Did Jeff Newman do a Woodshed of Steel Guitar Rag?

Mr. Jenkins, I'm getting ready to go out as I read your post. My recollection is that there is a Newman course on Steel Guitar Rag, but I don't think it was in Woodshed Workshop series. I have it and when I have some time I'll see if I can find it and let you know.

Sonny,

I don't think it was a "Woodshed" course but there are two that I'm aware of: a very uptempo chicken-pickin' version in the booklet "Jeff Newman and a Few Good Friends and one other (my favorite) that is swing style using the lever that drops your Es. Both are pretty hot pieces.

It's on Jeff Newman & a few good friends, 33 1/3 record JF-700.

I have most of Newman’s “Woodshed Workshop” series plus a lot of his other material.

He put out “Steel Guitar Rag” as a separate course complete with an audio cassette (older) or a CD (newer). It’s pretty good! Basically, he takes you through the melody & chorus 2 different ways and then there’s an extended solo section where you drop your E’s (4 & 8 ) which puts you in a 6th tuning. The solo is quick single-note work.

It really is a workout and not your garden-variety tab of Steel Guitar Rag.

I would really like to have the TAB , AUDIO , OR (hopefully) BOTH of this Newman SGR lesson.

Is anybody willing to share this? I am willing to buy it or provide you with any lessons I have in return.

Anybody willing to share?

Tom and others here are correct. Jeff released two versions of Steel Guitar Rag with tab. The first was on his "Jeff Newman & a Few Good Friends" LP and the later course was just the tab book and the tape or CD. They are in different keys and styles.

Here is the audio from one I have.
He talks you through it on the 4th track.
