guys.....I hope you are having fun and learning to play at the same time , because I am having a blast doing it!

George Buechley · Post by **George Buechley** » 13 Mar 2015 11:50 am

Hey William you should see my Franklin pedal!

Works if I use just two strings...

George

Joey Andrews · Post by **Joey Andrews** » 17 Mar 2015 9:01 pm

William a free Saturday broadcast. What are you trying to do, show people how much fun we have learning to play the steel guitar every Saturday!!!!!

George Buechley · Post by **George Buechley** » 18 Mar 2015 10:58 am

Check it out, folks. William does a real nice variety of songs that aren't easy to play. You will really learn some things.

George

Joey Andrews · Post by **Joey Andrews** » 21 Mar 2015 8:36 pm

Daniel I'm worst than a kid in the candy store when it comes to steels. I hardly see one that I don't like or want. Bad habit!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel Policarpo · Post by **Daniel Policarpo** » 22 Mar 2015 1:51 pm

Ha, it'd be too easy! I am perfectly fine with the sound and play-ability of my little old Stage One. It's got all I need for honky tonk stuff I like to play, but I am seriously thinking about getting an MSA Classic or Vintage XL. And then I see a nice Charleton style Sho-Bud come up and it's jsut too crazy of a selection, especially if you're basically judging on looks and an educated guess as far as sound. I know what Chalker and Charleton sound like on those great instruments, but I'm not going to sound like that, no matter what steel I get!

Joey Andrews · Post by **Joey Andrews** » 27 Mar 2015 4:21 pm

Saturday fast approaching. Probably still time to get signed up for some great instructions, mixing with a lot of fun. Litaker 101 style!

Daniel Policarpo · Post by **Daniel Policarpo** » 28 Mar 2015 1:30 pm

Man, that was something else today. I've already played through #233 twice. That Emmons/Claude (not Claudia

) Gray tune is fantastic. In fact, I had never heard of Claude Gray until today and I'm finding all sorts of great stuff he's done on youtube. He is definitely a friend to the steel guitar and apparently still performing.

Thank you for requesting him Mr. Larry Robbins!

Buddy's sound is so wicked here:

After William mentioned Claudia Gray in yesterday's lesson, I just had to find out who she was; Claudia Gray is a pseudonym for Amy Vincent, a young adult paranormal romance author, best known for the Evernight series. Not even close to Claude Gray! Curious minds just have to know.

Great session today. No problems on the playback. The graphic drawings of the picking and bar hand technique was awesome. Really like the backup and fills!

George Buechley · Post by **George Buechley** » 6 Apr 2015 4:27 am

Anyone struggling with that Intro? Might take me another week to get it to sound good.
