Nice job picking on that song William.
Looks like you recorded that several years ago back before you had a beard.

I did that in 2010. Was not as gray back then....Almost forgot I tried that one !

Wow! That song is full of good licks! William can not only play this stuff, he's any excellent teacher and can break it down with his method that makes it so easy to learn and be able to play it yourself.

I keep hoping William will do some steel shows and have seminars for beginners and advanced players, but he's so busy with his online teaching. I've learned a lot from him, and you can too....and the cost is so affordable.

If you're going to learn to play this thing, learn it the right way. You'll thank yourself later.

Hey Rick,
Youâ€™re telling the truth. William should be able to play some seminars and/or shows but heâ€™s so tied down to his weekly broadcast. It would be a drag for everyone who couldnâ€™t make it and theyâ€™d miss a broadcast. Maybe we could somehow make his seminar/show into the broadcast.

I canâ€™t remember what I was doing in 2010, but I wasnâ€™t trying to play â€˜Tie A Yellow Ribbonâ€™! Great rendition William.

Great Song! William has provided to me, and I bet for others, the CONFIDENCE needed to be able to play this instrument without going completely insane while trying to learn on it. Iâ€™m â€œconfidentâ€ that all of us can learn to play Tie A Yellow Ribbonâ€”-Iâ€™m also confident that there is absolutely NO way I would ever attempt this tune without Williamâ€™s help. So, letâ€™s jump in with both feet and Tie that Ribbon!

Nice William, Jeff Newman would be proud.
He did a lot for steel guitar and as well you have.
Passing on his knowledge and yours.
