Workin' on a new book

Post by Andy Volk »

I'm hard at work on a new book called "C6th Blueprint" ... which I envision as a comprehensive workbook for scales, chords, arpeggios, and techniques for 6-string C6th lap steel. It's kicking my butt a bit! :)

Very exciting, Andy! It looks like a very comprehensive guide to C6 lap steel guitar. I think you're going to sell a boatload of these!

Looks great Andy. I am sure this will be a 'staple" for the C6 lap player for years to come.
