The Steel Guitar Forum

According to the professor, BLUE JADE will start on Saturday broadcast. If you need to sign up click on this link http://www.pedalsteeler.com/
We have some fun and a lot of helpful instructions on the broadcast usually last about 1 hour. If you want to learn to be a better player, you have stopped at the right place.

This will be great! Fun song to learn. We sure get a wide assortment of songs on the Saturday lessons. Looking forward to Saturday.

Ok guys time to get your tab printed out and tuned up! See you at 1:00 pm

If you miss Saturday Broadcast, you missed one of best intro's William has played on that push/pull Emmons(Wonderful tonight) It is well worth the sign up fee for the broadcast to get tab alone!

I just had a chance to look at this past Saturday's broadcast. At the end of the broadcast he goes over the Weldon Myrick - Hal Rugg two finger, 3 string song. Very nice and not too difficult until you try to get it up to speed. Good stuff, as always, from Mr. Litaker. Also, a C6 workshop coming. He is "The Man."

That's right Howard good stuff and a C6 workshop coming up! Ok guys and gals, time to get those worksheets printed out and tune up your steels. See you at 1:00 PM tomorrow!

This weeks lesson was really good! Thanks William for mentioning all those Buck Owens and Porter Wagner shows. They really are great to watch.

This was my first broadcast from William after signing up on the suggestion of Harvey Lamb, a steel player and new friend in Calgary. I quite enjoyed it and I did pick up a few things from William. If I work through the tabs a few times this week, I might come close to learning some of it. Blue Jade, admittedly, is not a song I know but I expect I'll get it as it doesn't seem too complex. Of course, I am an abject beginner generating more noise than music but I will definitely try.

Saturday fast approaching, still time to join the fun! Go ahead and sign up you will be glad to did!

Tomorrows techniques look fun! Intro looks great. And we're still working on Blue Jade. Another great weekend.

It was fun, George! As are they all! Been riding alongside William since the start and I know you are an old timer at it too! See you next week!

So, who's throwing down for William's commemorative 5-year gold watch?

Another great broadcast, just about to put Blue Jade in the books. There will be a new project tune starting soon. I want to welcome all the new folks that have signed up for the broadcast this week. I feel that this will be the best money you ever spent to learn to play!

You got that right, Joey! Best bang for the buck out there!

We get some Weldon tomorrow!

That's such a great intro. Simple and loaded with style. I've been on a Weldon Myrick kick for the last few weeks, so I may not be the only one who requested some Weldon, but either way, thanks Wilhelm!

On the broadcast William teaching Buddy Emmons (Blue Jade) Weldon Myrick intro's mixed with some exercises to improve your technique, what more could you ask for in a session at the price he charges!
Thanks William for all you do to help!

That's right, Joey. I thought it was a very good broadcast too but then again, they all are!

Don't ya just love the way Weldon throws that F lever in the mix. Cool

Project tune(Lost in the Feeling) Starts This Saturday. William has line up some great licks
for Tech exercises for this week. For anyone that's wants to be a better player, you might want to give
William a chance. He pretty good at getting you started down the right path.

Hell yeah, Joey. This is going to be a good one!

In the couple years I've been with William, I've gone from a pretty rudimentary style of play, to an even more rudimentary style of play, hehe, but with a lot more confidence, understanding of how to place things within a song, the fret-board, how not to get boxed in, etc etc. All those things takes lots of time.

One of the biggest benefits of these weekly sessions is staying focused. You have to have goals in this deal, long range and short term ones. Just last week I got to one: I can play along to Charley Pride's "All I Have to Offer You is Me". Figured out the signature licks and moves on my own, and also put a couple things of my own devising in there.

I need to borrow my wife's phone and get a video up. It's those weekly Technique exercises and playing along with the Intros each week, (those backing tracks are vital to linking your ear and timing!). And of course there are the project tunes. After we finish "Lost in the Feeling" tht should just about take it to William's 5 year mark. You 5 year guys and gals must have an encyclopedia of licks by now!

That's right, Dan! I have several note books full
of intros and exorcises and project tunes. Hundreds of
pages altogether . Each one a treasure!

Daniel with a couple of years of material is a lot of useful licks in your collection but Larry five years of William stuff, you got enough ammo there to play for years.

Larry, I just started putting together another notebook of licks, tips, and personal discoveries the last month. I did this before, but only made it a couple pages and starting entering similar information into my computer, but I don't look at it or reference it enough. Some things just work better with pen and paper, especially when sitting down and taking the time to think about what we are doing. You can get pretty deep in the mines looking for nuggets on this deal.

Really looking forward to "lost in the Feeling" today!

Oh yeah, I think today we see the return of the LeGrande.
